PRP Specialists Near Altona

PRP stands for platelet rich plasma. Blood, in addition to red and white blood cells contains platelets, rich in growth factors and are the most potent healers of the body. Growth factors promote healing by restoring strength of the tissue.
Once blood is collected via a tube, it is processed at high speeds, resulting in a separation of the red blood cells from the plasma. This plasma has higher concentrations of platelets with growth and healing factors, which are then used to promote healing, increase local blood flow, and stimulate hair follicles to grow healthier.

At our Altona clinic, PRP therapy is used to stimulate dormant hair follicles by improving blood supply and delivering essential growth factors. This can help slow down hair loss and encourage new, healthier growth.

Before treatment: Avoid alcohol, smoking, and anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen for at least 48 hours. Stay well hydrated and eat a healthy meal beforehand.

After treatment: Refrain from strenuous activity for 24 hours, avoid direct sun exposure, and follow any aftercare instructions provided by your clinician.

PRP therapy is generally very safe since it uses your own blood. Minor side effects such as redness, swelling, or mild tenderness at the injection site may occur but usually resolve quickly. Serious risks are rare.

Results can vary depending on the individual’s condition, age, and overall health. While most patients notice improvements in hair density or skin texture, no medical treatment can guarantee identical outcomes for everyone.

Discomfort is minimal, often described as a brief stinging sensation during injections. Any redness or swelling typically subsides within a day or two, meaning downtime is very limited.
