Talk to your Health Care Provider (HCP) for a proper diagnosis and to create a treatment plan.
If you have any of the following conditions you may not be a good candidate
Acute or Chronic infections, Skin diseases (SLE, porphyria,contact dermatitis), Cancer, Chemotherapy, Severe metabolic and systemic disorders, Abnormal platelet function (blood disorders,hemodynamic instability; hypofibrinogenemia,critical thrombocytopenia), Chronic liver disease, Anti-coagulation therapy, Underlying sepsis, Systemic use of corticosteroids within two weeks of the procedure
Treatments vary based on your needs. Initially, your HCP may recommend several treatments spaced one month apart. After the initial treatments many HCP suggest maintenance treatments 2-3 times per year.
For optimal results:
* Skin and under eye area with 3 treatments completed 30 days apart.
* Alopecia (hair loss for men and women) 4 treatments 30 days apart
* Joint injections: 3 treatments in 2-4 week intervals (individualized)
No, a single treatment doesn't take more than 30-45 mins.
There is no downtime or long recovery process. You may take a warm shower the evening of the treatment. It is advised that you avoid direct sunlight, hot saunas, make-up, harsh dyes or chemicals on your hair.
Due to the natural variation in quality of Platelet Rich Plasma, results will vary between individuals. Although you may see a change after the first treatments, you will likely require a series of 3-6 sessions to obtain optimal clinical results and desired outcomes
For optimal results:
* Skin and under eye area with 3 treatments completed 30 days apart.
* Alopecia (hair loss for men and women) 4 treatments 30 days apart
* Joint injections: 3 treatments in 2-4 week intervals (individualized)
Because the plasma is made of your own platelets, there is usually no adverse reaction. There is a possibility of irritation, pain or bleeding related to the injection site but most people resume normal activities almost immediately after treatment.
