Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP for short, is a staple of regenerative medicine. It has been used by mainstream medical doctors to treat sports injuries and heal wounds since the 1990’s, and has recently been utilised in aesthetic medicine. It utilises the body’s own blood, which is processed using a special machine to separate growth and healing factors, and re-injected into the target area. This highly concentrated solution finds damaged and ageing cells and aids in healing them, resulting in refreshed and rejuvenated skin or hair follicles.
PRP is typically used to treat skin on the face and neck, scars and can be used to stimulate hairgrowth in the scalp.
Prior to the appointment, you should not drink alcoholic or caffeinated beverages for at least 24 hours, and to stop applying tretinoin for at least 48 hours. You should avoid medications which can increase your risk of bleeding, like NSAIDs or aspirin, unless advised by your doctor in which case you should discuss with your practitioner.
Your PRP journey will start with a consultation with our clinicians to discuss your treatment aims and likely results. On the day of the appointment, the clinician will collect a blood sample and process it in the centrifuge. When the PRP serum is ready, it will be injected into the target area or could be combined with other treatments like microneedling.
Results will start to be seen after 3 to 6 months, with best results around 15 to 18 months after the treatment. Your clinician will advise the best treatment plan tailored to your needs, but we usually recommend a course of 4 to 6 sessions initially followed by two annual maintenance sessions.
