PRP Facial Rejuvenation

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) facials, also known as vampire facials give a more youthful appearance to the skin by improving the overall skin texture, decreasing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles under the eyes and sun damage, as well as plumping the hollow areas such as tear troughs cheeks and temples. PRP facials can also smooth both acne and surgical scars, and reduce stretchmarks. PRP is derived from your own blood, the plasma contains a high concentration of platelets that stimulate stem cells and growth factors, as a result, the production of collagen helps to regenerate and heal the skin reducing wrinkles, fine lines, blemishes and creating a youthful glow, as well as visibly improving skin texture and tone.

How Does PRP Work?

How Does PRP Work?

PRP is a three-step medical treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp.

  1. Blood is drawn from the patient’s arm and put into a centrifuge to separate fluids of different densities.
  2. Separation of the blood into PRP and red blood cells. Platelets are important cells that stop you from bleeding when you cut yourself, they also release growth factors that attract and stimulate stem cell production to the damaged area.
  3. Inject the PRP into the scalp to stimulate the hair follicles and promote hair growth. It is the platelets that activate tissue repair and regenerate the damaged hair follicles.

PRP facials is a very safe and effective procedure, an non-surgical alternative to facelift and fillers.  We are using your own blood, therefore the risk is low and concerns of disease transmission are eliminated.  However, there is a very small chance of possible infections and side effects.

We use a very fine needle for the micro-needling and to inject the PRP into the face which minimizes the discomfort, this process lasts 20 mins.

You may experience slight redness, mild bruising and swelling, all will resolve in a two to three days. These symptoms are temporary and mild, we do recommend no makeup for the first 24-48 hours after treatment.  Other risks include infection and pain at injection sites.  It is recommended to start taking Arnica, a homoeopathic medication that naturally decreases bruising and swelling following the procedure.

In some cases, there are rare side effects, such as localised redness, swelling, oedema, and pain. These should last a few hours and in some cases a few days, in the event of these rare symptoms contact the medical practitioner.

If you are taking any medication, you must inform us before the treatment, including aspirin, ibuprofen, blood thinners and any vitamin supplements as some will affect the PRP treatment.

Results will vary from person to person, depending on the quality of your platelets and growth factors.  This treatment is more impactful if you already live a healthy lifestyle.

Noticeable changes are seen within 4-6 weeks, clients will see improved hydration, skin volume, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and a youthful glow.  We would recommend a maintenance treatment once or twice a year to maintain results.
