Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses a concentrated preparation of the patient's own platelets to deliver growth factors that stimulate collagen production, skin rejuvenation, tissue repair and hair follicle activity. Blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich fraction and re-injected or applied to the treatment area, often in combination with microneedling. Typical applications include skin quality improvement, androgenetic hair loss, under-eye rejuvenation and adjunctive treatment of acne scars.
