An anaesthetic cream may be applied to your treatment area approximately 45 minutes prior to the procedure to ensure comfort. Your blood will be carefully drawn, enough to have ample PRP for the treatment and spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from the red blood cells. The PRP is then extracted and prepared to be injected into your skin. PRP is administered through small needles into the top layers of the skin. The application of PRP takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. At Inigo Cosmetic, we use the V2 injector which is one of the only TGA registered injecting devices on the market. It features five to nine micro-needles that penetrate the skin at once, allowing for uniform depth and spacing of injections. After injecting, a healing recovery mask is applied and massaged with chilled globes. A serum is then applied to complement the results of the PRP treatment. With any cosmetic injectable treatment comes risks. You can expect to be slightly red, swollen, bumpy and bruised in the treatment area. These side effects are temporary and will subside within a week or two.

Results may be visible from two weeks post-treatment and may continue to improve over the next couple of months as new collagen and elastin is produced. The recommended treatment protocol involves at least three treatments every three to four weeks, followed by maintenance treatments every six to twelve months.
