Regenerative Consultations
PRP Consultation
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is an autologous treatment prepared from the patient’s own blood and used in selected aesthetic and regenerative treatment plans.
A consultation is important to determine whether PRP may be appropriate for your concern and to discuss expected benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives.
What Is PRP?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma.
It is prepared from a sample of the patient’s own blood using a controlled processing technique to concentrate selected plasma and platelet components.
Depending on the clinical indication, PRP may be considered as part of a personalised treatment plan.
What May PRP Be Considered For?
Depending on assessment and clinical suitability, PRP may be discussed for concerns such as:
- Hair thinning
- Scalp treatment
- Skin quality
- Selected facial rejuvenation concerns
- Collagen-supporting treatment plans
PRP is not suitable for every concern, and response varies between individuals.
What Happens During a PRP Consultation?
Assessment may include:
- Your main concern
- Medical history
- Medication review
- Previous treatments
- Treatment area
- Expectations and goals
- Suitability for blood-derived treatment
- Potential risks and limitations
Is PRP Suitable for Everyone?
No. Suitability depends on individual medical history, treatment goals and clinical findings.
Some patients may require another treatment approach or further medical assessment. Like any procedure, PRP carries risks, which are discussed before treatment.
