PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Injections
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a new medical technology which involves the patient’s blood being extracted and spun down to obtain a concentrate of platelets which are then injected into an area of the body for the purpose of promoting healing, rejuvenation and slowing down the ageing process.
Is PRP right for me?
Natural ageing of the skin means that skin texture and appearance deteriorate over time.
An exciting new approach appealing to people seeking a more natural method to facial rejuvenation, is regeneration with your own cells, more specifically autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP).
PRP is being used successfully with thousands of patients across the globe to rejuvenate and slow down the ageing process.
PRP treatments are suitable for:
- Tired and dry skin, laxity of skin, uneven pigmentation
- Signs of skin ageing
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Overall texture and tone improvement
- Certain types of alopecia or general hair thinning
- People who may experience risk of allergic reactions from other treatments
- People looking for a natural treatment using the body’s own healing process
What else is PRP used for?
Because Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy promotes the body’s own healing and rejuvenation processes it can be used just about anywhere tissue regeneration is required or beneficial.
Areas where PRP are being successfully utilised include:
- Fat transfer for cosmetic procedures
- Wound healing and tissue repair
- Autoimmune conditions
- Osteoarthritis, including:
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Knee tendinosis
- Rotator cuff tears
- Achilles tendinosis
- Plantar Fasciitis
- And more…
- Stimulate hair growth
PRP is suitable for men and women suffering certain types of alopecia or general hair thinning, looking to prevent more hair loss and those not interested in surgery. It is ideal to start treatment at first sign of hair loss and thinning.
The PRP procedure
Blood is collected from you in 1-2 specially designed tubes which are then centrifuged for 5-10 minutes. During centrifugation, a patented gel within the tubes isolates PRP from other unrequired cells within the blood.
PRP is then ready for application by injection back into the skin.
Following the procedure, patients can resume normal activity almost immediately.
