“Combination therapy with
hyaluronic acid (HA) injections
and PRP works exceptionally well
together. I theorise that the HA holds
the PRP in place longer and produces
a lovely hydration to the skin, as well
as the long-term improvement in
textural repair,” says Power.
What’s involved?
A PRP treatment is fairly quick,
around 40 minutes all up. The
practitioner will firstly harvest your
own blood growth factors, which
your body would normally use to heal
damaged tissue. To do this, two small
vials of your blood are taken and
placed in a special machine whereby
the platelets are separated from the
blood and then put in a syringe. It
is then re-injected into the target
areas in small amounts with a very
thin needle, so the process involves
minimal discomfort.
There may be some swelling and
bruising at the injection points after
the procedure, however this generally
subsides overnight.
“All our patients are extremely happy
with their results. The good thing
with PRP is you can’t overdo it and it
complements all other treatments – it
can go on top of, before, or after almost
all other available modalities.”
Over time, people who have been
using anti-wrinkle injections (botulinum
toxin) may tend to find they are not
having the effects they are used to
because, for example, their skin elasticity
around their eyes has decreased.
With Regen PRP, these patients are
experiencing a significant difference in
skin texture and all-round rejuvenation.
The results? There is a marked
improvement in skin texture and
skin laxity, as well as a plumpness and
radiance to the skin. PRP also visibly
reduces scarring and stretch marks,
among a virtually endless list
of treatment indications.
In terms of patient feedback, the
numbers speak for themselves. “My
clients have a 94 percent re-book
rate, so I’d rate that as exceptional
feedback,” Power concludes. CBM

Results with
Regen PRP
Results are gradual, taking about
two to three months for full effects
to become clearly visible, however,
a significant improvement in skin
texture, tone and hydration is usually
visible within a few weeks.
“You don’t see results immediately,
but as the treatment takes effect
you suddenly receive a lot of
comments about your skin being
beautiful,” says Power.
“If you want to maintain your level
of skin health and condition, you
should have a ‘booster’ shot every
nine to 12 months. If you want a
slight improvement building from
your initial treatment then sixmonthly
intervals work well, and if
you are looking for continual small
improvements all the time, every three
to four months is optimal,” she says.
