PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, which is blood plasma containing a high concentration of platelets, also known as thrombocytes. PRP can help regenerate and revitalise damaged tissue. PRP has been proven to:

• Improve skin health and appearance
• Reduce shallow wrinkles and pigmentation
• Improve skin collagen, elastin and texture
• Non-surgical, minimal discomfort and downtime

After your first treatment, the platelets will stimulate the growth factors which will assist with collagen growth, elastin and blood supply to the treated area, over the next few weeks. This will continue to improve over the next few months.

How many treatments you will need will depend on you individually. It is generally recommended that you have 2-3 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart. This will be discussed with your treating health practitioner during your consultation.

PRP is generally tolerated well. The most common side effects include local irritation/redness and mild to moderate swelling.

Alocuro PRP Is a TGA approved platelet, concentrating medical device that produces a precise density gradient separation. After centrifugation, the platelet layer is visible and via a patented extraction process the majority of platelets available in the whole blood sample can be collected within the PRP syringe.

Alocuro’s main point of difference is the ability to customize the PRP in terms of platelet concentration, leukocyte concentration and total PRP (plasma) volume collected from one system.
