If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask your physician or nurse.Description of treatment:

This treatment involves the collection of your blood (approximately 10 – 16ml), then your blood is spun down using a centrifuge to separate out the plasma and platelet portion using the ‘Regen gel’ as a special filter. The PRP portion of your blood is then injected back into your skin to stimulate new collagen production, and to re-energise your cells into rejuvenating themselves. The product injected is 100% your own blood by-product (autologous).
What is PRP?

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma which is blood plasma containing a high concentration of platelets, also known as thrombocytes. PRP can help regenerate and revitalise damaged skin, reduce fine lines and improve skin texture.

What is Regen PRP®?

Regen PRP® is a world leading system for the preparation of PRP developed by RegenLab of Switzerland. Regen PRP® is an approved system that has been used to successfully treat fine lines worldwide since 2008.

How does it work?

Direct injection of Regen PRP® into the skin supports and helps accelerate the process of tissue regeneration and repair.
Regen PRP® contains fundamental growth factors released by activated platelets to help initiate the tissue regeneration process by:
• Stimulation of new collagen production
• Induction of mesenchymal stem cell division and differentiation
• Stimulation of angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels

What does the treatment involve?

Preparing Regen PRP® is a quick and easy process.
Blood is collected from you in 1-2 specially designed tubes which are then centrifuged for 5-10 minutes. During centrifugation, a patented gel within the tubes isolates PRP from other unrequired cells within the blood.
Regen PRP® is then ready for application. Depending on the indication, it can be applied:
• As multiple small superficial injections
• As deeper injections using a type of blunt needle called a cannula
• Topically in combination with other treatments

Is it safe?

Because Regen PRP® uses your own blood, the risk of immunological reactions or contamination with transmissible diseases is eliminated.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss

PRP therapy for hair loss is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that involves using the patient’s own blood to promote hair growth. The patient’s blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and then injected into the scalp where hair thinning or balding has occurred.

The platelets contain growth factors that stimulate the hair follicles to regrow and promote healthy hair growth. PRP therapy has been shown to be highly effective in treating androgenetic alopecia, or male and female pattern baldness.

During your PRP therapy for hair loss appointment, our experienced medical professional will carefully examine your scalp and determine the best course of treatment based on your individual needs. The procedure typically takes less than an hour to complete and involves a series of injections into the scalp. Most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure.
