What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. Your blood has an abundance of natural growth factors and, with injecting and micro-needling PRP into your skin, it stimulates your body’s collagen and elastin production, helping you achieve smoother, softer, younger-looking skin. Here are some of the specific benefits of the PRP procedure in Sydney.
Our blood is made up of four components; red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma and platelets. PRP is a blood component. Platelets work by reacting to cuts and wounds to clot blood and aid healing. Plasma contains nutrients, proteins and growth factors that repair damage and injuries. These components are therefore useful to stimulate the cells in the skin to produce collagen and elastin.

If smoother, glowing, younger-looking skin is what you are looking for, PRP treatment may be the answer you are looking for. While there are may cosmetic options out there, PRP is a total rejuvenation procedure, with incredible benefits, such as:

It provides total rejuvenation. PRP stimulates elastin and collagen production, which tightens and thickens loose and thinning skin. This tightening and thickening action effectively smooths wrinkles and fine lines.

What happens during the procedure?
One of our team member will have an in-depth consultation prior to any treatment, to ensure that PRP for skin rejuvenation is the right option for you. As PRP is a natural and safe procedure, most people are a suitable candidate for this effective procedure.
To ensure maximum comfort, after your thorough consultation, we will clean and apply numbing cream to your face. The blood taken from your arm will spin in the centrifuge; to separate the blood components. The face will be cleanse again to remove the numbing cream. The PRP will inject into any specific areas of concern, such as under the eyes, acne scarring or lines, for targeting treatment, then a medical grade micro needling device using over the rest of the face. This creates micro-wounds to allow the penetration of the PRP into the skin and to entice the skin to increase cell turnover and healing nutrients to released in the skin. Following the treatment, antiseptic cream will applied to protect and relieve the skin.
Your skin may be red and swollen post-treatment and it is recommended that the face is not touched or wash for a minimum of four hours after the PRP treatment. However, most people will experience redness for 1-3 days after the PRP procedure, followed by up to 7 days of dryness and/or flaking of the dead skin cells. Once the skin has healed, and the dead skin cells have naturally sloughed off, the soft, new skin is revealed. There is an undeniable and noticeable glow to those who have had a PRP treatment and it is a sneak-peak into the results that are yet to come.
Long-lasting results
PRP injections and PRP micro-needling targets the lower layers of the skin to stimulate the cells to produce collagen and elastin. The skin will become plumper and tighter. The treatment can help reduce fine lines and wrinkle, pore size, pigmentation dark circles, scars, acne scarring, and improve the overall quality of the skin. The tone and texture of the skin will improve, resulting in smoother, firmer and more-even skin.
