PuraPlas Platelet-Rich Plasma System
PuraPlas platelet-rich plasma is a proactive, therapeutic, hair-rejuvenation system designed to treat classic signs of hair loss.
Supported by Science!
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) hair therapy is a non-surgical treatment option that has been scientifically proven to stimulate hair growth, strengthen the hair follicles and prolong the growth phase in the hair cycle.
How Hair Restoration Therapy Works
The PuraPlas system uses your own blood to isolate plasma, where a concentrate of nutrients and platelets reside. Platelets are cells that naturally assist your body in healing and generating new tissue. Platelets also contain Growth Factors, which are involved in stem cell migration, and ultimately activate, rejuvenate and regenerate cells throughout the body.
By isolating the platelet-rich portion of your blood and injecting it back into target regions, you are able to fight the signs of lost or thinning hair using your body's natural biology.
Process and Recovery
-
A small amount of blood is collected
-
The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the different components
-
Once the blood is separated the plasma (PRP) is extracted from the tube
-
PRP is then injected into areas of thinning hair throughout your scalp.
You may experience some mild redness and tenderness to the treatment area that usually subsides within 24 hours. Rarely mild bruising may occur.
