Question 1

How Does PRP Treatment Work?

Accepted Answer

Platelets contain proteins called growth factors, which are responsible for healing. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains a much higher concentration of platelets (and therefore, growth factors) than typically found in blood. A small amount of blood is drawn and centrifuged to obtain PRP, and then it's injected into the desired site.  The procedure is completely sterile. You'll experience little to no pain, and risks associated with the procedure are minimal.

Question 2

Is PRP safe?

Accepted Answer

To create the PRP a small quantity of the patient’s blood is drawn. The whole blood is separated in a centrifuge to isolate layers of red blood cells and platelets. The end product of platelets is carefully drawn into a syringe for injection using an aseptic technique with disposable sterile needles. You will be advised on aftercare such as how to care for the skin and limiting strenuous exercise. Downtime is minimal and make up can be applied the morning after.

Question 3

How long does PRP last?

Accepted Answer

One of the benefits of the Platelet Rich Plasma Facelift is that the procedure is performed quickly and long-lasting results can be achieved usually after 2 or 3 treatments. This treatment eliminates the risk of allergic reactions or rejection from your body because the plasma is derived from your own blood. The benefits of Platelet Rich Plasma therapy on your skin generally last for around nine to 18 months, depending on individual patients. Compared to most other medical facials, that require you to purchase packages and keep returning for numerous treatment sessions over months to see results, PRP is a huge time and money saver.

Question 4

How many PRP treatments do I need and how much will it cost?

Accepted Answer

The general recommendation is 3 treatments, usually two weeks but no more than one month apart.  Currently, each treatment is $650 but can vary depending on the area to be treated. Price reductions include package payment and promotions e.g. buy 2 get 3rd half price. Please contact us for a free consultation to assess your treatment cost.

Question 5

PRP Treatment For Skin

Accepted Answer

PRP can help with the reduction of dark circles, deep wrinkles, and even acne scarring. Platelets promote collagen and elastin regrowth, which results in smoother skin and improved elasticity.

Question 6

PRP for Hair Loss

Accepted Answer

The procedure works by stimulating stem cells and tissue regeneration. In the case of hair loss, the injected platelets prompt inactive or newly implanted hair follicles to enter an active growth phase, causing the hair to start growing again. Clinical studies about the effectiveness of PRP and the longevity of results are inconclusive, mostly due to the fact that there is no standardized procedure and different practitioners use different injection formulas and strategies.
