FAQ
Platelet rich plasma, or PRP, is a form of regenerative medicine. It utilises our body own natural healing powers to improve or enhance areas that need attention. PRP involves obtaining the platelets from one’s own blood and reinjecting them into the target site to promote healing and regeneration.
To obtain these platelets, a blood sample is taken and spun in a medical device called a centrifuge, to separate the blood components. The plasma which is now highly concentrated in platelets can be removed in a separate collection device and reinjected into the target area.
This platelet rich plasma has high levels of growth factors which aid in wound healing and tissue regeneration via a complex cellular cascade.
When reinjected into the skin, platelets stimulate production of growth factors to promote collagen production, naturally enhancing the texture and appearance of the skin. In our scalp, these growth factors encourage new hair growth. In injured joints, the growth factors stimulate wound healing.
As the blood being injected is from the same individual who supplied it, there is no risk of allergic reaction or transmission of blood borne infections. PRP uses your own cells to stimulate healing and growth. The healthier you are (diet, non-smoker, no drug use, age etc.) the more dramatic the results you will see.
PRP has many uses in area of sports medicine, vascular medicine, joint injury, wound and burn healing, skin rejuvenation and hair loss management. PRP involves obtaining the platelets from one’s own blood and reinjecting them into the target site to promote healing and regeneration.
In Flynn Medical Centre, we offer PRP for
Skin rejuvenation
The anti-aging effects of PRP are broad. Many areas can be targeted such as the face, neck, décolletage and back of hands.
Musculoskeletal
Improved healing of tendons, ligaments and muscles as well as improving symptoms of arthritis.
Hair loss
Many types of non-scarring hair loss can be treated using PRP including male and female pattern hair loss, post partum hair loss and others.
A sample of blood is taken from your arm. This is spun down, the platelets are extracted and reinjected in numerous small injection into the face, targeting areas of concern. A numbing cream is used in advance to minimize discomfort. The procedure takes approx one hour.
We aim to minimize pain but you may experience some mild discomfort during the procedure despite the numbing cream. Although we use very small needles, bruises can not always be prevented. Arnica tablets or cream can help with this.
You will start noticing an improvement in skin hydration within 1-2 weeks. By 6 weeks you will notice improved skin texture, brighter complexion, softening of fine lines and reduction in pigmentation. Results can last 18 months.
To optimize the outcome, it is recommended to repeat the procedure after 6-8 weeks for 3 sessions with a maintenance treatment every 6-12 months.
