The Latest Advancement in Platelet Rich Plasma: Painless Injections

Since we opened Medi Tresse in 2015, we have prided ourselves on not only being leaders in our field, but being innovators as well. This led us to the creation of Optimal Platelet Concentration (OPC) Therapy in 2019, which is one of the only truly customized PRP therapy treatments available. We are now excited to have the capability to inject the PRP treatment into the scalp in a completely painless fashion utilizing a technology that was developed by rocket scientists. This offering is currently only available at our Wellesley, MA location, we are hoping to offer this at all locations in the coming months.

Our new device not only injects the PRP solution painlessly, but without needles by utilizing pressurized oxygen and a process known as hydroporation in a three step process.

1. Pressurized oxygen accelerates the PRP solution and breaks down the liquid into micro droplets.
2. The powerful jet stream of micro-droplets stretches the skin at the point of contact creating tiny microchannels in the skin.
3. These tiny microchannels in the skin allow for delivery of the PRP down to the dermis level, where the follicle sits.

One of the best parts of the treatment, is before we administer the treatment, we will exfoliate and cleanse the scalp with a proprietary detox water. This is not only a soothing and relaxing part of the treatment, but a healthy scalp is key to healthy hair.

While normal PRP treatments are very well tolerated by most patients, this new delivery system is a great option for patients that may be scared of needles or concerned about any pain from PRP injections. When utilizing this new delivery system, the treatment course still requires one treatment a month for three months followed by a booster treatment every six to twelve months.

Keep an eye out for some videos of this new delivery system in the coming weeks.
