PRP Facial Rejuvenation (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial rejuvenation using the patient's own blood-derived growth factors to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and address fine lines, uneven tone, and early volume loss. A small blood draw is centrifuged to concentrate platelets before topical or intradermal application. Suitable for the face, neck, and under-eyes. Often combined with microneedling for enhanced absorption.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) facial rejuvenation at Subiaco Cosmetic Medicine in Perth uses the patient's own concentrated growth factors to stimulate the skin's natural regenerative processes. Dr Nik Davies — who holds FRACGP and a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Aesthetics — has trained clinicians in advanced injection and biostimulation techniques across Australia. PRP is produced by drawing a small volume of the patient's blood (typically 10–20 mL), placing it in a sterile centrifuge that separates the blood components by density, and collecting the platelet-rich buffy coat layer. The resulting PRP contains platelet concentrations three to five times higher than baseline whole blood, along with fibrin scaffolding and a complex of growth factors including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). When reintroduced into the skin via microinjections (mesotherapy technique) or topically following microneedling channel creation, these growth factors signal fibroblasts to synthesise new collagen and elastin, promote angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) that improves tissue perfusion, and modulate the local inflammatory and healing environment to encourage tissue renewal. Treated conditions at the Subiaco clinic include fine lines and skin texture irregularities, under-eye hollowing and dark circles (periorbital rejuvenation), early volume loss and skin dullness, and general facial skin quality improvement. Because PRP uses the patient's own biological material, there is no risk of allergic reaction or immune rejection — making it suitable for patients who prefer biologically derived treatments. Perth and Western Australian patients benefit from the procedure's suitability for the active, sun-exposed lifestyle of the region, where cumulative UV damage drives accelerated skin ageing. Sessions typically take 45–60 minutes including the blood draw, centrifugation, and treatment. A course of two to three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is commonly recommended for optimal results.
