What is PRP and how does it work ?

PRP has become a highly sought-after non-surgical procedure for facial and skin rejuvenation. PRP therapy is a treatment which uses your own blood platelets to stimulate new cell growth, helping to improve your complexion, skin texture and to restore lost facial volume.

We take your blood and spin it in a centrifuge, which enables the separation of the blood cells from your plasma and platelets. We harvest the concentrated platelets (PRP) which is then re-injected into the skin to stimulate collagen and new skin cells.

What is the procedure?

Depending on how many areas you want to get treated, a volume of blood will be taken. This is usually between 30 to 60 ml. Your blood is then placed in a centrifuge for around10 – 15 minutes. Once your cells have separated, the rich platelets are extracted and injected into the skin where rejuvenation is requested.

What should you expect post treatment?

Most people will experience some mild to moderate swelling in the area of treatment, redness or heat, which are all common side effects and are part of the activation of your platelets. Because a volume of fluid has to be administered, swelling is inevitable. Bruising can occur and may take several days to disappear.

How soon will I see results?

Most patients will require three treatments at four to six week intervals. The first thing people notice is an improvement in skin turgor and elasticity. Collagen production can take up to three months to occur and the results can differ depending on the individual. Because the injected product is 100% your own, factors such as smoking, stress and illness can effect results. A series of three treatments can yield results for up to two years.

Are there any reasons why I can’t have PRP therapy?

Like the majority of cosmetic procedures, women who are pregnant, breast-feeding or trying to conceive are not candidates. This treatment is not recommended in people on anti-coagulation treatment, autoimmune conditions, have suffered any type of cancer or who have certain implants in the treatment area. Your past and present medical history, as well as your past cosmetic history will be assessed to determine whether you are a good candidate for this procedure.
