What is PRP?
PRP = Platelet Rich Plasma
- PRP skin treatments are a safe and popular option for addressing skin issues and signs of aging.
- PRP utilizes the healing power of your own blood and its growth factors to promote skin healing and regeneration.
- The treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
- PRP skin treatments can effectively address acne scars, sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines, discoloration, and hyperpigmentation.
- The treatments are completely safe, natural, and non-invasive, requiring no surgery.
- PRP offers an alternative to other cosmetic treatments for skin rejuvenation.
- The treatments are affordable and accessible to both men and women.
- Plasma is the liquid component of our blood which ‘holds’ all the cellular components such as red and white blood cells, as well as platelets.
- Platelets are a highly important cellular fragment normally found in the blood.
Science of PRP
- PRP works by recreating and stimulating the body's natural healing process. When tissue is injured, the body responds by sending specific ‘super healer’ cell types to the site of injury to start the repairing process and regeneration of new tissue. These ‘super healer’ cells are platelets.
The Technology
Cutting edge technology
- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is cutting edge in the field of cosmetic, non-surgical techniques. Although the procedure is relatively new in aesthetics medicine, PRP has been recognised as an effective treatment in surgery,
Before and After Your PRP Treatment: What to Expect
Pre-Treatment:
- PRP skin procedures typically take around 45 minutes.
- Prior to the treatment, it is advised to discontinue the use of medications that affect platelet function, including certain herbs and over-the-counter pain medications. Consult with your physician before making any changes to your medication regimen.
Post-Treatment Care:
- Following the procedure, be gentle with your skin. It may exhibit slight redness, tenderness, or bruising, and you may experience tingling or pressure at the injection sites. These effects are temporary.
- Using moisturizers containing natural ingredients can help replenish the skin's moisture barrier, promoting healing.
Results and Maintenance:
- Results may not be immediately noticeable as skin cells require time to develop. The full effects of PRP skin treatment typically become apparent within a few weeks or months.
- The benefits of PRP treatment can last for up to 18 months.
- It is recommended to undergo maintenance treatments to sustain the results over time.
How PRP Skin Treatments Work:
- The PRP skin treatment process is simple and typically lasts about 45 minutes.
- A small blood sample, similar to a blood test, is taken.
- The blood is then separated to obtain the desired plasma, which contains vital growth factors for skin regeneration and repair.
- Tiny PRP injections are administered under the eyes, followed by microneedling of the entire face using your own plasma.
- LED therapy may be offered as an option post-treatment to reduce inflammation and minimize the risk of infection.
- After the procedure is complete, which typically takes around 45 minutes, you can resume your daily activities.
Safety of PRP:
- Cosmetic PRP is considered a safe procedure with a low risk of complications. The treatment utilizes your own blood, eliminating the risk of disease transmission, allergic reactions, or immune responses. Most patients may experience minor effects such as subtle redness immediately after the procedure. The potential complications are usually limited to mild swelling or bruising, which typically subside within three to seven days. However, it's important to note that certain health conditions may make individuals ineligible for PRP treatment.
Pain Management:
- To ensure your comfort during the procedure, a local anesthetic cream or gel is applied to numb the skin. While the injection itself may cause slight discomfort due to the use of a fine needle, it is generally well-tolerated by patients. After the PRP injection, it is normal to experience a mild tenderness and warmth in the treated area for the first day as part of the expected inflammatory and healing response. It is crucial to follow post-procedure instructions, which include avoiding the use of ice, steroidal medications, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as Nurofen or Ibuprofen) for seven days, as these may interfere with the natural healing process.
