Imago Medical specializes in PRP treatments in the Salt Lake City area. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is performed by taking your own blood, spinning it to remove the plasma and platelets, to be re-injected into the needed areas. These blood components contain cytokines and other growth factor proteins that promote healing and repair of skin and hair.
In addition, by adding your fibrinogen from the plasma (PRF), and heating and cooling the PRF into a gel, we are able to make a safe natural facial filler from your own blood components for risk free restoration of volume to key areas of the face. Results like filler without any foreign substances.
