How does fat grafting with PRP improve results, and is it available in Singapore?

Doctor's Answer

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is only allowed in Singapore for Sports Medicine/Joint conditions like Acute Ligament and Tendon injuries.

This being said, Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is used in many developed countries for Cosmetic/Aesthetic/Plastic Surgery treatments as it is believed to enhance the recovery and results of these treatments.

There is recent evidence that PRP might improve the results of Fat grafting. As a matter of interest, Platelet rich plasma (PRP) has also been used overseas to enhance the results of Fractional Lasers for Acne Scars Resurfacing (2017).

Platelet rich plasma is also proven to be effective for treatment of hair loss (androgenic alopecia) However, PRP is not approved in Singapore for hair loss treatment yet. For other regenerative medicine treatments, you might want to consider Regenera Activa, which uses autologous micro-grafts.

Hope that this helps!

Warmest regards,

Dr Justin Boey
