PRP Skin Treatment in Melbourne
PRP is generally used across the face, with the under-eye area being a common area of interest.
Because it draws on your own blood, a PRP skin treatment Melbourne clients ask about is often considered by people looking for an approach that supports the skin's own processes.
As with any treatment, suitability depends on the individual, which is why your nurse will assess your skin rather than recommending PRP based on a single concern alone.
The under-eye area has some of the thinnest skin on the face, which is why changes in texture, fine lines and skin quality can become particularly noticeable here.
PRP under-eye treatments are used with the aim of supporting the quality and condition of this delicate skin, rather than adding volume. For some people, this makes it worth considering for the eye area, particularly where the concern relates to skin quality rather than significant hollowing.
It is important to understand that not every under-eye concern is a skin-quality concern. Hollowness, pigmentation, fluid retention and changes in facial structure can all contribute to how the area looks. Where volume loss is the main cause, facial volume loss treatment may be more appropriate. If PRP is not likely to address the main cause of your concern, we will tell you.
Safety Considerations
Because PRP uses your own blood, it carries a different risk profile than injectables made from synthetic or non-autologous products. PRP remains an injectable treatment, however, and carries the risks common to any injection.
The most frequent effects are temporary and may include bruising, swelling, redness and tenderness at the injection sites. As with any injection, there is also a rare risk of infection, which is why treatment must be carried out in a clinical setting by a qualified practitioner.
PRP is not suitable for everyone. It may not be appropriate for people with low platelet counts, an active infection, or those taking blood-thinning medication, among other contraindications.
Suitability is assessed individually, and all treatment at Medical Aesthetic is provided by AHPRA-registered practitioners.
Combining PRP with Other Skin Treatments
PRP can be performed as a standalone treatment. In some cases, however, it may form part of a broader skin plan.
For example, we may discuss Morpheus8 where concerns such as skin texture and laxity would benefit from a different treatment mechanism, or Rejuran skin treatment as another approach to supporting skin quality.
There is no standard combination that is right for everyone. The timing and order of PRP injections are important, and we build plans according to the skin in front of us.
PRP and Hormonal Skin Changes
Skin does not age at the same rate for everyone. Changes in hormones, particularly around perimenopause and menopause skin care, can coincide with noticeable changes in skin hydration, elasticity, thickness and collagen.
If these changes are part of a broader shift in your skin, we may look beyond a single treatment and consider how PRP fits into a long-term skin plan.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment at Medical Aesthetic
At Medical Aesthetic, our approach is based on assessment first and treatment second. Our team of registered nurses and clinicians takes the time to understand your concerns and goals, and to thoroughly assess your skin before recommending any treatment.
We are honest about where PRP fits. We regard it as a supportive option rather than a replacement for more established, clinically indicated treatments. Sometimes it is an appropriate, gentler starting point; at other times, a different approach will achieve more, and we will tell you so.
If you are considering PRP, or a broader skin plan, book a complimentary consultation with our team to discuss whether PRP is appropriate for you.
