PRP: for Hair Restoration and Skin Rejuvenation

Written By Lisa Holt

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a form of treatment that draws on the body’s own regenerative abilities to help heal tissue and restore vitality. 

PRP is used in a range of therapeutic and medical treatments such as treating injurys and promoting muscle repair. It is also incredibly effective for treating the signs of ageing, hair loss and promoting skin rejeuvination. PRP therapy encourages your body to regenerate collagen and grow new skin cells.

In this post, we will look at the different ways that PRP therapy is used to improve the appearance of both skin and hair. 

What is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is derived from your own blood cells. Plasma is the liquid portion of the blood, made up largely of water and proteins, and it provides a medium for red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets to circulate through the body. Platelets are the blood cells that cause blood clots and other necessary growth healing functions. Platelets act like stem cells in the body, stimulating the development of new cells to replace the old. Platelets contain hundreds of proteins, which are called growth ‘factors’, which promote cell growth and healing. 

PRP therapy is a treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate growth and healing in your body. For the treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm and placed in a centrifuge, which spins the blood at high speeds to separate the different cells. The layer of blood containing a high concentration of platelets is extracted and is used in your treatment. 

PRP is used in sports medicine and orthopedics to help treat injuries and restore function to tissues in the body. Using the same techniques, LUXE uses PRP-therapy in order to achieve skin rejuvenation (under eyes, upper lip) and stimulates hair regrowth.

PRP can be injected into the skin or massaged into the skin when doing a microneedling or Morpheus8 treatment.  

How is PRP used to improve your skin?

The goal of Morpheus8 or microneedling is to create micro-injuries, which triggers the wound healing process by sending ‘healing reinforcements’, thereby producing collagen and promoting younger-looking skin.

The addition of PRP (through microneedling or injection) stimulates more cell replication and the production of new collagen. In short, PRP therapy to improve skin is a quick, easy procedure that unlocks your body’s own anti-ageing abilities.

PRP is a natural, effective procedure to address concerns such as:

  • Uneven Skin Tone/Texture

  • Fine Lines & Wrinkles

  • Enlarged Pores

  • Loss of Facial Volume

  • Scars

  • Hyperpigmentation

  • Sun damage

How is PRP Used to Regrow and Improve Hair? 

When the highly concentrated growth factors in PRP are injected into the affected areas of the scalp, they send cellular signals to regenerate diminishing of hair follicles, helping them to produce thicker, longer and stronger hair. This therapy also helps to preserve the existing hair follicle. Combined for XYON Hair care, many clients experience results in a few months.

For our bodies to grow hair, the follicle needs to be alive and receiving a healthy supply of blood. Therefore, where the hair follicle is present, PRP can assist in regrowing and promoting healthier and stronger hair. PRP therapy can be used to:

  • Treat various forms of alopecia

  • Prevent further hair loss, and slow the rate of thinning

  • Prepare the region for a hair transplant procedure (if you are planning one)

  • Accelerate the recovery of the hair & skin following a hair transplant procedure

Our team has experience dealing with both male and female pattern hair loss, and thanks to the PRP hair regrowth method, our clients are able to achieve hair restoration and vitality.

Minimal downtime

Because PRP uses your own blood, there is no risk of transmitted disease, imperfections or allergic reaction. Clients should follow the aftercare instructions provided to them by their nurse provider at LUXE.
