PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma: a natural resource which can be extracted from the blood and used for topical cell regeneration. PRP facials make use of these naturally occurring healing properties to bring back youth and radiance to the face.
PRP facials are replenishing, nutrient-rich treatments, designed to make use of the body’s own natural resources and incredible capacity for healing. Using absolutely no artificial materials whatsoever, PRP facials are fantastic for both subdermal tissue repair, and surface concerns such as crow’s feet, dark circles, sun damage, acne scarring and obtrusive pores
PRP facials are skincare treatments that have rapidly swept the beauty circuit, becoming many people’s go-to procedure for a quick and lasting beauty pick-me-up.

PRP Facials have an incredible ability to brighten the face, making it look more plump, hydrated and healthy as well as free from fine lines and wrinkles. People flock for PRP treatments because they combine the best of both worlds, being something of a comprehensive facial and an instant facelift in one. But don’t just take our word for it, take a look at what it has done for some of our patients in the past.
How does PRP work?
Platelets in the blood contain hundreds of proteins called ‘growth factors’ which are crucial for healing damaged or diminishing soft tissue. It is the platelets that are at work during the clotting process as our skin attempts to restore itself. PRP is plasma that is 5-10 times more concentrated in platelets, so by isolating this miracle element from the blood, we are able to target and dose particular areas in need of rejuvenation.
Blood is first drawn from the arm, and then placed into a centrifuge which rapidly spins the blood sample, prompting it to separate into 3 components (The plasma, the PRP and the cellular layer which contains both red and white blood cells.) The concentrated PRP layer is then harvested and reinjected into the face in the same way you might administer botox or dermal filler.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PRP skin Rejuvenation treatment?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Skin Rejuvenation is an advanced cosmetic treatment that uses the natural healing properties of your own blood to rejuvenate your skin. This non-surgical procedure leverages the growth factors found in platelets to stimulate collagen production and promote tissue regeneration, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

- Preparation: The PRP, which is rich in growth factors, is prepared for application.
- Application: The PRP is either injected into the skin using a fine needle or applied topically in conjunction with microneedling. Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, allowing the PRP to penetrate deeper and enhance its effectiveness.
