What do hair, skin, joints and orgasms have in common?

I bet that’s not something you thought you would be thinking about today!!!

The answer is PRP! PRP stands for platelet rich plasma which is an incredible therapy that can be used all over the body due to its multitude of benefits!

What is PRP therapy?

Whenever you experience any type of injury the body immediately begins to deliver platelets to the injury site. Growth and healing factors are released to the area to start the healing and repair process. PRP therapy is where we take your blood and extract your platelet rich plasma (PRP). We then introduce this PRP back to the area of concern being treated.

How can PRP help my hair?

PRP is injected into the vascular layer of your scalp. The growth factors work on the hair follicle to “feed” it and encouraging it to grow. They also kickstart dormant hair follicles, encouraging them to re-grow.

The blood supply to the hair follicle is improved and the thickness of the follicle increases. Hair loss is decreased, and you get more hair growth! In addition, because PRP is minimally invasive, there is no major recovery or downtime. You can return to your daily routine immediately!

How can PRP help my skin?

It is very common nowadays to want to keep your skin looking young and healthy without going under the knife.

Microneedling with PRP uses two cutting-edge treatments to help the body produce new collagen and elastin, which results in a more radiant skin tone, improved texture and a reduced appearance of fine lines and scars.

The medical grade microneedling device creates channels down to the dermis. The PRP is the infused via these channels allowing the growth and healing factors to penetrate into the skin and repair any issues, leading to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

There is no scarring or downtime with this procedure and normal activities can be resumed almost immediately (you just have to wash your face first!).

This type of treatment can be done virtually anywhere on the body such as your face, hands, chest, neck and back.

How can PRP help my joints?

When your joints are inflamed due to injury or arthritis, they can be incredibly swollen and painful. Traditional anti-inflammatory treatments can be helpful but PRP is another alternative. The injured area is examined (using ultrasound if necessary) and then the PRP is injected into the affected area.

The joint may initially be a little more swollen and painful due to the infusion of PRP into the area, but this quickly settles. Most joints can’t be effectively treated.

How can PRP help my orgasms?

Did you know that more than 60% of women experience sexual dysfunction including the ability to become arouse or achieve orgasm? Did you know that over 40% of men over the age of 40 and over 70% of men over the age of 70 experience erectile dysfunction?

PRP can be injected into the anterior vaginal wall and clitoris in women and the shaft of the penis in men. Although this sounds very uncomfortable it is relatively painless and extremely well tolerated.

The delivery of PRP to these areas improves blood flow and promotes growth and healing factors to repair issues and improve function. There is minimal downtime and improvements to sexual health can be seen immediately.
