PRP injections is a treatment that uses the patient own Platelet rich plasma to help to promote cell regrowth and healing. You can find Platelet in the blood. Blood is formed with four primary components: Platelets, red blood cell, white blood cell and plasma. Platelet Rich Plasm (PRP) injection is a form of medicine, that can accelerate growth in the area treated. PRP injections has been used for years to treat musculoskeletal, skin conditions, and recently to treat hair loss and hair thinning. At Scarless Medspa™ Dr. Deepak Dugar uses PRP injections to help patients experiencing hair loss and thinning.

First blood is drawn from patient’s arm, then it is placed in a centrifuge machine to separate the blood in three parts: platelet-poor plasma platelet-rich plasma red blood cells.
The platelets rich plasmas are injected into areas of the scalp that the patient is experience hair thinning or hair loss. Platelet rich plasma promotes cell regeneration and growth.
