Rejuvenate your skin and hair with a
PRP treatment at Man Cave Sydney
We offer RegenLab – recognised as the leading patented technology for Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (A-PRP). This treatment processes your own blood, concentrating the powerful growth factors of your own platelets to regenerate and rejuvenate the skin and stem cells. A high concentration of your blood platelets stimulates stem cells, increases production of collagen, nutrients and antioxidants. Treatment can also see an improvement in the appearance of your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and plump up areas that have lost volume over time.

- Rejuvenate skin in the face, eyes and neck

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: wrinkling and sagging
- Body: scarring from injury or burns, along with stretch marks
Are Treatment Results Immediate?
No. After the treatment, you will first experience some swelling. Once the swelling has subsided, typically in 24-48 hours, 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 healing 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 will determine the number of treatments that you will need. It is typically advisable to have 3 to 4 treatments, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. You can, of course, explore additional treatments in order to maintain your fresh and refreshed look.
How It Works
Step 1
Blood will be drawn by one of our cosmetic nurses or physicians. The number of tubes/vials collected will depend on the size of the treatment area. Typically, you need just one or two small tubes/vials. The blood is spun to isolate and concentrate the body’s natural and powerful regenerating growth factors.
Step 2
Most patients tolerate the injections very well without numbing creams. Your comfort is always our priority therefore we will apply a topical pain-relieving solution for facial PRP and for hair PRP we will inject a local anaesthetic to ring block the area being treated.
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 skin, filling lines and wrinkles, and aiding in scar healing, with visible results in as little as 3 weeks. PRP can even promote 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: wrinkling and sagging
- Body: scarring from injury or burns, along with stretch marks
