PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP) TREATMENTS

WHAT IS PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP)?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Skin rejuvenation using your own cells.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is the name given to blood plasma with a high concentration of platelets that contains doses of bioactive proteins that are critical in the repair and regeneration of tissues. In order to extract these platelets, a small amount of blood is drawn from the body and immediately undergoes centrifugation, which separates out red blood cells, which carry oxygen, and the platelet and plasma. The platelets with the plasma have all of the healing agents. Once the separation is done, the platelet-rich plasma is extracted and can then be injected or micro-needled back into the patient’s injured area. 

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) obtained from your blood contains platelets which work in the body to clog up cuts, tears and injuries. Platelets also have growth factors on the surface which stimulate collagen production when injected into the skin. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) has been used in many medical procedures over the years, and its safety is well established. PRP has been used for facial rejuvenation since 2006 in the UK, Europe, Japan, and Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • What exactly is PRP?

    PRP is plasma with many more platelets than what is typically found in blood. The concentration of platelets — and, thereby, the concentration of growth factors — can be 5 to 10 times greater (or richer) than usual. To develop a PRP preparation, blood must first be drawn from a patient.


    How long will the treatment take?

    Each area can vairy depending on size? but roughly 

    45-60 minutes each treatment and usually a course of three is reccomended, maybe more with hair resoration? Normally 4-6 weeks apart, with top ups at 6-24 months.

  • What does a PRP facial do?

    A PRP facial rejuvenation, also known as a vampire facial, is an advanced skincare treatment method that harnesses your body's own natural power to heal itself. It is often called a vampire facial because it involves drawing your blood.


    Microneedling along with injection points can also be used to place the plasma directly to the areas needed. Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that’s primarily used to minimize the signs of aging stimulating collagen.


    The treated areas will be red on the day and gradually subside. Make up can be applied on the next day.


    To achieve the best outcome, treatment might be delivered via monthly injections for three consecutive months. After such care, results typically last a minimum of nine to 18 months. However, the benefits can last as long as two years depending on aging, sun exposure, and genetics.

  • Does PRP get rid of wrinkles?

    Injected just below the surface of the skin, PRP Injections can help reverse the signs of aging in the skin, including eliminating or improving the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin.

  • Is PRP better than Botox?

    Botox works to relax the facial muscles so that you can be left with smoother skin without wrinkles and fine lines. PRP, on the other hand, uses your own blood to stimulate the skin on your face so that new, healthier skin cells can grow.

  • Does PRP facial hurt?

    If you decide to have a PRP facial, prepare to have your blood drawn. You can also expect some pain and slight post-treatment bruising from the microneedling. A topical anesthetic can be applied to help with any discomfort.

    Does PRP really work for hair?

    PRP consists of a large number of proteins and growth factor mediums in it.

  • How long does it take for PRP to work on hair?

    PRP hair restoration produces noticeable results after just four to six weeks. However, it may be approximately 3.5 months before you see the results you were looking for. Due to the hair growth cycle, ideal results can take up to three sessions spaced one month apart to become apparent.

  • What is the after care?

    Avoid touching or apply anything on the treated area for 12 hours. It’s advised to apply moisturiser regularly after 12 hours as the skin could be come dry and flaky during the first 2-3 days. Apply sunscreen and avoid strong sun exposure in the first week after the treatment.
