PRP & PRF
rejuvenate your skin and add volume to your face, hands and neck
Sometimes known as the Vampire Facelift is a natural way of rejuvenating tired looking skin.
How do you do it?
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes your own body’s healing abilities to stimulate skin and follicle recovery. It is a natural treatment that uses the platelets from your own blood. These activated platelets secrete and release at least 7 different growth factors which enhance the natural healing process of the skin and hair follicles.
During a PRP Therapy treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn from you into a sterile tube in the exact same manner as a standard blood test. The tube containing your blood is placed into a centrifuge and spun to separate the plasma and platelets from the other blood components.

The treatment takes approximately 30-60 minutes and can be applied to any skin type or colour. There is little, if any downtime after this procedure, although you may experience some redness, swelling or bruising at the injection site for a few days post treatment. Improvement of skin texture and tone are generally noticeable within three weeks but full collagen regeneration can take up to three months.
Although you may see a change after your first treatment, you may also require a series of sessions to obtain optimum results. The results of PRP are not permanent, as a natural degradation will occur over time.
Improvements can last up to a year. Please refrain from using actives in skincare (acids, retinols, etc), refrain from hot showers, baths, steam and sauna and refrain from other facial treatments. Repeat treatment can be done 4-6 weeks later if so desired.
PRP contains and releases different growth factors that are vital for healing and stimulating collagen production. Historically, having been widely used to treat sports injuries, wound healing and joint surgery, PRP uses your own blood and is considered a safe treatment option because there is no risk of allergic reactions and no synthetic substances are used. This treatment can be used alone or used in conjunction with Mesotherapy or microneedling to bolster results. You should not undergo PRP treatment if you have any skin conditions or diseases, such as facial cancers (past and present), systemic cancer, chemotherapy, steroid therapy, dermatological diseases affecting the face, blood disorders and platelet abnormalities and anticoagulation therapy. Similarly, PRP is not suitable if you are suffering from platelet dysfunction, critical thrombocytopenia, hyperfibrinogenaemia, sepsis, chronic liver disease, hepatitis or any acute infections. PRP is also not advised if you are a smoker.
