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 aswell as treat hair loss. Your blood is essentially made up of four components; red blood cells, white blood cells, the plasma and the platelets. We take your blood and spin it in a centrifuge, which enables the separation of the blood cells from your plasma and platelets. This is then re-injected into the skin to stimulate collagen and new skin cells.  PRP harnesses the beneficial functions of the patients own platelets and therefore there is no risk of allergy or rejection of the treatment. The activation of the concentrated platelets in platelet-rich plasma releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces. This significantly enhances the body’s natural healing process.

The platlet rich plasma is the cleanest by product from our blood, with anti inflammatory properties it wakens our stem cells, repairing our fine lines and wrinkles, helping to reverse our ageing skin, which in turn brightens the complexion!

Prior to the treatment a one to one Consultation is completed.

Firstly, a topical anaesthetic is applied to the area that will be treated. Our clinician will draw a small sample of blood. This is then spun in a centrifuge for approximately five minutes to separate the plasma from the other blood particles. Lastly, the platelet rich plasma is then re-injected back into the treatment area, stimulating collagen and elastin production.

PRP can also be successfully used to treat thinning hair and hair loss particularly male pattern baldness. It is important to start treatment early on and whether you are a suitable candidate will be determined during your consultation.   

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.

PRP protocol for skin is 1 session per month for 3 months.

Typically results are seen at around 6-8 weeks, sometimes sooner.

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.

PRP can help improve tired and dry skin, laxity of skin and pigmentation, and fine lines and dark circles. It is also a lovely option for overall texture and tone improvement. It is very popular with patients looking for a more natural treatment option.

For optimal rejuvenation, clients can choose a full-face approach. Alternatively, we can treat specific facial areas such as the undereyes with a targeted approach.

PRP injections for hair can be effective in treating male pattern baldness, both in preventing hair loss and promoting new hair growth. PRP can also aid in the stimulation of hair growth after hair transplants. PRP is shown to be effective in treating women’s hair loss too.

PRP therapy works by injecting the patient’s own concentrated platelet-rich plasma into the hair follicles, which stimulates and reactivates dormant or weakened hair follicles to produce thicker and healthier hair.

The process begins with a simple blood draw from the patient’s arm; this is then placed in a centrifuge machine which separates the red blood cells from the plasma. The PRP is then injected into the scalp using a very fine needle, allowing the platelets to be delivered directly and efficiently to where they are needed.

Thanks to this process, hair follicles are nourished and stimulated in the scalp, resulting in an increase in blood flow to the area.

Does PRP work for women’s hair loss? Yes! Clinical trials have demonstrated that platelet-rich plasma therapy is a promising treatment option for several types of hair loss, including telogen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia, and alopecia areata.

Like the majority of cosmetic procedures, ladies who are pregnant, breast-feeding or trying to conceive are not suitable 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 your suitability.
