PRP for Skin Rejuvenation
What Can PRP Treat?
PRP is an effective choice in treatment for several areas of your face and body, including the following:
- Face:fine lines, dark circles under the eyes, acne scarring, skin texture, skin tone and neck hydration
- Neck & Décolletage:wrinkling and sagging
- Body:scarring from injury or burns, along with stretch marks
- Hair:stimulating hair growth
Are Treatment Results Immediate?
No. After the treatment, you will experience some swelling. Once the swelling has subsided, you will not see much difference right away. Over the course of a few weeks, the platelets will stimulate the growth factors which will lead to the stimulating collagen growth. Results are typically best visible between three and six weeks, with continual improvement seen over the next 6 months.
Results will also depend on your overall health. Smoking, alcohol consumption and a poor diet can have an impact on your results. Stop smoking, limit alcohol and ensure you are eating healthy and staying hydrated.
How Many Treatments Will Be Needed?
The health and the age of your skin and hair will determine the number of treatments that you will need. It is typically advisable to have 3 to 6 treatments, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. You can, of course, explore additional treatments in order to maintain your fresh and rejuvenated look.
How it works
Step 1
Blood will be drawn by a member of our team. The number of tubes collected will depend on the size of the treatment area. Typically, you need just one or two small tubes. The blood is spun to isolate and concentrate the body’s natural and powerful regenerating growth factors.
Step 2
Your comfort is always our priority. We apply topical numbing cream for all PRP skin treatments and apply a local anaesthetic ring block for all hair thinning/regrowth PRP treatments.
Step 3
The PRP injection triggers the body’s own healing mechanism.
Step 4
The cells in the targeted area are revitalised and rejuvenated. This serves the goal of improving the skins texture and appearance, filling lines and wrinkles and aiding in scar healing, with visible results in as little as 3 weeks. PRP also stimulates hair growth in patients with thinning hair or alopecia with results in 2 months.
PRP Injections for Skin Rejuvenation
PRP rejuvenates skin by stimulating the patient’s body to increase the production of collagen and elastin to improve skin appearance, tone and texture, contributing to treating the following with visible results in 3-6 weeks.
- Face:fine lines, dark circles under the eyes, acne scarring, skin texture, skin tone and neck hydration
- Neck & Décolletage:wrinkling and sagging
- Body:scarring from injury or burns, along with stretch marks
PRP Treatment Sydney FAQ
What can be expected after treatment?
Expect to see a youthful boost. The treatment will tighten your skin and leave a fresh glow on your skin. The fine lines and wrinkles on your face will be less noticeable. Dark circles under your eyes will look less severe. Scars, whether from injury or acne, will fade.
Is this therapy better for men or women?
This treatment is equally effective for both men and women. Anyone who can benefit from a refreshed look can benefit from PRP therapy.
What should I do to prepare before treatment?
PRP therapy is non-invasive and non-surgical. There are, however, still some steps that you need to take in order to ensure that you get the best results from the treatment. Provide us with a complete list of any medications that you take, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medications and herbal supplements. You should avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications and steroids for 3-4 days before and after the procedure.
Is PRP treatment painful?
Every person has his or her own threshold for pain tolerance. A topical anaesthesia can be applied if you are concerned about pain. PRP typically uses very small needles.
Will my body reject the PRP injections?
There is almost no chance of rejection of the platelet-rich plasma. Your body is not likely to reject its own blood.
Am I a good candidate for PRP treatment?
The ideal candidate for PRP treatment is any adult looking for a natural, non-medicinal and non-surgical approach to healing. You should be in good general health.
Who is not a good candidate for PRP treatment?
There are some medical conditions that may exclude you from qualifying as a good candidate for this treatment. Anaemia, low platelet counts, an infection or active cancer may not be suitable for this procedure. Those who are taking blood thinning medications should speak with their prescribing doctor for further guidance.
Are there any side-effects of PRP treatment?
PRP therapy is a safe and natural treatment. Treatment concentrates the healing factors in your own blood. The blood is injected directly into the area that is being targeted for healing. This ensures that there are no risks for rejection from your immune system. There are also no risks of infection or allergy. There may be some mild redness or bruising after treatment. Mild headaches are also a possibility, but they typically respond well to over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does PRP treatment take?
PRP therapy takes around 45 minutes to be completed, however allowing 1 hour will include time to discuss your needs in detail with your practitioner. PRP is best to be booked at the end of the day or on a day off, when you can head straight home afterwards.
Are there any precautions to take after treatment?
There is minimal downtime needed after this non-invasive treatment, however each individual responds differently and often experiences some swelling within the first 24 hours. It is advisable to avoid spending time in the direct sun for at least 24 hours after your treatment as well as avoiding high intensity exercise post treatment. You will also be advised to avoid touching or washing your face for 6 hours after having the procedure. After 6 hours, you can use a mild soap and warm water.
