PRP
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is a natural, minimally invasive solution for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. By using growth factors from your own blood, PRP promotes collagen production, tissue repair, and natural hair growth, making it an effective option for those seeking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, or address thinning hair. PRP is safe for most skin types and requires minimal downtime, providing gradual, noticeable results that enhance over time. PRP combined with microneedling supports collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation. Individual results may vary.
Please consult with your primary care physician prior to receiving wellness services at Farmacia to ensure medical clearance.
