ABOUT
PLATELET RICH PLASMA
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), is an effective and natural treatment that uses your own growth factors to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
Used for many years for the treatment of sports injuries, wound healing and joint pain, PRP is now widely used for skin rejuvenation.
The use of autologous growth factors makes it a safe option for reinvigorating the skin, as well as supporting a healthy hair journey.
Platelet rich Plasma and Fibrin (PRF) derived from your own blood can be applied via micro-injections via mesotherapy or microneedling, into the deep and superficial skin layers, triggering a tissue healing response - great for acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, texture irregularities and overral restoration of skin integrity.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Prior to procedure, we have a full consultation to discuss your suitability for treatment and desired outcome. The treatment starts by taking a blood sample, which is then spun in a centrifuge. This separates the components of blood, allowing the rich plasma to be easily extracted. This is then injected back into the treatment area.
Local anaesthetic is applied to minimise discomfort.
Depending on the area treated, downtime may be minimal. Swelling and bruising may occur, especially with treatment around the eye area.
Please allow up to 7 days for this to settle.
Best for:
Hair Rejuvenation
Under-Eye Restoration
Microneedling
The stimulation of collagen and elastin is an ongoing process.
For skin treatments, benefits may be seen as soon as a week after with improvement of texture and tone, however regeneration may take up to three months.
For hair rejuvenation, repeat treatments are advised, where it may take anywhere between 3-6 months to see the benefits.
For optimal results, a course of treatments is recommended. This will be discussed during consultation, however 3-6 treatments performed every 4-6 weeks is advised with ongoing maintenance treatments thereafter.
Pre & Post Care
For the best platelet sample, it is advised to stay well hydrated prior to your appointment, however avoid caffeinated drinks.
Unless prescribed, avoid anti-inflammatory medications at least five days before your procedure and any blood thinning herbs or supplements one week before your procedure.
For treatment of the hair, avoid using any hair products for at least 24 hours after. Do not use any hair products for at least 6 hours after your treatment. Avoid saunas, steam rooms, swimming for 2-3 days after your treatment.
Avoid using make-up for 1-3 days post treatment, touching the treated area and exfoliating/retinol based products for 3-5 days post treatment.
