How does PRP work?
Dr. Turban would take your blood and spin it in a special device to prepare platelet-rich plasma at the point of care. The platelet-rich plasma is a concentrate of platelets that are rich in multiple growth factors that stimulate your own fibroblasts to produce collagen for skin rejuvenation. PRP stimulates hair follicles promoting new hair growth as well as increasing the sickness of the shafts of all existing hairs.
