The Paragon Effect – Lynn's experience with PRP Therapy (Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy)
This time in The Paragon Effect, we’ll be highlighting how a relatively new treatment to the clinic, Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP), has positively impacted Lynn who is a patient of Dr. Aran’s.
Before embarking on her treatment plan Lynn stated: “I wanted a more youthful appearance but also wanted subtle results. I first attended Dr. Aran after seeing his great results on Instagram and instantly hit it off with him, feeling very comfortable to have treatment with him.”
Lynn decided to have PRP treatment to improve her skin quality, texture, glow and improve collagen production to rejuvenate the skin.
So, let’s look at her journey with us:
Consultation
- Lynn had her first appointment in April 2021 with no previous aesthetic treatments
- She stated that she felt it was time to think about aesthetics treatments as had never considered them before
- Lynn discovered Paragon Aesthetics after following Dr. Aran on Instagram and had followed him for a while before deciding to book a consultation
Presenting complaints
- Lynn stated she looked ‘tired’ all the time
- She felt that her lower face was heavy
- Lynn believed her skin quality was lacking and wanted to improve this
- Lynn wanted to look and feel fresh
Treatment process
- Initial consultation in clinic
- Dr. Aran carried out a full-face assessment during consultation
- Treatment was planned over a series of appointments and follow-ups planned too
Facial assessment determined by Dr. Aran
- Lines at rest in upper face
- Skin crepiness present with loss of volume
- Loss of volume from Lips
Treatment plan
After a discussion with Dr. Aran about the process of facial ageing and the importance of a holistic approach, Lynn understood the importance of treating the face as a whole but wanted a subtle natural looking result and went ahead on a treatment plan of:
- Appointment 1 – initial consultation
- Appointment 2 – PRP session 1
- Appointment 3 – PRP session 2
- Appointment 4 – PRP session 3 and 0.7ml lip filler
- Appointment 5 – anti wrinkle treatment
- Appointment 6 – review of anti-wrinkle treatment and PRP
PRP Therapy is a gradual treatment as it encourages collagen production and therefore requires three sessions over a 12 week period, with the results continuing to improve afterwards. Once this was complete, a course of anti-wrinkle treatment for upper face lines and 0.7ml filler to improve lip volume and shape was provided.

After treatment
As you can see Lynn’s skin texture has dramatically improved, the crepiness and fine lines have been reduced ultimately restoring volume to the face, creating a glowing appearance.
