PRP is performed by a trained healthcare professional – Registered Nurse or Medical practitioner.
After a consultation with your healthcare practitioner, photos will be taken to form part of your medical record. Your skin will be prepped and cleaned with an anti-bacterial solution to prevent any risk of infection. A thin layer of a strong numbing gel will be applied to the treatment area and left on for roughly 30-45 minutes to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
While the numbing takes place, your injector will take a sample of blood from you. This sample is then carefully placed into the centrifuge which specifically separates the Platelet Rich Plasma from your red blood cells and other proteins. This plasma is then placed in multiple syringes and your healthcare practitioner will begin to inject small amounts very superficially underneath the skin in 0.5-1 cm spaces.
Overall, your treatment including numbing time will take about 1-1.5 hours.
