Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP treatment uses a small sample of your own blood
The blood is processed to separate a platelet-rich component, which is then used as part of the treatment
At The Derma Practice, PRP may be considered for:
Skin
As part of a treatment plan focused on facial skin quality and rejuvenation
Hair
As an option for selected patients concerned about hair thinning or hair quality
What happens during PRP treatment?
A small amount of blood is taken and processed using a centrifuge
The prepared platelet-rich component is then administered to the treatment area according to your individual treatment plan
What to expect
Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling or bruising can occur following treatment
PRP uses material derived from your own blood, but this does not mean that treatment is risk-free or that results are guaranteed
Suitability, expectations and the likely treatment course will be discussed during consultation
Your safety comes first
All injectable treatments require an appropriate consultation and assessment before treatment. Your medical history, medications, allergies, previous procedures and relevant risk factors will be reviewed.
Before proceeding, you will have an opportunity to discuss what the treatment involves, realistic expected outcomes, alternative options, common side effects, important or serious complications, aftercare, and when and how to seek help following treatment.
There is no obligation to proceed with treatment following a consultation.
