Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment in Coomera

PLATELET RICH PLASMA TREATMENT IN COOMERA

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP treatment rejuvenates the face by addressing fine lines, and wrinkles, and enhancing collagen production. Beyond cosmetic uses, it’s effective for conditions like tendon injuries, arthritis, and joint issues, leveraging the body’s natural healing processes.

What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is derived from concentrated blood plasma containing 3 to 5 times the normal platelet levels. This solution contains bioactive proteins such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor (TGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

Our PRP procedure is made to be both easy to use and safe. First, 10 to 30 ml of your blood are drawn; the blood is centrifuged to separate the platelets and fibrin-containing upper layer. In order to inject these platelets again into the intended location or areas, they are carefully removed. PRP injections rejuvenate tissues for smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin by creating an environment that is favourable to the creation of collagen and elastin.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair loss is known for its high effectiveness. Enriched with growth factors, the platelets in the plasma stimulate hair growth by activating the hair follicles. PRP Hair Restoration is suitable for both men and women, offering a non-surgical, natural solution for hair loss or thinning. This injectable treatment utilises the client’s own blood, as PRP contains active growth factors that naturally promote hair growth. The results are fuller and healthier hair. At our clinic, we offer an individualised holistic approach to PRP Hair Restoration, tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

The results generated by PRP are subtle and incredibly natural-looking. These results can last for up to 24 months. PRP possesses no risk of developing an allergic reaction and is minimally invasive.

The term “platelet-rich plasma” was coined in the 70s to describe the high platelet count fluid that medical professionals use in transfusions. Now, platelet-rich plasma is used across the medical field for different applications. It’s used in sports medicine, for wound healing; in cardiology, for various surgeries and tissue regeneration; to help with male-pattern baldness, and now in dermatology for its anti-ageing properties.

In 2011, a study was conducted to see if PRP could be used to rejuvenate ageing skin. They found that this type of therapy increased collagen production. Since then, many studies were performed to test the effectiveness of facial PRP rejuvenation treatment. One particular study examined how PRP could help dark circles and remedy the loss of elasticity in the under-eye area. The results were staggering: most clients had lightening of dark circles under the eyes and increased firmness and elastin with no negative side effects. Since the under-eye is a delicate area — and is sometimes difficult to treat with fillers — this is brilliant news for anyone wishing to revitalise their face.

Now, you may be wondering what happens during the procedure. PRP therapy uses your own blood to create a substance full of growth factors and proteins, which is then injected into the treatment site of your choosing with a small needle. Your clinician will first take a small vial of blood from your arm, which is spun in a centrifuge machine to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. That substance is used in the procedure.

Facial PRP skin rejuvenation treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, which naturally decreases as we age. This is why the procedure is so popular and considered a fountain of youth. It makes visible improvements to your skin’s texture, increasing plumpness and firmness while reducing fine lines. This treatment is especially popular for those who want a more natural alternative to Botox and dermal fillers.

Is PRP Safe?

Indeed, you are correct. PRP treatment for skin rejuvenation is generally regarded as safe since it utilises a substance derived from the patient’s own blood, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions or complications. Although it may not have FDA or EU approval for this specific purpose, PRP has been extensively used in various medical applications, and the equipment and procedures are cleared for use. This understanding can certainly offer reassurance to individuals contemplating PRP treatment for skin rejuvenation.

How Many PRP Treatments Do I Need?

To optimise the benefits of PRP therapy, we advise undergoing a minimum of three treatments spaced six weeks apart. Each treatment typically lasts about 30 minutes, and there is no downtime required for recovery. Additionally, the “Vampire Facial” procedure is a combined treatment that incorporates hyaluronic dermal fillers alongside platelet-rich plasma. This combination further reduces fine lines and hydrates the skin effectively. If you are dealing with sun damage and deeper wrinkles, this combined treatment may be a suitable option to consider.

What Area of the Body Is Best for PRP?

This treatment is excellent for all over the face, neck, décolletage and hands. It works wonders for scar tissue or stretch marks but is especially great for dark circles — known as the tear troughs — under the eyes.

Are There Side Effects with PRP Treatment?

This treatment is non-invasive and typically involves no downtime for recovery. While there are no severe side effects associated with the procedure, you may experience slight discomfort, minor bruising, swelling, or puffiness in the treatment areas. It’s advisable to take it easy for a day or two after the procedure, but you can usually return to work immediately after visiting the clinic.

What Results Should I Expect with PRP?

You’ll start to see results within a few weeks and complete new collagen regeneration at around three months. Your beautiful skin can last up to 18 months, but for best results, we recommend coming in for a follow-up one year after treatment. Here, we will discuss the best treatment plan to keep your new, youthful face glowing for years to come.
