Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).
Our blood consists of a liquid component known as plasma. It also consists of three main solid components which include the red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. Platelets play an important role in forming blood clots. They also consist of special proteins, known as growth factors, which help with our body’s healing process. Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is a high concentration of platelets and plasma. A normal blood specimen contains only 6% platelets, while platelet-rich plasma contains 94% of platelets and 5 to 10 times the concentration of growth factors found in normal blood, thus greater healing properties.
PRP Skin Rejuvenation is an innovative skin treatment that has been scientifically proven to refresh, tone and tighten the skin by repairing the elasticity, colour and quality of the skin. It uses your body’s own rejuvenating properties to initiate a local stem cell response, which helps build new collagen, elastin and blood vessels. This process helps to repair and regenerate damaged skin for a healthier and more refreshed appearance with minimal downtime. Benefits include: improving the overall health, tone & elasticity of your skin, Reducing shallow wrinkles and fine lines, Reducing dark circles under your eyes, Minimising the appearance of scars, Minimising the visible signs of aged & sun damaged skin and accelerating hair regrowth for those who are suffering from thinning hair.
How does the treatment work?
Our highly trained registered nurse begins the PRP treatment by taking the client’s blood and placing it in a specialised centrifuge device. From here, we extract the most nutrient rich properties, the use specialised techniques to place these natural substances back into the skin or scalp.
How many treatments will I need?
SKIN
Depending on the size of the area, along with the desired results, we recommend three to six treatments at four to six weekly intervals.
As with normal medical guidelines, a healthy diet, minimal caffeine and alcohol and adequate sleep will allow your body the best chance for a good outcome. We also recommend following our pre and post treatment guidelines.
HAIR LOSS
For clients treating hair loss, please be aware that the PRP application is not a “quick fix” and is meant to be used as part of a comprehensive hair rejuvenation program supervised by your GP, specialist or dedicated cosmetic / hair clinic. We recommend six treatments at two weekly intervals. Individual patients will progress at different rates depending on their age, general health, baseline condition of your skin and hair and the period since the hair loss first occurred.
