PRP® Dracula Therapy Hair Loss treatment at Auckland Cosmetic Medicine Clinic - Sapphire Appearance Medicine Clinic

Dr Garsing Wong, trusted international speaker and cosmetic physician, is one of the first doctors to utilise PRP®, Platelet Rich Plasma Skin Rejuvenation Therapy which has been popularised overseas as the "Dracula Therapy". PRP uses your own blood to stimulate your stem cells in your own blood to create new collagen and in this instance to stimulate hair growth.

WHAT IS PRP® Platelet Rich Plasma "Dracula Therapy"?

PRP is not a dermal filler like the popular hyaluronic acid fillers as it does not give you instant results. Instead you can expect subtle results which improve with time giving you a long lasting result. PRP stimulates your skin to make your own collagen, giving you a more natural looking result. A full treatment with PRP Platelet Rich Plasma consist of an average of three treatments over a few months.

It can be used for panfacial restoration, and most patients will experience an improvement in the quality of their skin can be used in areas which were traditionally more difficult to treat such as under your eyes, your chest of decolletage region, horizontal neck lines.

Platelet Rich Plasma can assist with hair regrowth in a safe, natural way by stimulating your own stem cells to make your hair grow. Results of hair regrowth are usually seen after a few months. Repeat treatments are required. If medically appropriate, traditional medications will enhance the result further.
