About prp therapy
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, uses a patient’s own blood components and growth factors as part of a regenerative treatment approach. Dr. Koffman offers PRP in the context of skin rejuvenation and hair regeneration, with recommendations tailored to the individual.
PRP may appeal to patients looking for a treatment that uses their own blood components as part of a skin or hair-regeneration plan. The consultation focuses on the concern being treated, the condition of the skin or hair, and realistic expectations for gradual change.
