PRP Therapy

Why PRP Therapy is a Miracle Treatment

PRP therapy, more commonly known as a ‘vampire facial’ rose to fame in Hollywood for its regenerative superpowers. While most Hollywood-famous cosmetic treatments induce a fair amount of scepticism from the rest of the world, PRP therapy is a treatment that our medical team stands behind. Here’s why.

 

How PRP Therapy Works

The PRP therapy process is initiated by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood. The blood is passed through a centrifuge to separate the platelet rich plasma (PRP) from other components, after which, the PRP is injected back into the skin. Doing so encourages natural collagen growth in the patient’s skin – making it look rejuvenated and refreshed.

And given that PRP therapy uses the beneficial functions of the patient’s own platelets, the chance of an allergic reaction is very low compared to other cosmetic treatments.

 

Wrinkle Removal with PRP Therapy

Because plasma injections work to stimulate collagen production beneath the skin, they are highly effective at removing and minimising wrinkles. Collagen is the essential component that makes our skin look youthful and plump, so with an excess of collagen, wrinkles are far less visible. PRP therapy is particularly effective at reducing the appearance of crow’s feet and other fine lines around the eyes or mouth.

 

Cosmetic Benefits of PRP Therapy

Besides reducing the appearance of wrinkles, PRP therapy is also effective at targeting the following cosmetic concerns;

  • Dull skin
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Scarring (including scarring from acne)
  • Loose skin
  • Dark circles

If you have any other cosmetic concerns not listed above, get in touch with our team to discuss the best possible treatment.

 

PRP Therapy to Reduce Pain

While PRP treatments are most often used for cosmetic purposes, platelet rich plasma is also effective at treating arthritis pain. PRP can be injected into the site of pain, such as your knees, to harness your body’s own healing powers and reduce pain significantly. To find out whether you’re a suitable candidate for such treatments, contact our medical team.

 

What to Expect During a Treatment

Plasma treatments are completed in-office and usually take about 30-40 minutes. Before we commence the treatment, a numbing cream will be applied to your face, making the procedure fairly painless throughout. There may be some bruising and swelling within the first 3-4 days after the treatment, but this will resolve itself quickly. After your skin heals, the radiant effects of a PRP treatment can last for 2-3 years.

chemical peels

How Chemical Peels Make Your Skin Look Radiant

Over the past few years, chemical peels have become the talk of the town amongst anti-ageing treatments. And there’s a good reason why. These medical-grade skin treatments are extremely effective at treating a myriad of cosmetic skin concerns. Here’s how they work to leave your skin feeling young and radiant.

 

How Do Chemical Peels Work?

Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin. Doing so causes the outer layer of the skin to exfoliate, and peel off within a day or two. The wound healing process that follows begins to stimulate connective tissue and new collagen, which allows the skin to develop a more even colour and texture. Essentially, chemical peels rid your skin of its damaged appearance, in place of fresh and rejuvenated new skin.

What should you expect from a chemical peel treatment? Firstly, the treated area is thoroughly cleansed in preparation for the treatment. Then, the chemical solution is applied to your skin and left in place for roughly 10-20 minutes. Full recovery of the skin can take anywhere between 7-14 days, depending on the strength of the peel you choose.

 

What Issues Can a Chemical Peel Target?

Chemical peels are effective at targeting cosmetic issues such as acne scars, pigmentation, sun spots, fine lines (like smoker’s lines), freckles, discolouration, uneven skin tone and dark circles under the eyes. Across the board, chemical peels help the skin to appear more even in texture and tone. The final result is a radiant, and more youthful appearance of the skin.

Chemical peels aren’t limited to cosmetic areas on the face. They can be applied to any are where pigmentation, scarring or uneven skin texture/tone is a concern. Get in touch with our doctors to find out whether your area of concern can undergo treatment by a chemical peel.

 

Do Chemical Peels Hurt?

The sensation that accompanies a chemical peel depends entirely on the strength of the peel. Superficial peels will generally only result in a slight tingling sensation, with the skin feeling sensitive and tight afterwards. Medium and deep peels can often come with stinging sensations during the treatment. Your doctor may decide to administer a low-grade anaesthetic before or during the treatment to ease pain.

Following the treatment, you may feel some discomfort for the first 48 hours as your skin begins to heal. Most patients will apply a soothing aloe vera gel or hydrating moisturiser to alleviate feelings of dryness and sensitivity. Your skin will be susceptible to damage during this time, so we recommend wearing sunscreen and avoiding exfoliators.

Your choice of having a superficial, medium or deep peel will depend on the level of skin damage you’re trying to treat, and the result you’re wishing to achieve. It goes without saying that the deeper the peel, the better the results will be.

Anti Aging Skin Treatment Clinic Logan

Our Most Effective Anti-Ageing Treatment

Vampire facials, snake venom cream, pure gold masks – anti-ageing treatments are getting more outlandish every year. So what do our doctors deem the most effective anti-ageing treatment? Staying out of the sun. It’s easy, safe, affordable and incredibly effective. Keep reading to find out why.

 

What Sun Exposure Does to Your Skin

A study by the World Health Organisation found that 80% of visible ageing signs were due to UV damage from the sun. Only 20% of ageing signs were due to other factors like poor diet, smoking, stress and illness. Sun damage causes a variety of unwanted effects like pigmentation, wrinkles and the reduction of skin elasticity – all of which make us look significantly older.

The same researchers at the World Health Organisation proved their point by comparing a pair of twins in their sixties. One of the women had been exposed to roughly 10 hours more sunlight per week than the other throughout adulthood. When research participants were asked to guess the age of the two women, the results were shocking. The woman who had been exposed to more sunlight appeared 11 years older than her twin sister.

 

How to Protect Your Skin from Sun Damage

Aside from staying out of the sun completely, there are a number of measures you can implement to reduce the level of sun damage to your skin. Firstly, we recommend investing in a high quality facial cream or moisturiser that has SPF50+ protection. Aside from that, hats and protective clothing are equally as effective.

While some people only consider wearing sun protection on days spent at the beach or the park, even a short walk to work requires sunscreen. The cumulative effects of 10 minutes in the sun every day will make a big difference to your skin.

 

Anti-Ageing Treatment to Reverse Sun Damage

If the damage to your skin has already been done, and preventative measures alone aren’t enough, Wellcare Medical Centre offers a number of anti-ageing treatments. For wrinkles, our dermal filler injections work to stimulate collagen beneath the skin. This excess collagen leaves skin looking plump and rejuvenated.

To reduce the appearance of pigmentation and sun spots, chemical peels are extremely effective. Chemical peels remove surface skin cells and force the skin to regenerate, thus targeting surface marks from the sun. This type of forced skin regeneration can also be achieved by way of skin needling treatments. Skin needling involves running a roller of minuscule needles across the skin to force it to heal as refreshed, younger-looking skin.

 

Book in for a Treatment

While anti-ageing treatments like dermal fillers, chemical peels and skin needling sound daunting, they are extremely effective. If you’d like to book in for a consultation to discuss your options, our doctors have years of experience administering anti-ageing treatments. Book a cosmetic appointment now.

We also recommend our patients book in for regular skin checks to ensure the effects of sun damage are not life threatening. For peace of mind, book in for a full-body skin check at Wellcare Medical Centre.
