PRP Perth
Rejuvenate, repair, and improve skin health and quality with PRP.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treats common concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, skin tone and texture, skin laxity, acne scarring, and hair loss. It can also be used to treat signs of ageing in the delicate eye area. This treatment harnesses the body’s healing process, and is ideal to achieve natural results.
This regenerative medicine treatment involves nurses drawing blood which is then placed in a centrifuge machine to separate the platelet rich plasma. These platelets contain proteins and growth factors that are essential to promote healing and skin cell renewal, as well as working to stimulate collagen and elastin production. From here, the PRP can be injected into the skin or applied topically following a treatment such as Tixel, which opens channels in the skin, allowing for optimal absorption.
PRP for Hair Rejuvenation
PRP treatment can also be used to address existing hair loss and prevent future hair loss by promoting regrowth and rejuvenation. This treatment involves PRP being injected across the scalp where growth factors work to stimulate hair follicles, encouraging growth and the regeneration process. This results in increased hair count, thickness, and health. This is ideal for clients of all genders, from men experiencing hair loss to women experiencing hair thinning as a symptom of perimenopause. We recommend a series of treatments to achieve optimal results. Booking a consult to discuss PRP for hair rejuvenation will allow our team to make a customised treatment plan based on your concerns and desired results.
