PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It is a treatment that uses a concentrated portion of a person’s own blood, which contains platelets and growth factors. These components are used in various medical and skin-related applications.
A small amount of your blood is collected, then placed into a centrifuge, which separates the platelets and plasma from other blood components. The concentrated PRP is then prepared for clinical use.
PRP may be used in a range of clinical and cosmetic settings. In cosmetic practices, it may be considered for use in procedures aiming to support skin texture, hydration, and overall skin health. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is required to determine if this is appropriate for you.
Not necessarily. PRP treatment may not be appropriate for individuals with certain medical conditions or contraindications. Your medical history will be reviewed by a registered health practitioner prior to any treatment being recommended.
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks. These will be discussed with you during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
The number of sessions depends on your individual concerns and goals. Your practitioner will guide you on what may be suitable during your personalised consultation.
Results may vary between individuals. Some people may notice changes over time, while others may require multiple sessions. No outcome can be guaranteed.
PRP treatments are performed by qualified and trained health professionals after a medical consultation and informed consent process.
