Suitability, potential risks, and expected outcomes are assessed during a consultation with a qualified clinician. Individual responses to PRP procedures vary, and no specific result can be guaranteed
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy, often referred to as the “vampire facial,” is a popular skin treatment that uses the regenerative potential of your own blood to promote healing, renewal and skin rejuvenation.
By extracting a concentrated dose of platelet-rich plasma and re-injecting it under sterile medical conditions, PRP stimulates the activation of stem cells in the skin, fostering the growth of new tissue, including muscles, nerves, and elastin.
This innovative approach, which has been utilised since the 1970s, offers a versatile solution in cosmetic medicine, addressing a variety of concerns from hair loss to facial rejuvenation, lip regeneration, and neck tightening.
If you are seeking an effective treatment for these issues, PRP therapy could be the ideal choice for revitalising your appearance.
At Academy Face and Body in Perth, we offer a range of aesthetic procedures for diverse skin types and concerns. Maintaining good skincare is important for overall skin health and managing individual concerns.
