What is Platelet Rich Plasma ?

Platelet rich plasma, commonly referred to as "PRP", is is essentially an increased concentration of autologous platelets suspended in a small amount of plasma after centrifugation. Platelets are the clotting cells of our blood, but they also have great potential in rejuvenation.

​

How does PRP work ?

PRP contains cells called Platelets which promote healing, accelerates the rate and degree of tissue healing and regeneration, responds to injury, and formation of new cellular growth.

The primary purpose of using PRP in Facial is to release growth factors for the healing and repair process. Platelets are also rich in growth factors, which essentially act as energy boots for our skin. This helps our skin function optimally, increasing everything from collagen to elastin, while also bringing antioxidant and hydrating properties.

Is PRP right treatment for me ?

Anybody with "premature wrinkles, high levels of solar damage, or anyone who wants an even tone and fresher appearance to their skin," is an ideal candidate for the procedure

​​

How will i feel during PRP Therapy ?

• A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, just like a routine blood test. Once the blood is drawn it is then placed into a centrifuge. The centrifuge is a machine that spins the blood at high speeds in order to separate the blood into red blood cells and concentrated platelets. Once the blood is separated the red blood cells are discarded, and we are left with concentrated platelet rich plasma (PRP) which is ready to be used in the treatment process.

• The Face is cleansed.

• Local Anaesthetic is applied 20 - 30 mins prior to minimize the pain of injection.

• Multiple injections are given at the affected sites (Mesotherapy) or PRP can also be given using Dermaroller (Microneedling).

• Post Therapy, Antibiotic is applied over the face to prevent infection.

​

What to expect after a PRP?

• Slight Pain may be felt at the injection sites as the anaesthetic wears down.

• Minimal bruising may occur which resolves within 3-5 days.

​

What results should i expect ?

• Smoother and Brighter Face

• Tighter skin

• Reduced spots and more clear skin.

​

When will I see the Results ?

Most patients need a series of treatments to see results. We recommend multiple sessions alternating with mesotherapy for best results.

​

What are the possible side effects ?

• ​Overall PRP is a safe option. there are no side effects.

• There is no risk of allergic reaction because it is your own blood
