PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP) THERAPY

PRP Therapy is a very unique, natural treatment. It works by taking a small sample of your own blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge machine to remove the red blood cells, leaving the platelets and plasma.

As the leftover platelets and plasma contain growth factors to induce collagen and elastin production within the skin, this is then injected into the desired treatment area to create rejuvenating results.

Your anti ageing cream can move over for this treatment! Due to the increased collagen and elastin production in the skin, PRP Therapy is great for skin rejuvenation to treat fine lines, wrinkles and other common signs of ageing. PRP can also improve pregnancy stretch marks and growth stretch marks, and is a great acne scar treatment.

What’s more, it can even be used to treat mild hair loss and a receding hairline, as the growth factors found in the platelets and plasma increase blood supply to the hair follicles which stimulates the thickness of hair growth.

To achieve optimum results from PRP Therapy when treating skin related concerns such as ageing, acne scarring or stretch marks, you will need 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart. When treating hair loss, you will need 6 treatments, 4 weeks apart.

We then advise the results are maintained with 1 session every 6 months. Our PRP cost can be found here.

As PRP Therapy uses your own blood it is a very safe treatment with minimal risks, therefore this treatment is suitable for almost everyone. Especially those who are looking to improve their skin quality, the appearance of acne scarring or stretch marks.

If you are thinking about PRP Therapy for treating hair loss or thinning hair, we will advise you upon consultation whether you are suitable for this hair growth treatment, as the hair follicle would need to be present when going ahead with the platelet rich plasma injection.
