Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a blood-derived preparation containing a concentration of platelets within plasma. It is prepared from a sample of your own blood using a specific processing technique.
PRP may be considered as part of an individualised approach to selected skin concerns. At Regentics in Mount Waverley, we discuss the proposed application method, available evidence, risks, recovery and alternatives before developing a treatment plan.
PRP differs from platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), which incorporates a fibrin matrix. Neither approach guarantees a particular result. Learn how PRF Skin differs from PRP, or explore Skin Needling consultations as another approach to certain skin concerns.
Your consultation starts with the changes you have noticed in skin texture and appearance, your goals and your current skincare routine.
Tell your practitioner about medicines, supplements, previous procedures and health conditions so they can assess whether PRP is suitable for you.
Results vary. Your practitioner will explain the limitations of PRP and whether other approaches may better suit your concerns.
Your consultation includes alternative approaches, including skincare or no treatment, so you can make an informed choice.
Discuss recovery time, aftercare instructions and who to contact if you have concerns before deciding to proceed.
PRP is not suitable for everyone. Your practitioner will assess your circumstances and explain relevant risks before treatment.
Your practitioner reviews your skin concerns, medical history and goals and discusses whether PRP or another approach is appropriate.
Before any treatment, discuss the proposed procedure, possible risks, recovery, alternatives and costs. Ask questions and take time to decide.
If PRP is suitable and you choose to proceed, your practitioner will explain how your blood sample is collected and prepared and how the planned procedure will be performed.
Follow your individual aftercare instructions and attend review as advised. Contact the clinic promptly if you are concerned about your recovery.
No. Suitability depends on your health, skin concerns and treatment history. Your practitioner will discuss relevant risks and alternatives before you decide.
Response varies between individuals and improvement is not guaranteed. Discuss your priorities and realistic expectations during your consultation.
Blood collection and the proposed procedure can cause discomfort. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and discuss suitable comfort measures.
Recovery depends on the procedure and your individual response. Ask about redness, swelling, bruising and aftercare, and allow appropriate time before important events.
There is no single schedule for everyone. Any proposed course and review timing should reflect your assessment, response, preferences and costs.
No. PRP and PRF are different blood-derived preparations. Ask your practitioner to explain the proposed approach and why it may or may not suit your skin concerns.
