Tell me more about PRP Therapy.
At the beginning of your appointment a small quantity of blood will be taken (like a normal blood test). The platelet rich plasma is extracted using a . This portion of your blood contains all of the growth factors, cytokines and other important proteins in the stimulation of stem cells. These components stimulate cell growth and repair and once activated are immediately injected directly into the treatment area using a very fine needle. is not uncomfortable and recovery time is minimal so you can resume normal activities quickly. There are very few side effects as PRP is your body’s own product. There will be some swelling, and bruising immediately after treatment, these last a few days and disappear. Results continue to improve over time as collagen production is stimulated. Results last longer than chemical options.
PRP therapy can be mixed with other treatments, for example combined with Dermal fillers for a cheek enhancement or alongside botox and skin boosters in other areas.
