Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections harness the potent healing properties within your own blood. Comprising plasma, red cells, white cells, and platelets, PRP is enriched with granules carrying vital growth factors. These growth factors play a pivotal role in initiating the inflammatory cascade and driving the healing process, making PRP an ideal solution for various musculoskeletal injuries, including those affecting tendons, muscles, and joints.
Beyond its therapeutic applications, Platelet Rich Plasma serves as a remarkable tool for aesthetic rejuvenation, effectively slowing the natural aging process of the skin. The plasma within our blood is a rich source of essential factors crucial for cellular survival, encompassing nutrients, vitamins, electrolytes, growth factors, and proteins. By utilising factors, it can stimulate the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and cellular growth.

Results are seen approximately 2 – 3 weeks after your first treatment. For more noticeable and long-term results, we recommend receiving 3 – 4 treatments every 4 – 6 weeks. The best results are seen when following a healthy lifestyle and the blood sample taken is of good quality.
Depending on the rate each patient grows collagen, maintenance treatments are recommended every 4 – 6 months, with a treatment at least once every 12 months to upkeep results.
PRP injections are designed as a skin rejuvenation procedure that typically takes 45 to 60 minutes. The procedure begins with collecting the patients’ own blood, similar to a blood test. This is then placed in a centrifuge which spins at a controlled rate to separate the liquid concentrated plasma from the red and white blood cells.
Following this the PRP is injected into the treatment areas of the face. Throughout this injection process, you might experience a momentary tingling sensation, lasting only a few seconds. For those who prefer, numbing cream can be applied prior to the treatment to enhance comfort.
From this point, the PRP releases growth factors including the stimulation of cell growth and regeneration, the formation of new blood vessels, and the production of fresh collagen and elastin. These processes ultimately contribute to the creation of connective tissue, fostering skin tightening, and yielding a rejuvenated appearance.
PRP injections can be used for a total face rejuvenation, defining the jawline, neck tightening, addressing perioral and periorbital lines, lip regeneration, rejuvenating the hands and arms, and revitilising the decolletage.
Platelet-Rich Plasma injections can effectively address a range of concerns, including:
Some of the most common effects experienced after Platelet-Rich Plasma injections are redness, swelling and possible bruising. Redness and swelling usually subside within a day, while bruising may take 1-2 weeks to fade completely. Due to the minimal downtime associated with the procedure, you can resume your regular activities after the clinic appointment. It’s recommended to use sunscreen when outdoors, but it’s best to limit excessive sun exposure for optimal results.
