Unusual Uses for PRP Therapy
If you’ve wanted to rejuvenate your skin, restore your hair, or even enhance your sexual health, imagine a treatment that helps you accomplish these goals using your body’s own natural healing properties.
This may sound too good to be true, but it’s a reality for many men and women thanks to advances in medical technology.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting back into your body where it’s needed most.
The platelets release growth factors that stimulate healing and cell regeneration. It’s gained popularity in medicine and aesthetics, but you may not know about some of its more unusual uses.
Dr. Rawan Abu-Zeitoon and the team at Chrysolite Aesthetics in Houston, Texas, specialize in the latest PRP treatments, helping you achieve your aesthetic and wellness goals.
Whether you’re looking to enhance your natural beauty or address a specific health concern, we offer a personalized approach to help you look and feel your best.
Keep reading to learn about some unusual uses for PRP therapy and how this treatment might benefit you in unexpected ways.
PRP therapy for hair restoration
Losing your hair is distressing for both men and women. Traditional treatments usually involve medications with harsh chemicals and potential side effects or invasive surgeries.
PRP hair restoration offers a natural alternative using your body’s own platelets to stimulate new hair growth — without serious side effects!
Your Chrysolite Aesthetics provider injects the PRP solution into your scalp in areas where you’re experiencing thinning or balding. The growth factors in your platelets help stimulate the hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth and thickening existing hair.
PRP for hair loss is especially helpful if you’re experiencing early-stage hair loss, have been diagnosed with alopecia areata, which causes hair loss in specific areas, or are a woman with thinning hair after childbirth.
PRP therapy for vaginal rejuvenation
As women get older, vaginal changes can cause discomfort, decreased sensation, and even urinary incontinence. The good news is that safe and effective PRP therapy offers a nonsurgical option to address these issues — the O-shot®!
The PRP solution is injected into the targeted areas of your vagina to stimulate tissue regeneration and improve blood flow. This enhances lubrication, reducing pain and increasing sensation during sexual intercourse, and improving urinary control.
Women hoping to enhance sexual pleasure or reduce stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine during physical activities/movement), and women with vaginal dryness related to hormonal changes or menopause can especially benefit from this type of PRP therapy.
Dr. Abu-Zeitoon can also use PRP therapy combined with a filler made from all-natural hyaluronic acid to improve the appearance of your labia (vaginal “wings”). This treatment, called a Vampire Wing Lift®, restores the external appearance and shape of your vagina.
PRP therapy for breast enhancement
If you’re looking to enhance your breasts but want a natural alternative to implants or other invasive surgeries, the PRP-based Vampire Breast Lift® might be the perfect solution.
Your Chrysolite Aesthetics provider assesses your breasts, then injects the PRP solution into specific areas of the breast to stimulate tissue regeneration.
As a result, the shape and volume of your breasts improve.You may also experience enhanced nipple stimulation and a reduction in the appearance of stretch marks.
Talk to Dr. Abu-Zeitoon about a Vampire Breast Lift if you:
- Have uneven or misshapen breasts
- Want to improve breast sensitivity
- Hope to minimize stretch marks or scarring
- Seek to enhance the appearance of your cleavage
It takes about 4-6 weeks to achieve the complete effects of treatment, which can last 1-2 years.
PRP therapy for better skin
For those who want to improve the look and health of their skin, PRP therapy offers a natural alternative. Known as a Vampire Facial®, this treatment uses your body’s platelets and healing properties to give you a youthful, radiant glow.
Dr. Abu-Zeitoon combines PRP injections with a technique called microneedling, which uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in your skin.
These channels allow the PRP solution to penetrate deeper into your skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production and promoting skin regeneration.
After a Vampire Facial at Chrysolite Aesthetics, you’ll enjoy:
- Less noticeable sun damage and photoaging
- Improved scars or texture issues
- Smoother, firmer skin
- Fewer pigmentation problems
- Minimized lines and wrinkles
Plus, the increased collagen and elastin production triggered by the Vampire Facial helps your body keep making more of these proteins, so you get to enjoy your results longer.
