Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments (PRP)
Common Names: Autologous Blood Injection (ABI), Autologous Conditioned Plasma
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a treatment that uses your body’s own blood components to support natural skin function. A small blood sample is taken and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into targeted areas by our qualified practitioners.
PRP contains platelets and plasma-derived proteins that may assist in stimulating natural skin processes. In aesthetic settings, PRP is sometimes used to support overall skin quality, texture, and tone. Some individuals also explore PRP for scalp and hair-related concerns, depending on clinical suitability.
Treatment plans and outcomes vary depending on individual factors such as skin condition, age, and goals. A consultation with one of our qualified practitioners is required to determine if PRP is appropriate for you and to develop a tailored approach.
