Platelet-rich Plasma(PRP)

Are you struggling with hair loss? Or are you wanting to kickstart your collagen production?

A PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) facial, commonly known as a "vampire facial," is a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment that utilises the natural healing and regenerative properties of your own blood.

What to expect during your Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a revolutionary procedure that harnesses your body's natural healing abilities to enhance your beauty. With this non-surgical approach, a small amount of your blood is processed to extract concentrated PRP. This sample is then strategically applied to rejuvenate your skin or stimulate hair growth to improve hair loss.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment offers numerous benefits for skin rejuvenation and overall aesthetic improvement. Here are some of the reasons we love a PRP treatment for skin rejuvenation or hair loss.

  1. Natural Rejuvenation - Utilises your body's own healing properties to rejuvenate the skin, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.

  2. Collagen Production - Stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness.

  3. Improved Skin Texture - Enhances overall skin texture, making it smoother and more even.

  4. Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles - Minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful look.

  5. Enhanced Skin Tone - Evens out skin tone, reducing the appearance of pigmentation, age spots, and sun damage.

  6. Reduced Scarring - Helps to diminish the appearance of scars, including acne scars.

  7. Minimised Pores - Reduces the size of large pores, resulting in a more refined complexion.

  8. Accelerated Healing - Promotes faster healing of skin injuries and conditions.

  9. Hair Growth - Can stimulate hair growth when applied to the scalp, benefiting those with thinning hair or hair loss.

  10. Minimally Invasive – The procedure is minimally invasive, involving only small injections or topical application, leading to a quicker recovery time.

  11. Long-Lasting Results - Provides long-lasting results as the skin continues to improve over time with new collagen and tissue growth.

  12. Versatility - Can be used in conjunction with other treatments like Microeedling or laser therapy for enhanced results.

    -Full face of skin needling + PRP - $700

  • -Initial Results (0-3 months): In the first few weeks to months after PRP treatment, some individuals may notice a reduction in hair shedding. This is often one of the earliest signs that the treatment is working. Your hair may also appear slightly thicker and healthier.

    -Early Growth Phase (3-6 months): During this phase, you may begin to see small, fine hairs (vellus hairs) starting to grow in the treated areas. These hairs will continue to thicken and become more visible with time.

    -Noticeable Improvement (6-12 months): Most people experience more noticeable improvements in hair thickness and density between 6 to 12 months after PRP treatment. Hair growth may become more robust, and the overall appearance of your hair should improve.

    -Full Results (12+ months): The full benefits of PRP therapy for hair growth typically become apparent after a year or more of consistent treatment. At this stage, you should see significant improvements in hair thickness, density, and coverage in the treated areas.

    It's important to note that individual responses can vary, and some people may require multiple PRP sessions spaced a few months apart to achieve optimal results. Additionally, maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the improvements over time. The exact timeline and results depend on factors like the severity of hair loss, the individual's unique physiology, and the quality of the PRP procedure performed.

  • The timeline for seeing results from PRP therapy for facial wrinkle improvement can vary, but here's a general guideline:

    -Initial Results (0-2 weeks): Immediately after the PRP treatment, you may experience some initial improvements in your skin's texture and tone. Some patients notice a subtle glow and improved hydration shortly after the procedure.

    -Early Improvements (2-6 weeks): Over the next several weeks, you may notice gradual changes in your skin's appearance. Fine lines and wrinkles may appear softer, and your skin may appear more refreshed. These early results are often subtle but can become more pronounced with time.

    -Noticeable Improvement (2-3 months): Most individuals experience more noticeable improvements in their skin texture and reduction in wrinkles around 2 to 3 months after PRP treatment. Collagen production and tissue regeneration contribute to smoother, firmer skin.

    -Full Results (6-12 months): The full benefits of PRP therapy for facial wrinkle improvement usually become apparent within 6 to 12 months after treatment. At this point, your skin should exhibit more significant rejuvenation, with reduced fine lines and improved overall texture.

    It's important to remember that individual responses to PRP can vary based on factors such as the severity of wrinkles, skin type, age, and the quality of the PRP procedure performed. For some individuals, multiple PRP sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended to achieve optimal results. Maintenance sessions may also be advised to prolong the improvements over time. Consult with a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist experienced in PRP for facial rejuvenation to discuss your specific needs and expectations for wrinkle improvement

  • The recovery and downtime for Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy can vary depending on the specific treatment area and the individual's response. Generally, PRP is known for its minimal downtime and relatively short recovery period compared to more invasive procedures. Here's what you can typically expect:

    Immediate Post-Treatment Period (0-48 hours): After a PRP procedure, you may experience some mild swelling, redness, and discomfort at the injection site. These side effects are usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs. Most people can resume their regular daily activities within a day or two.

    Bruising: While not everyone experiences bruising, it can occur, especially in sensitive areas or if multiple injections are administered. Any bruising is typically mild and typically resolves within the week.

    Activity Restrictions: It's generally recommended to avoid strenuous physical activities, excessive sun exposure, and saunas for a few days after the procedure to minimize the risk of infection and to allow the treatment area to heal.

    Results and Downtime: PRP is known for its minimal downtime. You may see some immediate improvements in skin texture and hydration, but the full results often take several weeks to months to become noticeable. During this time, there is typically no significant downtime, and you can continue with your regular daily routine.

    Follow-Up Sessions: Depending on your treatment goals and the recommendation of your healthcare provider, you may need multiple PRP sessions spaced several weeks apart. In such cases, the downtime and recovery are usually minimal after each session.

    It's crucial to follow your healthcare provider's post-treatment instructions carefully to ensure a safe and effective recovery. PRP is a safe and well-tolerated procedure for most individuals, making it an attractive option for those seeking cosmetic enhancements with minimal disruption to their daily lives. However, individual experiences can vary, so it's essential to discuss your specific case and expectations with your healthcare provider before undergoing PRP therapy.

  • Results can last anywhere from several months to over a year. Maintenance sessions are often recommended to extend the benefits over time. The frequency of maintenance treatments will depend on the individual and the specific treatment area. Consult with your healthcare provider to create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and expectations. Additionally, adopting a healthy lifestyle, including proper skincare and hair care, can help maximize and prolong the results of PRP therapy.
