prp Treatment Melbourne

All blood is special, but blood platelets are particularly so. Platelets contain lots of useful elements, including growth factors. These growth factors help stimulate cell growth while travelling around your body. We isolate and concentrate them to help promote growth in hair follicles, skin collagen and elastin.

Platelet rich plasma injections can last up to 18 months. Much depends on your skin, your general health and genetics, so it’s impossible to give you a concrete time. In our experience, you’ll probably experience positive effects for between 12-18 months before you need another treatment.

The theory behind PRP treatments uses your own growth factors to stimulate cell rejuvenation. All that takes a little time so you’ll need to wait up to a few weeks to begin noticing positive changes. We’re all different and react in different ways, so some will see changes sooner than others.

PRP hair treatments are very common and are gaining popularity all the time. The growth factors in your blood can help stimulate follicle growth while the treatment also increases blood flow to those follicles, which is essential for them to function. Both these things can help regrow hair and we have treated many thousands of people for this exact condition!

A PRP treatment appointment will usually take between 45 minutes and an hour. Procedures are non-invasive, require no anaesthetic and no recovery time either. We will draw some blood, run it through our centrifuge and reintroduce it to the affected area using our microneedler. Once complete, you can leave right away and go about your day!

It is exceptionally rare to experience any side effects with platelet rich plasma treatment in Melbourne. As everyone is different, it’s impossible to say for sure but after 45,000 treatments, we can safely say the worst you’re likely to experience is tenderness and redness around the face for a few hours.

PRP treatment is regarded as very safe, with minimal chance of complications. Anyone over 18 can undergo the treatment, with just a few exceptions. Anyone with HIV, AIDS, hepatitis C, any type of blood cancer or skin cancer at the treatment area will not be able to undergo treatment. Also, anyone on blood thinners will also not be able to undertake PRP treatment in Melbourne.

PRP treatments are very safe. We are using your own blood after all. This type of autologous treatment eliminates the potential for rejection or issues using compounds or chemicals. The risk of allergy or side effects is also minimal as we’re using your own platelets on your own skin.
