About This Procedure

The most appropriate approach is individual and depends on your anatomy, goals, and medical history. Your clinician will discuss realistic expectations, limitations, and the evidence base for each option during consultation. Outcomes vary and no result can be guaranteed.

Key Benefits

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) uses your own blood components and may support skin texture and scalp concerns. Individual outcomes vary and multiple sessions are typically required.

Autologous Treatment: Uses your own blood components, which may reduce the likelihood of certain adverse reactions.
Scalp Support: When applied to the scalp, the growth factors in PRP may support the follicular environment, which some patients find assists in addressing the appearance of thinning hair.
Fine Lines: The growth factors released by platelets may support the skin's natural regenerative processes, which can alter the appearance of fine lines over a course of sessions.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate for PRP is an adult seeking an autologous approach to address skin texture, fine lines, or thinning hair. Candidates should have a clear understanding of the treatment mechanism and hold realistic expectations regarding the gradual nature of the results. This treatment is often considered by individuals who prefer using their own body’s resources rather than synthetic dermal fillers or specific pharmaceutical interventions.

Techniques & Approaches

The specific approach is selected based on individual assessment and clinical goals. Your clinician will discuss the most appropriate options during your consultation.

Technique selection is individual and based on your anatomy and goals

A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is then re-injected into the treatment area using fine needles.

Options will be discussed during consultation

Your clinician will discuss the recommended treatment schedule, typically a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced approximately 4 weeks apart, and explain that results develop gradually.

Your clinician will explain the recommended approach and expected trade-offs

Your clinician will explain the mechanism by which platelet-derived growth factors may influence tissue quality, the expected timeline, and that individual results depend on your body’s biological response.

Individual results will be discussed transparently

Your clinician will provide transparent information about what PRP can and cannot achieve for your specific concerns. Individual biological responses vary significantly and no result is guaranteed.

Anesthesia

Many treatments in this category are performed without general anaesthesia. Topical numbing or local measures may be used for some procedures. Your clinician will discuss comfort management options during consultation.

What we will cover in consultation

Your medical practitioner will explain:

Clinician-Led Assessment: Our practitioners assess whether Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, which uses your own blood components, may be appropriate for your skin or hair concerns
Individualised Treatment: PRP involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to concentrate platelets, and re-injecting it. Multiple sessions are typically recommended and results vary
Appropriate Clinical Setting: Treatments are performed in an appropriate clinical setting with adherence to Australian regulations
Aftercare & Maintenance: Written aftercare and discussion of treatment intervals
Clinician-Patient Agreement: Your treatment plan, including the number of sessions and expected costs, will be documented and discussed before treatment commences

Your surgeon will explain recommended incision placement, expected scarring, and the trade-offs of each approach during consultation.

Bruising, swelling and tenderness; Infection; Asymmetry; Allergic reaction; Vascular occlusion (rare but serious); Nodule formation
