Eyes or hair

Introduction:

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy for the eyes or scalp is a refined application of regenerative medicine designed to address specific, stubborn concerns. The skin around the eyes is exceptionally thin and prone to ageing, while hair follicles can become dormant due to stress or genetics. This treatment isolates the healing potential within your own blood—specifically the growth-factor-rich platelets—and delivers it precisely where it is needed most. Whether smoothing the delicate periorbital area or stimulating the scalp to combat thinning, PRP offers a completely natural, biocompatible solution that revitalises from the cellular level up.

Benefits:

For the Eyes:

• Brightens Dark Circles: Thickens the dermis to reduce the transparency that makes blood vessels visible, lightening dark under-eye shadows.
• Smooths Fine Lines: Stimulates collagen and elastin to soften “crow’s feet” and crepey skin texture.
• Restores Volume: Improves skin density, reducing the hollow, tired look often associated with ageing.

For Hair Restoration:

• Stimulates Growth: Awakens dormant hair follicles and prolongs the active growth phase (anagen) of the hair cycle.
• Increases Density: Encourages the growth of thicker, healthier hair shafts, improving overall volume.
• Improves Scalp Health: Increases blood supply to the follicle, creating an optimal environment for hair retention.

Procedure:

1. Bespoke Consultation: Your journey begins with a private assessment. Our specialist will evaluate your specific concern—be it under-eye hollows or hair thinning—to ensure PRP is the most effective pathway for your goals.
2. Collection & Preparation: A small sample of blood is drawn from your arm in a sterile environment. This is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the “liquid gold”—the platelet-rich plasma.
3. Targeted Application: ○ Eyes: After applying a numbing cream, the PRP is gently injected into the delicate under-eye area using ultra-fine needles or a cannula to minimise bruising.

○ Hair: The PRP is injected directly into the scalp at the level of the hair root. This may be followed by microneedling to further enhance absorption and stimulation.

1. Completion: The procedure is swift, typically taking 45-60 minutes. You will receive tailored advice to maximise the treatment’s efficacy.

Contraindications and Safety:

As an autologous treatment (using your own cells), the risk of allergic reaction is virtually non-existent. However, strictly adhering to medical safety, this treatment is not suitable for

clients who:

• Have active infections or skin diseases on the scalp or face.
• Suffer from platelet dysfunction syndromes, critical thrombocytopenia, or hemodynamic instability.
• Are undergoing chemotherapy (for hair treatments, timing is crucial).
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Have severe liver disease or are on anticoagulant therapy.

Our clinic in Granard upholds the highest standards of hygiene and clinical excellence, ensuring a safe and luxurious experience.

Results and Aftercare:

PRP is a biological process that requires patience as your body repairs itself.

• Eyes: You may see an improvement in skin texture and brightness within 2-3 weeks, with collagen-building results peaking at 3 months.
• Hair: Reduction in hair shedding is often the first sign of success, followed by new growth and increased thickness appearing after the third or fourth session.

To ensure optimal results:

• Avoid anti-inflammatory medication (like Ibuprofen) for 1 week prior and post-treatment, as inflammation is a necessary part of the healing trigger.
• Do not wash your hair or apply makeup to the eyes for 12-24 hours.
• Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and steam rooms for 48 hours.
• Sun protection is essential: Wear sunglasses or a hat to protect the treated areas from UV exposure.
• For hair treatments, a course of 3-6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended for visible restoration.
