PRP (PLATELET RICH PLASMA)
PRP therapy for the skin involves using the concentrated platelets from your blood to promote collagen production and stimulate skin rejuvenation. The growth factors released by the platelets help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin tone and appearance. PRP can also be effective in treating certain skin conditions like acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. The procedure typically involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to obtain the PRP, and then injecting or applying it onto the skin. PRP therapy for hair loss aims to stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness and density. The growth factors present in PRP promote the activity of hair follicles and increase blood supply to the scalp, which can enhance the hair growth cycle. PRP is injected directly into the scalp, targeting areas of thinning hair or areas affected by hair loss. The procedure can help slow down hair loss and potentially regrow hair in some cases.

1. Consultation: Schedule a consultation. Discuss your goals, medical history, medications, allergies, and any underlying health conditions to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
2. Avoid Blood Thinners: A few days before the treatment, avoid taking medications and supplements that can thin the blood, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and fish oil. These may increase the risk of bleeding and bruising during the treatment.
3. Hydration: Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to the treatment. Hydrated skin improves the effectiveness of PRP treatments.
4. Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimise sun exposure and protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Sunburn may affect the efficacy of the treatment.
5. Skincare Routine: Follow a gentle skincare routine leading up to the treatment. Avoid using harsh or abrasive products that may irritate the skin.
1. Follow Instructions: Carefully follow the post-care instructions provided by your Browns & Co specialist . These instructions may vary depending on the specific treatment and individual circumstances.
2. Protect the Treated Area: Avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure to reduce the risk of infection or irritation.
3. Sun Protection: Protect your skin from direct sun exposure for at least a week following the treatment. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, wear a wide-brimmed hat, and use protective clothing to shield your skin from the sun’s harmful rays.
4. Avoid Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup or other skincare products to the treated area for at least 24 hours post-treatment. This allows the skin to heal and reduces the risk of clogged pores or irritation.
5. Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser to cleanse your face or scalp. Avoid using exfoliating products or harsh cleansers that may irritate the treated area.
6. Moisturise: Keep the treated area moisturised to help soothe the skin. Use a gentle, hydrating moisturiser recommended by your specialist.
