PRP: The Grandfather of Regenerative Medicine

PRP at Berts Apothecary

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is often called the grandfather of regenerative medicine—a pioneering treatment that laid the foundation for today’s most advanced natural therapies. By using your own blood’s platelets, PRP taps into the body’s innate ability to repair, restore, and rejuvenate.

When PRP is introduced into targeted areas, it delivers a concentrated dose of growth factors that stimulate cellular repair, collagen production, and tissue regeneration. The result? A smoother, healthier, more radiant appearance that comes from within.

How PRP Can Help You
  • Hair Loss & Thinning: PRP is widely used to stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve scalp circulation, and encourage natural hair regrowth. It’s a safe, non-surgical option for those experiencing thinning or early hair loss.
  • Dark Circles & Under-Eye Rejuvenation: PRP can improve skin quality under the eyes by boosting collagen and circulation, reducing the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines.
  • Skin Imperfections: From acne scars to uneven texture, PRP promotes collagen production and tissue repair, helping to smooth over imperfections and restore a radiant, youthful glow.
The Role of Your Health

The effectiveness of PRP is closely tied to your overall wellness. A body nourished with good nutrition, regular movement, hydration, and restorative sleep produces richer, more potent plasma. In other words, the healthier you are, the more powerful your PRP becomes—helping to stimulate growth, enhance healing, and smooth over imperfections more effectively.

Growth Factors in Platelets
Platelets are packed with bioactive proteins that drive regeneration. Some of the most important include:
  • Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF): Stimulates cell growth and tissue repair
  • Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β): Promotes collagen production and wound healing
  • Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): Encourages new blood vessel formation for better circulation
  • Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): Supports skin cell regeneration and elasticity
  • Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF): Aids in tissue growth and repair
  • Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF): Stimulates fibroblasts, key for skin structure and healing
