Platelet Rich Plasma Skin Rejuvenation
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure that uses the patient's own blood platelets to boost collagen production, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin tone. PRP contains platelets, plasma, growth factors, and proteins that help stimulate the repair of damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, aid healing, and promote skin rejuvenation. It involves injecting the concentrated platelets, using microneedling, or applying them topically.
How it Works
A small amount of blood is taken from your arm and spun in a centrifuge to isolate platelets (growth factors), which are then injected into the skin or applied with microneedling.
Benefits
Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and under-eye dark circles, and improves skin texture/elasticity. Platelets can be injected into almost any area to help rejuvenate the face, neck, decolletage, hands, knees, and elbows. It can also be injected into the scalp to help stimulate hair growth, particularly useful for thinning hair due to menopause or weight loss.
Procedure Details
The treatment can take up to an hour. The blood will be drawn from the elbow crease, and the treatment area will be numbed with a topical numbing agent to help keep discomfort to a minimum.
Results & Recovery
Results appear gradually as collagen develops. The optimal outcome is achieved with an initial series of 3 sessions. Minimal downtime is required. Mild swelling or bruising may occur after each treatment, especially if injected in the eye area.
Duration
Results can last for 6–12 months, sometimes up to 18 months. This depends on the patient. Repeat treatments can be performed to continue the rejuvenation.
Price from £250 per treatment or pay £600 for 3 treatments.
