What is Platelet-Rich Plasma?

PRP therapy is a relatively recent technology that uses ingredients from your own blood to rejuvenate your skin or hair. These ingredients reside within the fraction of your blood named “platelet-rich plasma.” PRP is enriched with platelets, stem cells and growth factors, which are critical architects of healing within the body. Returning them to the body in a highly concentrated form helps to initiate natural processes of regeneration, such as collagen synthesis and hair growth.

Because the treatment is autologous, meaning derived from your own body, there is no danger of disease transmission, allergic reaction or rejection that can be associated with treatments utilizing foreign materials. It is YOUR body, YOUR blood and YOUR plasma.

How is PRP Obtained?

PRP is obtained through a simple blood draw, no different from taking a standard blood test. Ten minutes prior to your PRP treatment, our cosmetic physician will draw ten to twenty milliliters of your blood so it can be separated into its core components. This is done through a process of centrifugation.

A special machine called a centrifuge spins the blood at high speeds to separate it into its constituent layers. One of these layers is the platelet-rich plasma, which is then placed into syringes and injected below the surface of the skin in the area needing regeneration.

PRP for Facial Rejuvenation

PRP therapy optimises skin health from within. When administered, the growth factors stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin, revitalising the skin’s structure and resilience. PRP also encourages blood flow, promotes cellular regeneration and supports the repair of damaged tissues.

Benefits of PRP Skin Treatments

  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improvements in skin texture
  • Increased skin elasticity
  • Improved complexion radiance
  • More even skin tone
  • Visibly smaller pores
  • Increased collagen and elastin production
  • Diminished acne scars
  • Full-face rejuvenation

Procedure

A single PRP treatment takes approximately 30 minutes. The PRP is created via blood draw and centrifugation. Then, the concentrated elixir is introduced to the skin through microneedling or delicate injections, allowing the rich array of growth factors to permeate the skin’s layers. Once the growth factors reach the correct depth within your skin, they will accelerate the normal healing process via new collagen and elastin formation in the injected area.

Recovery

PRP treatments involve minimal discomfort or downtime. You can go straight back to work following a session, but be prepared for some swelling, redness and bruising. These are a result of the activation of the cells caused by the injected platelets, and they can last up to a week in some patients. Proper hydration and sun protection are advised during this period.

Results

PRP acts as a ‘bioactive’ stimulator, not a dermal filler. The benefits of the treatment manifest over the weeks and months that follow the injections. As collagen and elastin production increase, gradual improvements in skin thickness and appearance become apparent. Visible results may be seen after one treatment session; however, many patients benefit from a series of treatments to unveil the full spectrum of beauty within their skin.

PRP for Hair Restoration

PRP therapy combines advanced biomedical science with intrinsic healing properties to address the underlying causes of hair thinning and hair loss. By injecting growth factors into the scalp, this procedure aims to revive dormant hair follicles and support the growth of denser, more robust hair strands.

Benefits of PRP Hair Treatments

  • Enhanced hair growth
  • Increased hair density and diameter
  • Improvements in health and strength of hair strands
  • Decrease in hair shedding
  • Hair growth matches your hair pattern
  • Natural-looking results

Procedure

The PRP hair restoration procedure lasts approximately 60 minutes. Following the gentle extraction of blood and centrifugation to separate the blood into its components, the PRP is strategically injected into thinning areas of the scalp, targeting the hair follicles that need revitalization. The growth factors within the PRP encourage the hair follicles to enter the anagen (growth) phase and promote the growth of thicker, healthier hair strands.

Recovery

Recovery from a PRP hair restoration treatment involves minimal discomfort and a swift return to daily activities. Immediately following the procedure, you may experience mild tenderness, swelling or redness at the injection sites. These typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. Gentle care of your scalp and hair is recommended to maximize the effects of the PRP.

Results

PRP therapy is a non-surgical option for male and female patients experiencing hair loss. The results of the treatment unfold over the weeks following injection, gradually revealing improvements in hair density, thickness and overall health. For optimal results, patients might require multiple sessions and ongoing maintenance treatments, along with complementary therapies and lifestyle modifications.
