Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an exciting non-surgical therapeutic option for patients who require stimulation of hair growth for hair loss conditions.
Recent scientific research and technology recognize PRP as an all-natural medical procedure that uses a patient’s own cells and is performed in physician offices for scalp, skin, and hair stimulation.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a treatment that uses a drug, called a photosensitizer, and a particular kind of light. The photosensitizer, 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), is applied to the skin and allowed to incubate for duration of 1-3 hours. Once the skin has properly absorbed the agent, the patient is exposed to a therapeutic light source of a particular wavelength with a blue hue. For this reason, the treatment is also called Blue Light therapy.
When the area to be treated is exposed to the light, precancerous and cancerous cells are destroyed. PDT is used for many different dermatologic conditions including actinic …

Acne
Most of us believe that acne is a disorder that affects only teenagers. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Once a regimen has been chosen, it’s important to note that treating acne is more like a marathon instead of a sprint.
