PRP TREATENT - Liverpool
What is PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is an effective remedy for hair loss in both men and women, PRP Therapy utilizes your own plasma to rejuvenate and stimulate hair regrowth. This treatment has been used in medicine for many years to treat a variety of health conditions, including arthritis, wound healing and even in heart surgery to repair tissue. The good news for anyone suffering from thinning hair, is that plasma can help boost hair follicle activity and encourage new hair growth. PRP treatment is available in our Liverpool clinic and carried out by a registered medical professional.
How it works:
step 1. You have your blood taken from your arm by our experienced Nurse.
step 2. Your blood is spun on high speed in a machine.
step 3. Once your blood has spun for a short while, the red & white blood cells separate, these white blood cells are called PLASMA, also known as 'liquid gold'
step 4. The plasma is then injected into the hair follicles. with a very small & fine needle.
