Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Harness Your Body’s Natural Healing Power

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own platelets to support skin rejuvenation, stimulate collagen production, and promote healthier, more radiant skin. By utilising your natural growth factors, PRP encourages tissue repair and renewal, helping improve skin quality with minimal downtime.

Whether you’re looking to refresh tired skin, soften the appearance of fine lines, or support healthy hair growth, PRP offers a natural approach to skin and hair rejuvenation.

What Is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is created from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed in a specialised centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors involved in the body’s natural healing processes.

Once prepared, the PRP is carefully applied or injected into the treatment area by a qualified practitioner. These growth factors help stimulate collagen and elastin production, support tissue repair, and improve overall skin quality.

Benefits of PRP Therapy

PRP may help to:

• Improve skin texture and tone
• Enhance skin firmness and elasticity
• Stimulate natural collagen production
• Reduce the appearance of fine lines
• Improve skin hydration and radiance
• Support the appearance of acne scars
• Promote healthier-looking hair in suitable candidates
• Refresh tired or ageing skin naturally

Because PRP uses your own blood components, there is no risk of allergic reaction to the platelet preparation itself.

What Can PRP Treat?

PRP is commonly used to address:

• Fine lines and early signs of ageing
• Dull or dehydrated skin
• Uneven skin texture
• Mild acne scarring
• Sun-damaged skin
• Skin laxity
• Thinning hair and early hair loss in appropriate patients

Your practitioner will assess whether PRP is suitable for your individual concerns during your consultation.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your appointment begins with a comprehensive consultation to discuss your goals and medical history.

A small amount of blood is collected from your arm, similar to a routine blood test. The sample is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.

Depending on your treatment plan, the PRP is either injected into the treatment area using fine needles or applied following a skin treatment such as microneedling to enhance absorption.

Treatment typically takes between 45 and 60 minutes.

Is There Any Downtime?

You may notice temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or mild bruising at the treatment sites. These effects usually settle within 4-5 days.

Most people return to normal daily activities within 24 hours, although your practitioner may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and certain skincare products immediately after treatment.

When Will I See Results?

PRP works by stimulating your body’s natural regenerative processes, so improvements develop gradually.

Many clients begin to notice healthier-looking skin within several weeks, with continued improvement over the following months as collagen production increases.

Hair restoration results generally require multiple treatments and ongoing maintenance, with improvements varying between individuals.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The number of treatments depends on your individual concerns and desired outcomes.

Many clients benefit from an initial series of three treatments performed 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6–12 months, depending on their treatment goals.

Your practitioner will recommend a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.

Aftercare

Following your PRP treatment, we recommend:

• Keeping the treated area clean for the first 24 hours
• Avoiding makeup for the remainder of the day if advised
• Using gentle skincare products as recommended
• Applying broad-spectrum SPF daily
• Avoiding excessive heat, vigorous exercise, and swimming for 24–48 hours
• Following all personalised aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner

Is PRP Right for Me?

PRP is suitable for many healthy adults seeking natural skin rejuvenation or support for hair restoration.

It may not be appropriate for people with certain blood disorders, active infections, some medical conditions, or those taking specific medications. A comprehensive consultation will determine whether PRP is an appropriate treatment for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PRP safe?

PRP uses your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions to the platelet preparation itself. As with any procedure involving injections, there are potential risks and side effects, which your practitioner will discuss with you during your consultation.

Does PRP hurt?

Most people find PRP well tolerated. A topical anaesthetic may be used for skin treatments to improve comfort.

Can PRP be combined with other treatments?

PRP is often used alongside treatments such as microneedling as part of a personalised treatment plan. Your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate approach for your skin concerns.

How long do results last?

Results vary depending on the individual, the area treated, and lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments may help support ongoing improvements.
