It's a facial that essentially uses, your own blood to help promote the healthy activity of your skin.

Our blood is comprised of red blood cells and serum, which contain our white blood cells and platelets. Platelets are 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.

Platelet-rich plasma is now commonly used topically as part of a regular facial being a central factor to our evolving understanding of the physiology of the skin and advanced techniques with which to improve the quality of the skin.

This procedure involves drawing blood from the patient, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate out the platelets, then reinjecting or dermal needling the concentrated platelets into the problem area. Platelets are the cells that release growth factors – regenerative and healing substances that contribute to younger-looking skin.

The first part of PRP treatment is similar to a blood test. Our specialists will simply draw blood – usually not more than 30ml, though the exact amount needed will depend on the area being treated. Combined with the time the blood spends in the centrifuge and then the careful reinjection, the whole process will take about 60-90 minutes. After the procedure, there may be some bruising, but this should subside over a week or two.
How often will I need to have PRP treatments?

Most patients will require a minimum of 3-4 treatments spaced 1 month apart. Most will need to have repeat treatments 1 to 3 times per year with average being every 6 months. For optimal results, we advise clients have three treatments at intervals of four weeks. Your treatment will be tailored by our doctors to suit your individual skin goals and address your concerns or skin conditions.
