PRP Treatments ?

Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) is a natural treatment that uses a component of your own blood to stimulate skin regeneration and healing. It involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma rich in platelets and growth factors and then reapplying it to the skin via micro-needling or injection. PRP aims to enhances collagen production accelerates tissue repair, making it a regenerative skincell boost and rejuvenation treatment. You can have PRP on your Face, Neck, Dec, Scalp, Hands

IS PRP NATURAL?

Yes, PRP is 100% natural as it is derived from your own blood, with no additives or synthetic substances. We follow strict safety protocols and aim for the best possible outcomes for our patients, Your body recognises the substance as it's own therefore stimulating it's own cell regeneration response to be activated.

DOES IT HURT ?

PRP application is generally well tolerated. If applied with micro-needling, you may feel mild discomfort similar to light scratching, but numbing cream is usually applied beforehand to minimise any pain. Any redness or swelling usually subsides within a day or two.

SCIENCE BEHIND PRP ?

PRP works by utilising the body's natural healing mechanisms. Platelets contain bio-active proteins and growth factors that signal skin cells to regenerate, produce collagen and repair damaged tissue. When applied to the skin, PRP improves wound healing, helps reduce inflammation and aims to stimulate increased fibroblasts activity. By rejuvenating the skin at this level we are wanting to stimulate firmer, smoother and more structured-looking skin. Studies have shown that PRP can help to improve fine lines, scars and overall skin quality - over time with the idea that the result will continue to develop for weeks after the initial treatments.

PRP Skin Needling for Rejuvenation

PRP skin needling combines the benefits of microneedling with PRP therapy and it aims to deeply stimulate collagen, elastin and tissue repair.

It’s considered ideal for treating:

Fine, thinning skin that has lines
Acne scars and stretch marks
Dull or dehydrated skin
Uneven tone and texture

Also known as a platelet rich plasma facial treatment, this procedure aims to help tighten, brighten and smooth the skin, leaving you with a fresher, more refined looking appearance over time.

Platelet Rich Plasma Injections for Hair Loss

We also offer platelet rich plasma injections for hair loss, a non-surgical option for men and women experiencing thinning hair or early signs of hair loss. When injected into the scalp, PRP helps:

Stimulate dormant hair follicles
Improve blood supply to the scalp
Slow shedding and encourage regrowth
Strengthen hair density and quality

Most clients notice some improvement in hair volume and texture after a series of sessions. It’s a popular alternative to invasive hair restoration procedures with minimal downtime and natural results.

Platelet Rich Plasma vs Fibrin – What’s the Difference?

Clients often ask about platelet rich plasma vs fibrin. Both are derived from your own blood, but they serve slightly different purposes. PRP is rich in platelets and used to stimulate rapid regeneration, while platelet rich fibrin (PRF) contains fibrin and releases growth factors more slowly over time. PRP is commonly preferred for facial rejuvenation and hair loss, while PRF may be used for deeper tissue repair and slower release healing. Our specialists can guide you on which option suits your clinical needs.

Is PRP Natural and Safe?

Yes, as we have said PRP is 100% natural. Because it’s derived from your own blood with no additives. As the treatment uses your own blood components, the risk of allergic reaction is low. It’s an option for those seeking holistic and biocompatible treatments.

Potential side effects include:

Redness at the needle insertion point
Small bruising localised to area treated
Swelling for 24 - 48 hrs
Tenderness from the needles

Does PRP Hurt?

PRP is generally well tolerated. For PRP skin needling or facial applications, a topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to reduce discomfort. You may feel a light scratching or pressure during the treatment. Minor redness, swelling or sensitivity may occur, but these typically subside within 24 to 48 hours.

What Potential Results Can You Expect?

PRP is not an instant fix. It works by stimulating your body’s natural repair mechanisms.

The potential results may include:

Brighter, firmer, more hydrated skin within weeks
Gradual reduction in fine lines, pigmentation and scars
Improved hair thickness and reduced shedding over 3 to 6 months

A series of treatments is typically recommended for optimal results, spaced around 4 to 6 weeks apart. Remember this treatment outcome is not guaranteed and may vary between clients.
