SKIN REJUVENATION | HAIR RESTORATION | BIOFILLER

  • PRP Concentration

    Our Alocuro PRP protocol achieves platelet concentrations up to 10 times baseline.

  • Clinically Proven

    More than 15,000 research publications have proven the regenerative benefits from PRP.

  • Safety

    The procedure is provided under stringent guidelines to provide a medical procedure with minimal risk of complications.

When PRP is injected back into the skin, it initiates a local stem cell response. In the weeks and months following treatment these stem cells help to form new collagen structure and blood vessels, repair and regenerate damaged skin, and help slow and reverse the signs of aging, creating healthy skin that looks refreshed and rejuvenated.

SKIN REJUVENATION

PRP for Skin Rejuvenation has been scientifically proven to improve the following:

Improve the overall health, tone and elasticity of the skin

Reduce shallow wrinkles and lines

Minimise appearance of scars

Minimise the visible signs of aged and sun damaged skin

Promote more even skin tone and texture

Thicken and improve the quality of thinning skin or the crepiness of ageing skin

PRP SKIN REJUVENTATION FAQS

  • Immediately after the procedure, the injected skin may feel tighter than usual, with lines / wrinkles appearing minimized. This initial fullness from the plasma and subtle swelling in response to the platelet-initiated regeneration process will subside and skin will return to normal appearance within 4 days.

    However, the platelet-released growth factors will continue to work within the skin to produce new skin cells and blood supply over the next 6 weeks. Typically, 3 weeks after treatment an overall improvement in skin hydration, texture and tone can be seen. Between 3 and 6 weeks, the new skin cells produce new collagen and elastin making the overall structure of the skin healthier and stronger which improves the overall skin appearance.

    Reduction of fine lines and improvements to skin elasticity will continue for several months. Clinical research has demonstrated that the beneficial effects of cosmetic PRP can last 12 months to 2 years.

  • Individual protocols vary dependent upon each patient’s baseline condition. Published research and our results have shown that the best results are achieved when a series of 3 treatments are performed 4 weeks apart.

    Patients will return for a single ‘top-up’ treatment when they start to notice their skin health declining.

  • Microneedling can be performed in conjunction with a PRP procedure; however, the Alocuro PRP protocol uses the platelet-poor plasma (PPP) for micro needling and then the high platelet concentration PRP is injected with a very fine and short needle. This protocol has been developed based on published evidence and after development with our large medical practitioner network.

  • The under-eye area is a difficult area to treat and improve. We can treat the dynamic smile lines with anti-wrinkle neurotoxin injections, but the lines that remain at rest under the eyes don’t benefit from anti-wrinkle product. Filler can be used in the cheeks, and in some cases can be used in the tear troughs; but this technique does not improve the lax and fragile skin under the eyes or solve the under-eye darkness, which bothers many patients. This is an area where PRP really excels as the whole.

    Under-eye area can be safely treated as well as the upper lid to improve fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and also thicken the crepey under eye skin.

When PRP is injected into the scalp the application of PRP causes miniaturized hair follicles to become healthier and larger, producing more robust hair growth. PRP activates follicular progenitor cells (adult stem cells) and promotes angiogenesis and localised cell growth. PRP is an effective treatment for both male and female pattern hair loss and some autoimmune hair loss disorders.

HAIR RESTORATION

PRP for hair restoration has been scientifically proven to improve the following

Target the growth phase of the hair cycle

Improve scalp health

Increase hair count, health and thickness

Stabilise hair loss

Improve blood supply and nutrients to the area

Rejuvenate dormant hair follicles

HAIR RESTORATION FAQS

  • There have been over 800 research studies to assess if PRP is effective for male and female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) and autoimmune hair loss disorders.

    The studies have demonstrated that PRP has can improve the growth phase of the hair cycle, improve scalp health, and increase hair count, health and thickness-in all hair loss stages for both males and females at 6-9 months after PRP treatment. However, results are based on patient age and length of time since first hair loss.

  • Individual protocols vary dependent upon each patient’s baseline condition. Published research and our results have shown that the best results are achieved when a series of 3 treatments are performed 4 weeks apart.

    Patients will return for a single ‘top-up’ treatment when they start to maintain hair growth.

  • After the PRP application to the skin, it is recommended not to wash your hair for at least 4 hours post-procedure.

    If you require pain relief, please use Panadol or Panadeine only(dose as usual for you)

    Please do not use any anti-inflammatory medication(eg: Nurofen)or topical gel(eg: Voltaren)for 7 days post procedure

    Please do not take any oral steroids such as Prednisone for 7 days post procedure

    For patients who regularly take aspirin, you may resume it 48 hours after the procedure, unless otherwise directed by the attending Doctor for your procedure

BioFiller is an advanced Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) procedure, utilises the latest technology to provide a natural alternative to Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers and has demonstrated optimal biomechanical and bioactive properties for soft tissue restoration and regeneration from a single procedure.

BIOFILLER

BioFiller has been scientifically proven to improve the following:

Smooth facial folds and wrinkles

Add volume and subtly contour facial features

Better tolerated than hyaluronic acid dermal fillers

A ‘biological youth reset’ for the tissues the product comes into contact with

Offers cellular regeneration while providing longer-term shape and volume

Maintains normal dynamic facial activity

BIOFILLER FAQS

  • BioFiller is injected under the skin to target under skin wrinkles and folds-which are lifted up and smoothed out for a fresher but natural appearance. The volume restoration results can be seen immediately, and the longer-term regeneration process commences at the time of injection. The injection component of the procedure takes less than 30 minutes and is usually well tolerated by most patients and with minimal complications for the outcome achieved.

  • During the injections, patients usually experience a feeling of subtle tingling and tenderness, followed by increased warmth, pinkness/redness of skin over the application site.

    You will also likely experience mild swelling of the treated area as part of your body’s response to the regenerative power of the injected BioFiller. This will last for about 24-48hours; ice or cold compresses can be applied to reduce swelling if required.

  • Patient response to the powerful regeneration properties of the BioFiller is varied. Some patients can have swelling for 3 days afterthe procedure as part of the first phase of regeneration, while other patients will have only subtle fullness. If the tear trough area is injected, you may have subtle swelling in the area below your eyes for up to 3 days, so we recommend important events are not scheduled within 1 week of Biofiller procedure, to allow the swelling to settle.
