Platelet-Rich Plasma

Platelet-Rich Plasma is the liquid gold in the Aesthetic and Musculaskeletal world. PRP is a blood derivative processed from the client’s own blood. The Platelets are rich in proteins called growth factors. When the Platelets are injected into he tissue, these growth factors and stimulating factors are central to the body’s ability to heal and repair. The immediate release of these proteins also stimulate and encourage the formation of blood clots, which are known to protect wounds.
The benefits of PRP for skin tissue rejuvenation may include, an increase in collagen, extra cellular matrix reorganisation (ECM) and angiogenesis. With this, it may improve skin texture and tone. This procedure is continuing to increase in popularity with clients as it is autologous, natural stimulation of skin regeneration and a quick / simple procedure. The concept of PRP began in the 1970s and has been used in musculoskeletal and reconstructive medicine treatments since 1972. PRP is still relatively new in the Aesthetic world, over the past decade PRP has increased dramatically with use to improve facial aesthetics.

Questions

Are the results immediate?
Over the next few weeks post your treatment, the platelets with stimulate the growth factors which will help to assist in more collagen growth, elastin and new blood supply to the area. Generally showing results from 4 – 6 weeks. Individual results may vary.
How many treatments?
This will depend on the patients health, age and quality of their skin. Normally it is advised to have 2-3 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart.
How long do results last for?
There is ongoing improvement to the treated skin for up to 12 months after each treatment. This is depending on the rate to how the clients collagen grows. It is suggested to have a follow-up treatment at 12 months but PRP will generally heal and renew the skin, taking years off the treated area, allowing the natural aging phase to occur from the renewed archived skin structure.
What are the expectations for PRP?
  • Increased hydration may be visible at 2-3 weeks and improve gradually over ensuing months with improvement to texture and tone.
  • Combining modalities can enhance results in some patients.
  • Advanced wrinkling can not be reversed and a minimal improvement is predictable for people with excessive alcohol and tobacco use.
  • Improvement in scarring and acne scars but severe / life long scars possibly may not respond.
  • Improvement in hair thinning, if treated prior to complete hair loss.
