Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a treatment that uses your body’s natural healing properties to restore, repair, and rejuvenate tissues. It involves your provider drawing a small sample of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting or applying that concentrated plasma to targeted areas of your body. 

Since platelets are rich in growth factors, they help stimulate healing and tissue regeneration.

How does PRP work?

PRP works by delivering a high concentration of platelets directly to an area that needs repair or rejuvenation. Platelets contain growth factors that signal your body to produce new cells, improve circulation, and enhance collagen and tissue repair. 

When Dr. Lomax injects the PRP, it jumpstarts the natural healing process, making it a versatile treatment for medical and cosmetic purposes.

What procedures can benefit from PRP?

PRP therapy is widely used in both aesthetics and medicine. Some common applications include:

• Hair restoration: encourages new hair growth and strengthens thinning hair
• Facial rejuvenation (Vampire Facial®): improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity
• Joint and tendon therapy: assists in healing injuries and reducing inflammation in athletes or individuals with chronic pain
• Scar and wound healing: improves skin repair and minimizes the appearance of scars

In addition, Align Women’s Health uses PRP for a Vampire Breast Lift® to enhance the appearance of the breasts. It helps improve skin quality, restore volume, and create a more youthful look without surgery.

What are the overall benefits of PRP?

PRP therapy offers a wide range of benefits, making it an appealing option for those seeking natural results. Some of the advantages include:

• Utilizes your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reaction or rejection
• Stimulates your body’s natural healing response
• Improves circulation and tissue regeneration
• Minimally invasive with little to no downtime
• Versatile treatment for both cosmetic enhancement and medical recovery

PRP therapy provides a natural way to restore and revitalize your body, whether you’re seeking cosmetic improvements or help with healing.
