Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy in Chicago, IL

At Refine by Tulsi, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for both skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. PRP harnesses your body’s natural healing properties by using your own blood’s concentrated platelets to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote hair growth. This non-surgical, natural treatment offers long-lasting results for healthier skin and thicker hair.

What is PRP Therapy?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy involves taking a small sample of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting it back into the areas of concern. The platelets in your blood are rich in growth factors, which stimulate tissue regeneration, collagen production, and hair follicle growth.

At Refine by Tulsi, we use PRP therapy for:

  • Skin rejuvenation: To reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and improve overall skin texture.
  • Hair restoration: To treat hair thinning and stimulate new hair growth for individuals experiencing hair loss.
  • Other uses: PRP is also beneficial when combined with treatments like microneedling to enhance overall skin results.

Who is a Good Candidate for PRP Therapy?

You may be a good candidate for PRP therapy if you:

  • Want to rejuvenate your skin naturally and improve texture, fine lines, or scarring.
  • Are experiencing thinning hair or early-stage hair loss and want a non-surgical solution.
  • Prefer using your body’s own regenerative abilities to improve skin or hair health.
  • Want to enhance the results of microneedling or laser treatments.

PRP is suitable for most skin types and hair conditions, making it an excellent option for those seeking natural, non-invasive treatments.

How is PRP Therapy Performed?

At Refine by Tulsi, the PRP treatment process is simple and minimally invasive:

  1. Blood Draw: A small sample of your blood is drawn from your arm.
  2. Centrifuge Process: The blood is processed in a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelets.
  3. Injection Process: The PRP is then injected into the treatment areas, whether it’s the skin for rejuvenation or the scalp for hair restoration.

 

For skin rejuvenation, PRP can also be combined with microneedling to amplify collagen production and improve texture. For hair restoration, PRP is injected into the scalp to target areas of thinning and stimulate hair regrowth.

PRP for Skin Rejuvenation

PRP therapy for skin works by stimulating your skin’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin. This treatment is particularly effective for:

  • Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
  • Minimizing the appearance of acne scars
  • Improving skin texture and tone
  • Promoting a more youthful, radiant complexion

PRP for skin rejuvenation is often referred to as the “vampire facial” and can be combined with microneedling for even more enhanced results.

PRP for Hair Restoration

For those struggling with thinning hair or early-stage hair loss, PRP therapy can rejuvenate hair follicles and stimulate new growth. The growth factors in PRP promote healthier, thicker hair, making it an excellent solution for those looking for a natural way to address hair loss.

PRP for hair restoration is ideal for:

  • Male and female pattern baldness
  • Thinning hair due to genetics or hormonal changes
  • Individuals looking for a non-surgical alternative to hair transplants

Most patients see improvements in hair density and quality within 3-4 months of treatment.

Yes! PRP therapy can be combined with treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, or laser treatments to enhance results for both skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.

Injection treatment begins with a brief blood draw that takes less than a minute. The second step of centrifugation takes a few minutes, during which topical numbing medication sits on the scalp. The injection aspect of treatment is meticulous – injections are positioned every half-inch across the area of thinning. As precise as this step is, it usually takes less than thirty minutes from start to finish.

To prepare the platelet-rich plasma, our expert technicians draw a small quantity of blood. The blood sample is processed in a centrifuge device that rotates, separating the platelets and concentrating them in the plasma. It takes around 20 minutes for this process. Once processed, the PRP is ready to be injected into any body part that requires regeneration.

Consistency is crucial to obtain satisfactory results from PRP hair restoration. Treatments are typically scheduled monthly for a few months. Patients can expect to begin noticing improvement within two to three months. After the initial series of treatments, injections are repeated every three to six months depending on individual response and results.

The initial effect that patients may notice after treatment is that they shed fewer hairs. Over time, they can expect to see an increase in thickness and length.
