Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a ground-breaking regenerative modality used to treat a variety of conditions including injury and pain across many health disciplines, and used to promote healing and new tissue growth. PRP treatments are showing amazing promise in the world of medical cosmetics to target the visible signs of aging. Platelet-rich plasma uses the patient’s own blood, reinjected, to activate the body’s natural healing process and repair damaged skin tissues. Genesis leverages the technology of the WorldPRP™ innovative solution to provide the transformational results that PRP can offer for skin rejuvenation.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is ideal for almost everyone as it makes use of your own plasma and activates your body’s own healing response. If you are over 18 and in good health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, do not have an active infection or a blood clotting disorder, speak with your practitioner about your suitability for PRP therapy and the benefits it can provide. PRP can be used to treat a variety of concerns including:
Your practitioner will draw a small amount of blood that is processed in a centrifuge so that only enriched cells or blood platelets remain. This platelet-concentration is then injected back into the dermis layer of your skin to activate your body’s healing response, thereby stimulating collagen production, revascularization, and tissue repair. These effects will gradually improve skin vitality and texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and facilitate skin rejuvenation.
Your practitioner will draw a small sample of blood to be processed into the platelet-rich plasma solution. Using microneedling techniques or a syringe, the highly concentrated is absorbed into the skin. A topical numbing agent can be used to increase comfort during treatment. There is very little risk of reaction or infection because the plasma is your own blood. You may experience some redness and swelling as a natural healing response after treatment and some patients experience mild irritation and skin flaking in the first week. Most side effects will resolve within a couple of days and a smooth texture and healthy glow will be revealed. The results of a PRP treatment are not permanent and your practitioner can recommend the ideal maintenance schedule for you.

The pain is subjective and patient specific. PRP is injected using an insulin syringe or injection gun, and both are generally well tolerated. For sensitive individuals, we apply numbing gel or topical anaesthetic one hour prior to the procedure which reduces the pain sensation considerably.
PRP therapy can be repeated every 1-2 months and usually 3 sittings are sufficient, though some patients may require maintenance therapy once a year or more frequently depending upon the care and condition of their skin. After approximately 3 weeks you will notice the improvement in texture and complexion of your skin; wrinkles start disappearing, scars and pores are tightened, and dark under eye circles are brightened.
The most common side effects associated with PRP injections are mild to moderate swelling and redness. PRP used for aesthetic procedures are safe for most individuals. There are very few contraindications with PRP injections, but speak to your skin care practitioner to determine if PRP therapy is right for you.
