Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

What Does a PRP Treatment Cost?
There are three options for PRP treatments at our Brisbane clinic:

1. PRP Microneedling: The area is microneedled, creating thousands of tiny channels in the skin, while PRP is applied simultaneously to enhance penetration.
– One area: $500
– Two areas: $650
– Three areas: $800

2. PRP Injections: PRP is injected into the skin in small micro doses, commonly around the eyes and mouth for thinning, lined skin.
– Small area: $300
– Large area: $500

3. PRP Microneedling + Injections: This approach is commonly used for full-face microneedling with PRP, with targeted injections for areas like crow’s feet or under the eyes during the same session.
– One area (e.g., full face microneedling + injections under eyes): $800

Platelet rich plasma therapy is an incredibly versatile treatment which uses the body’s own healing power from refined plasma, rich in powerful platelets. 

PRP can be used for a range of requirements:

  • Improving the texture of the skin
  • Better skin-tone
  • Firming the skin
  • Reducing fine lines and wrinkles
  • Volumising the deeper layers to increase support under the skin

Platelet rich plasma consists of key cells and proteins which are extracted from a blood sample taken in the clinic just prior to treatment. The blood fraction we use – PRP – is known to accelerate normal healing pathways and when injected into the skin it will stimulate and restore it.

PRP Skin Treatments

Platelet rich plasma therapy can be used to improve skin virtually anywhere on the body. The main areas we treat at Mulberry House Clinic are

  • Ageing around the eyes
  • Lines/wrinkles around the mouth
  • Full face
  • Décolletage/neck/chest
  • Hands

Other potential areas are:

  • Cheeks and midface
  • Jawline
  • Back of arms
Advantages of PRP:
  • As your own blood components are used and nothing is added it is completely natural and safe
  • It can be used on any area of skin – the main areas are eyes, face, neck, décolleté and hands
  • In particular it can be used for the delicate skin both just below and above the eyes – these are areas that have traditionally been very difficult to treat effectively
  • Platelet rich plasma therapy can be used both for skin texture and volume
  • Downtime is short, usually some puffiness or blotchiness for 1-2 days
  • We believe it is very cost-effective, costing little more than Botox and offering results for up to 18 months
PRP: Platelet Rich Plasma in North Lakes

Aussie Skincare Clinic offers the ultimate in natural skin rejuvenation, utilizing patients’ own blood to harvest platelet rich plasma (PRP). This treatment harnesses growth factors for complexion improvement, fine lines and wrinkles, skin health, and even healing.

PRP Platelet Rich Plasma

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments: Derived from a patient’s own blood, PRP is a concentrated solution rich in platelets and growth factors. When reintroduced into the skin, these elements work harmoniously to stimulate natural collagen production, aiding in the repair and regeneration of cells. The Aussie Skincare Clinic experienced clinicians in North Lakes are well-versed in the various applications of this naturally derived skin booster.

Also known as the Vampire Facial, this treatment gained popularity after Kim Kardashian posted her experience on social media, showcasing her face during the procedure.

Far from being just a social media trend, this autologous treatment is at the cutting edge of medical aesthetic rejuvenation.
The Treatment Process:
The treatment begins with blood being extracted and centrifuged (spun rapidly). The PRP separates from the rest of the blood components, resulting in a yellowish suspension that contains special factors promoting healthy cell growth and healing.

PRP is often injected into areas prone to premature aging or stress, such as under the eyes, around the mouth, and the neck or décolletage area. It can also be used on the hands or other body areas needing rejuvenation.

When combined with TWIST microneedling, which creates tiny punctures in the skin, the process stimulates skin tightening and enhances the growth of the patient’s own collagen.

Is PRP Painful?

We numb the treatment area using a topical anesthetic cream beforehand, and we also offer vibration therapy throughout the procedure to keep patients comfortable. For larger injection areas, we utilize a blunt-tipped cannula, which is much more comfortable than it appears. Patients often report feeling little to no discomfort.

The microneedling component feels similar to a tolerable scratching sensation.

What Does PRP Recovery Involve?

After the treatment, patients may experience bruising and swelling for a few days. It’s important to consider social or work commitments when deciding on your treatment date. Most individuals can return to normal activities the following day, depending on their comfort level with any puffiness or bruising. Makeup can generally be applied the day after the treatment.

How Many PRP Treatments Are Required?

The number of treatments depends on your initial skin condition, health prior to treatment, and your goals. Some patients see results after one treatment, but most require a series of 2-4 sessions for optimal outcomes. Once your skin condition has improved, annual maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results.

How Long Until I See Results from a PRP Treatment?

Changes typically begin to appear within a week or two, with more noticeable results evident from around 6 weeks onwards.

Why is PRP a Commonly Requested Skin Treatment at Our Clinic?

Queensland locals appreciate the subtropical climate, but the accompanying high levels of sun exposure can accelerate the aging process. PRP offers a unique solution for improving fine lines, thinning skin, and poor skin function.

The main steps involved in obtaining Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for skin rejuvenation are as follows:
1. Consultation

– Assessment: The patient meets with a qualified practitioner to discuss goals, medical history, and suitability for the procedure.

2. Blood Collection

– Venipuncture: A healthcare professional draws a small amount of blood (typically 10-60 ml) from the patient’s arm.

3. Centrifugation

– Separation: The collected blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins it rapidly to separate its components based on density.
– Layer Formation: This process creates three layers: red blood cells at the bottom, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the middle, and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) at the top.

4. Extraction of PRP

– Collection: The practitioner carefully extracts the middle layer (PRP) using a syringe, which contains a high concentration of platelets and growth factors.

5. Preparation for Injection

– Numbing: The treatment area is numbed with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the injection.
– Activation (Optional): The PRP may be activated using a substance like calcium chloride to enhance its effects before injection.

6. Injection of PRP

– Administration: The PRP is injected into targeted areas of the skin using a fine needle or cannula, focusing on areas needing rejuvenation.

7. Post-Treatment Care

– Aftercare Instructions: The practitioner provides guidance on care following the treatment, including potential side effects and recovery tips.

8. Follow-Up

– Monitoring Results: Patients may return for follow-up appointments to assess results, discuss any concerns, and determine if additional treatments are needed.

These steps outline the straightforward yet effective process of obtaining and applying PRP for skin rejuvenation.
