Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)

About Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy for Facial Rejuvenation

In recent years, doctors have learned that the body has the ability to heal itself. Platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) is a form of regenerative medicine that can harness those abilities and amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue.

PRP has been used in the medical industry to treat wounds and musculoskeletal injuries and now become widely recognised in aesthetic medicine for facial, hair and sexual rejuvenation.

To develop a PRP preparation a small blood sample is taken from the arm of the patients and put through a centrifuge which separates the plasma from the blood. The plasma contains platelets which are rich in growth factors that stimulate cells
to repair and regenerate the area injected into.

PRP for facial rejuvenation

PRP is a collagen stimulating and anti-ageing treatment where your own cells are used to stimulate skin regeneration, improving your skin tone and texture, leaving you with a more youthful and glowing skin. PRP is injected into your face using various techniques depending on the clinical symptoms and skin condition. PRP is a safe, non-invasive treatment that can be used to treat:

  • fine lines and wrinkles
  • acne scars
  • tear trough
  • dark under eye circles
  • uneven skintone

PRP treatment takes 45 minutes with no downtime or risk of allergies. It is recommended to have a course of 3 treatments 4-6 weeks apart.
