Autologous Platelet Concentrate Therapies –

PRP and PRF

At Aesthetic Medicine Sydney, we offer advanced regenerative treatments utilising PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) therapies that harness your body's own healing capabilities to support natural tissue regeneration and rejuvenation.

PRF represents an evolution of this technology, offering enhanced biological benefits through a more sophisticated preparation process.

Both procedures involve collecting a small blood sample, processing it through specialised centrifugation to concentrate beneficial growth factors and regenerative cells, and precisely re-introducing the enriched preparation to stimulate collagen production, support skin renewal, or promote hair restoration.

PRF at Aesthetic Medicine Sydney is distinguished by its slower, sustained release of growth factors facilitated by a natural fibrin matrix structure, along with higher concentrations of white blood cells and stem cells compared to traditional PRP, providing more comprehensive regenerative potential.

Your Treatment Process

Both PRP and PRF treatments follow a carefully controlled protocol:

  I.  A small blood sample is collected by our trained practitioners in a safe, sterile environment

  II.  The sample is processed using our clinic's advanced centrifuge to separate and concentrate key regenerative components

  III. PRP preparation: Isolates concentrated platelets within the plasma layer through standardised centrifugation

  IV.  PRF preparation: Utilises slower centrifugation without anticoagulants, allowing fibrin, platelets, white blood cells, and stem cells to form a supportive biological matrix

  V.  The concentrated preparation is then precisely administered to your treatment area by our practitioners, or may be combined with microneedling for enhanced dermal delivery and absorption

 

 

 

 

 

Clinical Applications

  •  Facial Rejuvenation - at Aesthetic Medicine Sydney, these treatments may address fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, textural irregularities, and acne scarring, promoting a smoother, more youthful complexion.

  •  Hair Restoration - our PRP and PRF treatments may stimulate follicular activity and support hair density in patients experiencing thinning hair or early-stage hair loss concerns.

  • Periorbital Enhancement

These regenerative therapies may help diminish the appearance of dark circles, under-eye puffiness, hollowing, and fine lines in the delicate eye area.

Your Treatment Timeline

Both PRP and PRF are non-surgical procedures performed comfortably in our clinic. Initial improvements may become noticeable within weeks as cellular regeneration begins, with continued enhancement observed progressively over several months. Optimal results typically develop over 6 to 12 months as collagen remodeling matures.

Temporary side effects may include mild tenderness, swelling, bruising, or minor irritation in the treated area, generally resolving within days. A series of treatment sessions, typically spaced several weeks apart, is often recommended to achieve and maintain optimal outcomes.

Our experienced practitioners design personalized treatment protocols tailored to your unique needs and goals. During your consultation, we will thoroughly assess your concerns, outline potential considerations and risks, and explain realistic outcomes based on your individual clinical evaluation.

FAQ

  • Both therapies offer distinct regenerative characteristics and clinical advantages. PRF's fibrin matrix provides sustained growth factor release and contains higher concentrations of regenerative cells, while PRP offers a well-established treatment approach with predictable outcomes. Your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate option based on your specific concerns, treatment goals, and individual assessment during your consultation.

  • Treatment protocols are highly individualised based on your specific concerns, desired outcomes, and initial response to therapy. Most patients benefit from a series of sessions to achieve optimal regenerative results. Your practitioner will provide a tailored treatment plan and timeline during your consultation.

  • Response timelines vary between individuals due to differences in healing capacity, age, lifestyle factors, and the specific concern being addressed. Many patients notice gradual improvements within weeks, with progressive enhancement continuing over months. Your practitioner will provide a realistic expectations framework during your consultation.

  • As with all medical aesthetic procedures, potential risks and side effects exist. Because PRP and PRF use your own blood components, the risk of allergic reaction is minimal. However, temporary effects such as swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur. At Aesthetic Medicine Sydney, we ensure you're fully informed by thoroughly discussing all relevant considerations, potential reactions, and safety protocols during your consultation.
