  • Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP, is a serum of concentrated platelets from your own blood. This PRP contains growth factors that stimulate healing and regeneration of bone and soft tissue. At Nuvo You, we perform PRP injections for hair regeneration, facialand skin rejuvenation, and certain joint problems.
    The duration of the procedure depends on the specific areas we are injecting but can range from 15 minutes to an hour after the PRP is synthesized. We create the PRP by drawing 30-60cc of your blood and concentrating these growth factors down. Typically, 2 or 3 treatments are required before seeing results, and results take several weeks to appear. The injections are usually followed by a period of inflammation, which is normal as this means the growth factors are taking effect.

    I, the receiver of this treatment, understand that this is a procedure with proven results, but not FDA-approved. I understand that some insurance companies have determined PRP procedures to be experimental.

  • BENEFITS of PRP: PRP may have beneficial effects for hair regeneration, facial
    aesthetics, or for joint regeneration. PRP is autologous (using your own blood) therefore eliminating allergy potential. PRP has been shown to have tissue regenerating effects. Other benefits include: minimal down time, safe with minimal risk, short recovery time, and no general anesthesia is required.

    CONTRAINDICATIONS: PRP used for aesthetic procedures is safe for most individuals between the ages of 25-80. There are very few contraindications, however, patients with the following conditions are not candidates:
    1) Acute and Chronic Infections
    2) Skin diseases (i.e. SLE, porphyria, allergies)
    3) Cancer 3) Chemotherapy
    4) Severe metabolic and systemic disorders
    5) Abnormal platelet function (blood disorders, i.e. Haemodynamic Instability,
    Hypofibrinogenaemia, Critical Thrombocytopenia)
    6) Chronic Liver Pathology
    7) Anti-coagulation therapy
    8) Underlying Sepsis
    9) Systemic use of corticosteroids within two weeks of the procedure
    10) Pregnant or breastfeeding

    4. Allergic reaction to the solution, an/or topical anesthetic
    5. Injury to a nerve and/or muscle as with any type of injection
    6. Itching and swelling at the injection site(s)
    7. Minimal or no effect from the treatment
    8. Dizziness or fainting during the procedure

    ALTERNATIVES to PRP: Alternatives to PRP elective procedures are:

  • I acknowledge that the following is a risk of Scalp PRP:
    • No effect at all
    • Worsening Hair Loss
    • Severe headache
    • Injection site Infection / hematoma
    • Swelling that may extend into tissue around the eyes (may last several days)

    RESULTS: I understand that due to the natural variation in quality of Platelet Rich Plasma, results will vary between individuals. I understand that although I may see a change after my first treatment; I may require multiple sessions to obtain my desired outcome. It is recommended that once treatment goals are accomplished, an annual PRP procedure is likely necessary to maintain results.
