Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is rich in growth factors and other healing components found in your blood. When injected, these components trigger your body's natural healing processes, promoting cellular regeneration and collagen production. This translates to:
Our Duluth PRP treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that involves a consultation, blood draw, PRP preparation, and a series of targeted PRP injections. During your consultation, one of our aesthetics experts will sit with you to discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. A small amount of blood is then drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test at the doctor's office. The blood is processed in a centrifuge to extract the platelet-rich plasma. Before the injections, a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. The concentrated PRP is then injected into the desired areas, like under the eyes or in areas of hair loss on the scalp. Recovery is relatively quick, with mild redness or tenderness usually resolving within a couple of days. Enjoy the benefits of PRP treatment with ease and minimal discomfort.
PRP concentrates healing factors already present in your blood and injects them into the injured area. This concentrated dose acts like a booster, increasing blood flow to deliver important nutrients for cell function. PRP also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks that give your tissues structure and elasticity. For aesthetic treatments, PRP can be used as an injectable (similar to a dermal filler) that concetrates growth factors in the area, or as a force multiplier for microchannel treatments like microneedling to infuse the microchannels with additional growth factors.
PRP is a versatile treatment that can be used to naturally rejuvenate several areas of the face and body.
PRP injections in the scalp can strengthen hair follicles, reduce hair loss, and stimulate new hair growth by revitalizing the scalp conditions and enhancing blood flow to the follicles.
PRP injections can stimulate collagen production and promote tissue rejuvenation, improving the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, hollowing, and fine lines under the eyes.
PRP boosts collagen production and promotes cellular turnover to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, loss of elasticity, uneven skin texture, all while providing a healthy, radiant glow.
Microneedling with PRP combines the benefits of microneedling with the regenerative power of PRP. Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the healing response and enhancing collagen production. PRP is then applied topically as a serum, which is deeply absorbed into the tiny channels created by the microneedling device. This synergistic treatment leads to improved skin texture and tone and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
PRP is a safe and effective option for many individuals. During your consultation for PRP treatment Duluth aesthetics experts at Kontour Med Spa will assess your concerns, health history, and suitability for treatment to achieve your desired results.
PRP treatment requires minimal downtime. You may experience some mild redness or tenderness at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a day or two. Your Kontour specialist will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to optimize your results.
While you may notice initial improvements within a few weeks, optimal results for PRP under-eye rejuvenation, hair restoration, and skin rejuvenation are typically achieved after a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. PRP results can last up to a year, but maintenance treatments may be recommended to keep your youthful appearance and healthy hair growth.
The number of treatments needed varies depending on your concerns and desired results. Your Kontour aesthetic specialist will discuss a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure thanks to the application of a topical anesthetic (optional) and the use of a small needle.
Side effects are typically mild and temporary, and may include redness, tenderness, or swelling
