PRP SKIN TREATMENT
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves collecting a small sample of a patient’s blood and processing it to separate the platelet-rich plasma component. Platelets contain growth factors that may play a role in tissue repair and healing processes.
In cosmetic medicine, PRP may be used in selected patients as part of a treatment approach for skin quality concerns such as texture changes or areas affected by scarring. The procedure involves taking a small blood sample, processing it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then placing the plasma into targeted areas of the skin.
Suitability for PRP treatment is determined during consultation. Medical history, medications and individual skin concerns are assessed before any procedure is recommended.
Procedure time is typically around 60 minutes, although this may vary depending on the treatment area and clinical circumstances.
RISKS AND RECOVERY
As with any medical procedure, PRP therapy carries potential risks. These may include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness at the treatment site, bleeding, infection, and in rare cases unsatisfactory cosmetic outcomes. Recovery experiences vary between individuals and depend on the treatment area and the patient’s response to the procedure.
Treatment plans are individualised following consultation. The number and timing of treatments may vary depending on clinical assessment and patient factors.
All procedures are discussed in detail during consultation, including potential risks, expected recovery and alternative treatment options. Pricing varies depending on the treatment area and clinical requirements.
