Treatments

RF microneedling uses fine needles to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy at selected depths within the skin.

At Plasma Healthcare, Scarlet S RF microneedling may be combined with PRP/PRF where clinically appropriate. The treatment may be considered for concerns involving skin texture, acne scarring, facial pores, fine lines, skin laxity or selected scalp concerns.

Facial redness (erythema) may persist for up to 72 hours, but usually lasts only a few hours for most patients.

Redness, swelling, sensitivity, tenderness and temporary changes to the treatment area may occur. Recovery differs between patients.

Platelet-rich plasma / fibrin is prepared from a sample of the patient’s own blood. Centrifugation separates and concentrates the platelet-containing portion of the blood before it is applied or administered to the selected treatment area.

PRP / PRF skin treatments may be considered for concerns involving skin texture, tone, fine lines or general skin quality. The treatment method may differ depending on the area and the patient’s needs.

Possible temporary effects may include redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising or discomfort. 

Other risks can occur and will be discussed before treatment.

Individual outcomes vary.

PRP / PRF may be used as part of a treatment plan for suitable patients experiencing certain forms of hair thinning or hair loss.

The prepared PRP / PRF is administered to selected areas of the scalp. Treatment suitability can depend on the underlying cause and stage of hair loss, the health of the remaining follicles and the patient’s broader medical history.

PRP / PRF is not suitable for every type of hair loss. An assessment may be required to determine whether further medical investigation or another treatment option would be more appropriate.

A copy of any recent blood pathology would be useful to assess for any underlying cause.

PRF bio-filler is a blood-derived material prepared from the patient’s own plasma.

Following centrifugation, selected plasma components undergo a controlled heating and cooling process. This creates a thicker, gel-like material rather than liquid PRP.

PRF bio-filler may be considered for selected areas where additional structural support or improvements in skin quality are sought. It is not identical to conventional dermal filler, and the expected effect, duration and suitability should be discussed during consultation.

Results and longevity vary between patients.

For patients with acute or chronic joint pain, PRP / PRF is one potential treatment option, which concentrates healing factors from your own blood to reduce inflammation and repair tissue.

It works via lowering inflammation, which helps reduce the breakdown of cartilage within joints, and releases proteins and other growth factors that signal damaged cells to repair themselves.

A  medical consultation is required before treatment,  and a copy of your recent blood pathology is needed to assess whether this treatment is suitable for you.

The Facial Glow Peel is a professional resurfacing treatment containing ingredients such as trichloroacetic acid, lactobionic acid, salicylic acid, vitamins and NAD+.

It may be considered for concerns such as dullness, rough texture, uneven tone or selected pigmentation concerns.

Chemical peels can cause redness, peeling, dryness, sensitivity and temporary changes in pigmentation. The appropriate strength and protocol will depend on the patient’s skin, treatment history and individual risk factors.

Mole mapping combines a comprehensive skin check with digital imaging to create a photographic record of moles and other skin spots. At Plasma Healthcare, Dr Liu uses MoleMax imaging to examine and document areas that may require closer monitoring.

High-definition images can be used to establish a baseline and compared with photographs taken at future appointments, helping Dr Liu assess whether a mole or spot has changed over time. This may be particularly useful for people with multiple moles, unusual-looking moles, significant sun exposure, or spots that are new or changing. The MoleMax materials you provided specifically describe total body mapping and photographic comparison of new or changing spots over time.

Mole mapping supports Dr Liu’s clinical assessment by creating a visual record of the skin for comparison over time. If a mole or spot requires closer attention, Dr Liu can advise on appropriate monitoring, further investigation or specialist referral.
