What is it?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is sought after for its ability to rejuvenate the skin and address various aesthetic concerns. By harnessing the natural healing properties of the patient's own blood, PRP therapy stimulates collagen production, promotes tissue regeneration and improves skin texture and tone. The formula can be added to a microneedling device for facial rejuvenation, or to a special syringe for injections in key facial areas.

It is commonly used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, diminish acne scars, improve skin elasticity and enhance overall skin quality.

PRP treatment is valued for its minimally invasive nature, with little to no downtime, making it an attractive option for individuals seeking to achieve a youthful and refreshed appearance without surgery or extensive recovery periods.

What to expect

The Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment procedure typically begins with a small blood sample being drawn from the patient's arm (don't worry, only a few teaspoons are removed). The blood sample is then processed using a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components of the blood. Once the PRP is extracted and prepared, it is either injected directly into the targeted areas of the skin or applied topically during microneedling or other skin rejuvenation treatments. The growth factors and proteins present in the PRP stimulate collagen production, promote tissue repair and improve skin texture and tone.

Depending on the specific concerns being addressed, multiple treatment sessions may be recommended for optimal results. Overall, the PRP treatment procedure is minimally invasive, with little discomfort and downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure.
