Platelet Rich Plasma

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a non-surgical treatment that utilises your own plasma to support your skin's natural processes.

By harnessing your body's own growth factors, PRP may assist in improving the appearance of skin, with the potential to rejuvenate skin texture, elasticity, and overall health.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR PRP TREATMENT CONSULTATION

At Flawless Aesthetics, we understand that each individual's skin is unique.

Our PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Consultation involves a comprehensive assessment of your skin's condition to discuss suitable treatment options.

During your consultation, your practitioner will do:

  • 1. Comprehensive skin assessment

    Your practitioner will conduct a thorough examination of your skin to assess its current condition and identify areas that may benefit from PRP treatment. This step helps ensure that the treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs and rejuvenation goals.

  • 2. Thorough medical history review

    To ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment, your practitioner will review your medical history. This includes checking for any conditions or medications that might affect the suitability of PRP therapy for your skin.

  • 3. Detailed explanation of the PRP process

    Your practitioner will walk you through the PRP treatment process, explaining how Platelet-Rich Plasma is derived from your own blood to encourage natural healing and rejuvenation. They will provide clear details on what to expect before, during, and after the procedure.

  • 4. Clear information on potential outcomes

    Your practitioner will inform you of the expected outcomes of PRP therapy, ensuring you have realistic expectations for your results. They will also take the time to answer any questions, clarifying the treatment process and addressing any concerns to ensure you feel confident moving forward

THE PROCEDURE: WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Consultation

Book a consultation with one of our specialists in PRP. We will assess your medical history, current health status, and specific concerns or conditions you want to address with PRP treatment.

2. Blood Draw

The next step is to have a tiny sample of your blood drawn if PRP therapy is found to be suitable for you. This blood sample will be processed to extract the platelets.

3. Centrifugation and Platelet Activation

Centrifuges spin blood samples at high speeds to separate their components by density. Platelets, plasma, and red blood cells are separated and concentrated during this process. Growth factors are released from concentrated platelets after centrifugation. Platelet activation releases growth factors needed for the treatment.

4. Preparation of PRP and Injection

After the platelet-rich plasma is activated then it's ready for administration. The prepared PRP is injected into the intended area.

5. Aftercare and Follow-Up

After the PRP injection you will need to follow aftercare such as avoiding certain activities, applying ice or heat to the injection area. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor your progress and determine if additional PRP treatments are needed.

Risks & Considerations

Possible side effects may include:

FAQs

Platelets contain growth factors that may play a role in supporting natural healing processes, potentially improving skin texture and tone.

PRP treatment works by using your body’s own platelets to support natural healing processes. Platelets contain growth factors that can assist in the rejuvenation of skin and tissue. The PRP is injected into the targeted areas, where it may support the skin’s natural regeneration processes.

PRP therapy is commonly used in cosmetic treatments for skin rejuvenation, potentially improving skin texture, elasticity, and tone. It is also used for hair restoration and wound healing. The treatment may be helpful for a variety of aesthetic concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, though results vary by individual.

PRP treatment is generally considered safe as it uses your own blood, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions or disease transmission. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there may be potential risks, such as mild discomfort, temporary swelling, or redness at the injection site. It’s important to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine if PRP is right for you.

The number of PRP treatments required will vary depending on your specific skin goals and response to the treatment. Typically, a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results, but your practitioner will tailor a treatment plan to your individual needs.
