PRP, it comes from the patient's own blood. The blood is drawn from the patient into a special PRP tube and put in a centrifuge machine. The centrifuge separates the blood from the plasma. The plasma is then injected back into the skin/problem area using a small needle and micro-needle.
Plasma found in blood is high in cell growth factors, which can rejuvenate skin concerns, reduce dark under-eyes, pore size, scars, lines, and wrinkles.
The areas treated are:
- PRP for the hair loss, injecting plasma into the scalp and hair follicles will reduce hair loss and encourage new hair to grow. At Avelar Aesthetics we use the 5 pin multi needle to inject the plasma, this makes the process faster and with minimum discomfort possible. Anaesthetic cream is not advised in this area as its difficult to remove and can interact with the plasma.
- PRP for the face and neck, at Avelar Aesthetics, we use 2 techniques. We inject the plasma in the wrinkles using a needle, and with a microneedle pen we cause micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process and with the help of your own plasma rich in cell growth factor, the skin will rejuvenate.
- PRP for the hands, we use the 2 techniques described above.
For the hands an anaesthetic cream can be applied if needed.
We do not recommend this treatment if you have had problems in the past with giving blood, please come to your appointment hydrated. If we can’t take your blood, you’ll be offered an alternative treatment.
