Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, is a cosmetic treatment offered at Gold Coast Plastic Surgery. This treatment can increase your skin’s volume, and elasticity and repair fine lines by using your body’s own plasma cells.

While it may seem daunting to the uninitiated, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is actually quite safe and has been used in the hospital system for decades. Here’s everything you need to know about the innovative treatment.

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy? 

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a form of advanced cosmetic skin treatment that uses your own platelets. The plasma component contains stem cells and growth-rich platelets and when injected back into the skin and/or hair, it accelerates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin to provide overall skin and hair regeneration. It can also be combined with skin microneedling for an advanced skin treatment option.

What Areas of the Body Are Suitable for Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

PRP is suitable for:

  • The skin around the eyes
  • Hair
  • Cheeks
  • Forehead
  • Hands
  • Decolletage
  • Neck

What are The Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has many benefits, including using your cells to improve your skin condition and increase overall cell renewal by repairing the elasticity, texture and quality of the skin which in turn minimises fine lines, scarring, and creased skin. The treatment can:

  • Improves skin texture and tone
  • Reduce fine lines
  • Reduce scarring
  • Stimulate collagen for a volumised complexion
  • Stimulates hair growth
  • Stimulate skin cell production for better skin quality

How Does PRP Therapy Work?

A topical anaesthetic can be applied to the area that will be treated. Then, our Gold Coast Plastic Surgery Registered Nurse will draw a small sample of your blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge for approximately five minutes to separate the plasma from the other blood particles. The Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is then reinjected back into the treatment area to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

Am I a Suitable Candidate for Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

PRP, also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy therapy is suitable for anyone who is concerned by areas of skin that are starting to lose elasticity and volume. It’s also a method for stimulating your body’s cells to produce new, volumised skin. This works particularly well for that delicate under-eye area, where you may notice signs of ageing first, and where laser treatments are not an option. It’s also used at Gold Coast Plastic Surgery to increase the structural integrity and health of the skin. Particularly skin that has had more than its fair share of sun damage over the years.

Is Platelet-Rich Plasma A New Treatment on the Gold Coast?

No, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is not a new treatment on the Gold Coast. It has been long recognised and used in the Australian hospital system and in sports medicine, for its practical wound-healing properties since the 1970’s.

Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy Safe?

Yes, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is generally considered a safe skin treatment, as you are using your own natural bio elements.

What are The Risks of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, while generally considered safe, does carry some potential risks and side effects. These may include:

  • Risk of Infection: Any time the skin is punctured, there’s a slight risk of infection. Using sterile techniques and equipment minimises this risk.
  • Pain or Discomfort: Mild pain or discomfort at the injection site is common.
  • Bruising or Bleeding: Some individuals might experience bruising or bleeding at the injection site.

It is important to discuss these risks before undergoing PRP therapy.

Does Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy Hurt?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy can involve a little bit of discomfort. You can also be topically numbed before this treatment to ensure your session is more comfortable.

How Long Do the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Results Last?

It is recommended that you undergo a series of three (3) treatments in the first 12 months. After that, the results of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy generally last one (1) year.

Will I Bruise or Swell After Platelet-Rich Plasma PRP?

You may experience redness, swelling and tenderness in the areas treated with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. Bruising generally resolves within 1 – 10 days and swelling generally resolves within 2 – 4 days.

How Much Does PRP Cost?
