Platelet-Rich Therapy, commonly referred to as PRP Therapy, leverages components extracted from your own blood to stimulate the creation of new collagen and enhance growth factors. This innovative approach is making waves in the medical field due to its efficacy in addressing a multitude of issues. Notably, it has become a favoured method for combating hair loss, contributing to the development of fuller, more robust hair.
Additionally, it’s employed to boost collagen production within the skin, aiding in the reduction of fine lines and enhancing overall skin texture. The procedure, involving strategic injections of PRP into the facial area, has earned the nickname “Vampire Facelift,” and stands as a sought-after service we provide.
Furthermore, PRP Therapy has demonstrated significant effectiveness in alleviating discomfort associated with arthritis and injuries, particularly in the shoulder and knee, by promoting natural healing processes.
Our experts
At our clinic, our knee injection treatments using PRP are exclusively performed by our highly skilled Doctors. They frequently employ this method for a variety of purposes, spanning both aesthetic enhancements and medical treatments. When addressing joint issues, particularly in the knees, we often combine PRP with Hyaluronic Acid. This dual approach not only promotes the production of new collagen but also has a soothing, lubricating effect on sore joints. Our cutting-edge technology is utilized to precisely separate vital growth factors from the blood components. The process entails extracting these natural growth factors and then strategically reapplying them to stimulate the regeneration of cells within the joints, aiding in collagen synthesis and joint lubrication. We harness the power of your own body’s growth factors, concentrating them to enhance their efficacy before reintroducing them to areas in need of healing and rejuvenation.
What to expect
Upon your visit, one of our Doctors will conduct a thorough examination to determine the most effective sites for injection to achieve optimal outcomes. If necessary, a topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort. A small quantity of blood will be drawn from your arm and processed through our state-of-the-art system, which isolates the essential growth factors, readying them for injection into the affected knee. The entire procedure is swift and efficient, typically concluding within 30 minutes, depending on the specific area being treated.
Aftercare
Following your procedure, it’s important to keep the treated area untouched by any products for 24 hours to maintain cleanliness and minimise the risk of infection. For those receiving joint injections, we recommend a 24-hour rest period for the treated joint to ensure the best possible recovery.
FAQs
FAQ
Are there any side affects?
As the substance injected is derived directly from your own blood, without the addition of any medications, side effects are highly unusual. However, like with any injection, there might be a slight bruising where the needle was inserted.
Is this treatment permanent?
PRP can produce long term results but most clients benefit from having PRP done more than once.
How quickly does it work?
PRP works gradually over a few weeks. Most people notice an improvement to their skin, hair or joints within the first 3-4 weeks.
