Potential Treatment Considerations

 

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments use your own blood components. Depending on individual factors, PRP may be considered in the context of:

• Skin texture and tone concerns

• Fine lines

• Under-eye appearance

• Scarring or uneven skin texture

• Skin affected by ageing or sun exposure

• Hair thinning in targeted areas

Individual responses to treatment vary, and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

How it works
 

​PRP uses your body’s own platelets and plasma to interact with the skin. A small amount of your blood is collected and processed in a specialised centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich portion. This concentrated plasma is then administered into the skin or target area using micro-injections. The platelets contain proteins that may interact with surrounding tissues as part of normal biological processes.

Treatment Planning

 

Treatment plans are tailored to each individual. Depending on the area and desired clinical outcome, three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart are commonly recommended.
 

Maintaining general health can support your body’s response to treatment. This includes adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and minimising alcohol and caffeine intake. For clients seeking PRP for hair support, it is intended as part of a broader hair health program supervised by a GP, specialist, or qualified clinic. Individual progress will vary based on age, general health, baseline skin or hair condition, and the duration of previous concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

​

1. What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and how does it function?

​

PRP involves using a concentrated portion of your own blood to support natural repair processes. After blood is collected, platelets and growth factors are isolated and administered into the target areas via micro-injections. These factors are intended to interact with normal skin processes.

​

2. What does the clinical procedure involve?

​

The process begins with a small blood collection by registered clinical staff. The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical anaesthetic may be applied for comfort. The concentrated plasma is then administered into the target areas using fine needles. Sessions usually take 45–60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.

​

3. What should I expect regarding recovery and downtime?

​

PRP is generally well tolerated. Temporary redness, swelling, or mild tenderness similar to a sunburn sensation may occur and usually resolves within 24–48 hours. Minor bruising at injection points is possible but typically resolves quickly. You will be provided with aftercare instructions to support recovery.

​

4. How many sessions are recommended for a clinical outcome?

​

Individual requirements vary based on skin health and age. A standard protocol usually involves three to six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may be discussed with your healthcare professional to support ongoing skin health.
