Arthrex PRP for Hair and Skin

Arthrex PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, is a treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to stimulate healing. It involves extracting a small amount of blood, processing it to concentrate platelets and growth factors, and then injecting the concentrated PRP into an injured or damaged area. 

This process aims to accelerate tissue repair and regeneration by harnessing the body’s natural healing abilities. 

Here's a more detailed explanation

1. Blood Collection

Repeating the same motion can strain tendons over time. 

2. Processing

The blood is processed using a specialised Arthrex kit, which centrifuges the blood to separate and concentrate platelets, which are rich in growth factors. 

3. Injection

The concentrated PRP is then injected into the specific area of injury or damage. 

4. Healing Process​

The growth factors in the PRP stimulate and accelerate the body's natural healing processes, leading to tissue repair and regeneration. 

Why is it used?

Orthopedic Injuries

PRP is commonly used for various orthopedic conditions, such as tendonitis, ligament injuries, and cartilage damage.

Skin Rejuvenation

PRP is also used in aesthetics for skin rejuvenation, stimulating collagen production and reducing signs of aging, according to Athenaeum Aesthetics. 

Hair Restoration

  • Hair loss is most often hereditary but can also occur as a result of hormonal changes, medical conditions and/or medications. Hair loss may seem like a more prevalent problem in men, but women are almost as likely to lose their hair or suffer thinning, receding hair.
  • On average, it is normal to lose fifty to one hundred hairs per day as the hair goes through its typical growth cycle. However, new hairs grow back to replace the lost hair as part of this growth cycle. Excessive hair loss occurs when hair is shed consistently, in larger amounts or is lost at a higher rate than the new growth. Other symptoms of excessive hair loss include a receding hairline, or bald and thinning patches.
  • Your hair can be a huge part of your identity and losing your locks can lower self-esteem and take its toll emotionally. Covering this loss with different hairstyles, hats or scarves is not always a practical or long-term solution and may even draw attention to the loss.  

PRP can be used to stimulate hair growth and revitalise hair follicles.
