PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma 

PRP is harvested from your own blood cells (platelets). These cells are concentrated to give higher amounts of growth factors. The suspension is reapplied to areas of concern, including facial, & scalp tissue. This stimulates collagen production & growth of target tissue.

What does PRP treat?

PRP has the potential to address the following conditions:

–       Reduction in wrinkles & lines such as crow¡¯s feet, lip lines & smile lines

–       Improvement of under eye volume loss, skin laxity & dark circles

–       Loss of elasticity & sagging skin on the face & neck

–       Improvement in skin tone, complexion & texture

–       Rejuvenation of the neck & dšŠcolletage

–       Improvements in photoaged hands

What does PRP treatment involve?

The process of administering PRP is relatively straightforward and typically involves the following steps:

1. Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient¡¯s arm using a sterile technique.
2. Centrifugation: The collected blood sample is placed in a specialised centrifuge, where it undergoes a process of separation. During centrifugation, the blood separates into distinct layers, with the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) forming a concentrated layer.
3. PRP Preparation: The PRP layer is carefully extracted and may be combined with additional substances, such as vitamins or growth factors, depending on the specific treatment protocol.
4. Topical Application or Injection: The prepared PRP serum is then either applied topically with microneedling to the desired treatment areas or injected into the skin using a fine needle.
5. Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically subsides within a few days. Proper aftercare instructions are provided to ensure optimal healing and results.

How many sessions do I need?

3-4 treatments are recommended, 4 weeks apart. Followed by maintenance treatments every 3 to 6 months.

Treatment results vary depending on your body¡¯s metabolism.

How long does it take to see results?

On average, it takes about 2 šC 3 weeks after microneedling for patients to see visible improvements in their skin. After 4 šC 6 weeks, a marked improvement should be able to be seen. However, this depends largely on an individual patient¡¯s skin condition and the severity of his or her complaints.

Initial improvements may be visible within the first 3 months, with further progress over 6 months.

What is the downtime for PRP?

Patients can usually resume normal activities soon after treatment.

After the procedure the treated area can be tender and swollen. This may last a few hours to a few days
