Uses in Dermatology:

Anti-ageing: by stimulation of the healing cascade, collagen is also stimulated and improvements seen in fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, and tone.

Scarring: By stimulation of the platelet healing cascade an improvement of scarring can be seen, however, the best results are PRP in combination with laser therapy for scarring.

Hair-loss and balding: By stimulation of the hair follicles via platelets and growth factors, natural hair growth can be seen. Promising results have been shown in many patients. A treatment worth trying for a particularly distressing disease.

FAQs

How does it work?

Platelet-rich plasma therapy is the re-administration of your own platelets to activate the body’s natural healing cascade for repair and regeneration in the area it is injected. The high concentration of platelets also stimulates the release of growth factors that further aid in tissue regeneration, collagen stimulation, and overall wellness of the treated area.

What is the method?

This treatment involves sampling a small amount of the patient’s blood to centrifuge and concentrate the platelets. Once ready the platelets are re-injected into the area treated to enhance healing and regeneration of the tissue. It is not only safe but effective and hazard-free in the long-term.A topical application of anesthetic is usually required and oral analgesia can also be taken. This should be discussed with your medical practitioner prior to the treatment.

How often does PRP need to be performed?

Anti-ageing: Younger patients < 35yrs – 6 monthly Older patients: > 35yrs – 3 monthly Hair loss: 3 monthly
