PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It's a treatment that uses a part of your own blood to help with healing and regeneration in different areas of the body, like the scalp (for hair growth) or the skin (for skin rejuvenation).

For hair loss, PRP is used to stimulate the hair follicles (the part of your skin where hair grows). The growth factors in the platelets help to boost hair growth by encouraging the dormant hair follicles to become active again. It also improves blood flow to the scalp, which nourishes the hair follicles and may make your hair grow thicker and stronger.

You usually need a few sessions to see the full effects, and results may start showing a few weeks after the treatment.

PRP uses your own blood, it’s considered a natural treatment, which reduces the risk of side effects compared to treatments that use chemicals or synthetic substances.

Vaginal discharge is a normal part of how the body keeps itself clean and healthy. Most women experience daily discharge that can change in texture and amount throughout their menstrual cycle, during pregnancy or when using birth control. Normal discharge is usually clear, white or slightly yellow when dry. It may be thin or slightly stringy and should not have a strong odor or cause discomfort.

It’s time to check in with a healthcare provider if your discharge:

• Comes with itching, burning or irritation

• Has a strong, foul or fishy smell

• Is yellow-green, gray. or cottage cheese-like in texture

• Is accompanied by pelvic pain, bleeding after intercourse or pain when urinating

• Suddenly changes in amount, colour or consistency for no clear reason

If you’re unsure whether your discharge is normal or if you’re experiencing discomfort, please contact us to book an appointment. A exam and a lab test can help us determine the cause and get you the appropriate treatment if needed.
