Hair Restoration With PRP
PRP hair loss treatment is the latest advancement in non-surgical hair restoration. One reason behind continuously increasing demand for PRP treatment is its ability to deliver long-lasting results – lasting for up to 2 years. But like any other cosmetic procedure, to get the most out of your PRP hair loss treatment, you have to prepare well for the procedure as well as take very good care of your scalp after the treatment.
PRP is a procedure that uses your own blood to repair your cells. It has proven its effectiveness at addressing aesthetic problems. Since your own blood has amazing healing properties, this treatment has revolutionized the reversal of skin aging and damage.
FAQ's

The process is no more painful than a shot.
The cost of the process will vary from patient to patient. It may be more of less depending on how many treatments are required.
