PRP THERAPY


A small amount of your blood is taken by our Doctor or nurse, just like when you have a blood test. This blood is then spun in a centrifuge machine to separate the liquid part of the blood, the plasma, from the cells. This plasma is rich in platelets, which is essential for wound healing. The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is removed from the blood tubes and either injected or micro needled into the treatment area.


The platelet-rich plasma stimulates collagen production and encourages other proteins within the skin cells, leading to healthier, more youthful skin.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is PRP?

    PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, which is a treatment that involves injecting a concentrated solution of a patient's own plasma into damaged tissues to promote healing and regeneration. Plasma is the liquid part of the blood that contains growth factors that can stimulate cell growth and tissue repair.


  • What are the benefits of PRP?

    The benefits of PRP include:


    Reduced pain and inflammation in the treated area.

    Improved healing and regeneration of damaged tissues.

    Increased collagen production, which can improve skin texture and appearance Reduced hair loss and improved hair growth in some cases.

    Minimal side effects, as the treatment uses the patient's own blood.


  • How is PRP done?

    The PRP procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient, usually from the arm. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma (ie. The liquid part of the blood that is full of platelets and growth factors) from the other blood cells. The plasma is then extracted and injected into the treatment area using a fine needle.

  • What does the PRP procedure involve?

    Numbing cream for 20 mins. The skin is then cleaned and disinfected. Small superficial injections are done all over the face.

    The PRP procedure typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour to complete, depending on the size and location of the treatment area. This treatment is typically quite uncomfortable, so many patients prefer to combine it with microneedling rather than having the individual skin injections.

  • How long does healing take after a PRP treatment?

    The redness and injection sites can take a couple of days to heal.

  • What should I expect after having PRP?

    After the PRP treatment, the patient may experience some swelling, redness, and bruising in the treatment area. These side effects are usually mild and subside within a few days. It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and direct sunlight for a few days after the treatment.

    The skin should start to improve after 1-2 weeks.

  • How many treatments of PRP will I need?

    The number of PRP treatments needed varies depending on the patient's condition and the severity of the damage or injury being treated. Some patients may see improvement after just one treatment, while others may require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart.


  • Aftercare for PRP treatment

    Aftercare for PRP treatment includes avoiding anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen for a few days after the treatment, as these medications can interfere with the body's natural healing process. It is also important to stay hydrated and avoid smoking and alcohol, as these substances can impair healing.
