What is PRP and How Does it Work?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a groundbreaking non-invasive treatment that taps into your body’s natural healing powers to rejuvenate and restore your skin and hair. By using your own blood, PRP promotes regeneration and healing, providing a completely natural way to enhance your beauty from within.

The process begins with a small blood draw, which is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets—cells that play a crucial role in healing and tissue regeneration. Once concentrated, these platelets are carefully reintroduced into the skin via injection. As they break open, they release growth factors that trigger tissue repair, stimulate collagen production, and enhance overall skin health. This process boosts the natural regeneration of the skin, leaving you with a more youthful, glowing appearance.

PRP therapy is especially popular for those seeking a natural approach to skincare and hair restoration, as it uses your body’s own resources to enhance your natural beauty.

Which Areas Can PRP Treat?

PRP therapy is incredibly versatile and can be used to target a variety of concerns. It is most commonly used for facial rejuvenation and hair restoration:

Facial Rejuvenation: PRP can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, while stimulating collagen production for smoother, firmer skin. It can be used to treat delicate areas like under the eyes and around the lips, where other treatments may not be suitable.

Hair Restoration: For those experiencing hair thinning or hair loss, PRP is an effective treatment that encourages hair growth and strengthens existing hair follicles. It is also commonly used following hair transplants to promote healing and improve results.

Additionally, PRP can help improve the overall texture and quality of the skin, leaving it looking refreshed and revitalized.

Who is PRP Suitable For?

PRP therapy is suitable for adults of all ages, especially those looking for a natural, non-synthetic approach to enhance their skin and hair. It’s a great option for those who want to maintain youthful, glowing skin or address early signs of ageing. It can also help improve the overall health of the skin, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and other visible signs of ageing.

Since PRP works with your body’s natural healing processes, factors such as age and lifestyle can impact the results. However, it is an excellent option for anyone looking to improve their skin and hair’s overall vitality with minimal downtime.

How Long Does PRP Last and What’s the Downtime?

PRP is a subtle yet effective treatment that produces gradual results. To achieve the best outcomes, we typically recommend a series of five to six treatments, spaced about one month apart [Minimum of 3 treatments].  Since the effects are cumulative, you’ll see more significant results with each session.

After the treatment, downtime is minimal:

•For the eye area, you may experience around 2 to 3 days of mild swelling or bruising.

•For other areas, especially if PRP is used in conjunction with Microneedling, downtime is typically about 1 day.

Since PRP uses your own blood, the risk of side effects is very low. Most patients experience little to no adverse reactions, making it a safe and natural treatment option.
