Learn More About PRP

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentrated preparation of platelets and the associated growth factors in a small volume of plasma. Platelets and other components in human blood migrate to the point of care as part of the body’s own healing ability. The PRP is introduced into the body via direct injection or through a process called “Micro-needling”.

Platelets achieve healing and regeneration by releasing numerous growth factors that respond to tissue injury, stimulate stem cell production and initiate and promote the conditions for healing. Growth factors are very important in the healing of injuries, pain treatment, facial rejuvenation, tissue generation, sexual health and hair growth.

The Process of Extracting PRP

First we draw your blood into one or more special vials and then use a centrifuge to separate the Platelet Rich Plasma. This process is quick, painless and efficient, and we can retrieve up to 2.5 times more concentrated PRP because we use kits and equipment from Eclipse Aesthetics. Dr. Tiffany then injects the plasma into or around the specific areas of treatment, or she uses micro-needling on the skin and the PRP is applied topically. Our expert Practitioners can perform the procedure right in our office at Sunshine Health Care Center, and you can usually resume normal activities soon after. Best of all, it’s a completely natural therapy that’s derived from your own body’s innate ability to heal itself!
