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.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
What to expect
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.
Discomfort
Local anaesthetic is applied to minimise discomfort.
Downtime
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.
Treats
Best for:
Hair Rejuvenation
Under-Eye Restoration
Microneedling
Results
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.
Recommended Course
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
Preparing for your treatment
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.
After your treatment
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.
