Platelet-Rich Plasma
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a popular treatment for the face that utilises your body's own natural healing properties.
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that utilises a patient’s own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation. The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this enriched plasma back into specific areas of the body. PRP is known for its effectiveness in enhancing skin quality, treating hair loss, and rejuvenating delicate areas, such as the under-eye region.
How Much Does It Cost?
Stimulate natural collagen and healing with PRP. Whether for skin rejuvenation or hair restoration, it uses your body’s own plasma for visible results.

How PRP Works
1. Blood Collection: A small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test.
2. Centrifugation: The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, which spins it at high speed. This process separates the blood into different components, concentrating the platelets and growth factors in the plasma.
3. Application: The PRP is then injected into specific areas of your face. It can also be applied topically after microneedling to enhance absorption.

Pre-Care for PRP Treatments
1. Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a qualified practitioner to discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns regarding the treatment.
2. Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E) for at least 48 hours before your appointment to minimise the risk of bruising.
3. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment to ensure optimal hydration.
4. Eat a Balanced Diet: Focus on consuming a high-fiber, high-protein diet before your appointment. Foods rich in protein (like lean meats, fish, eggs, and legumes) and fiber (such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) can help support your body's healing processes and overall health.
5. Limit Alcohol Consumption: Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before the procedure, as it can increase the risk of swelling and bruising.
6. Sun Protection: Minimise sun exposure and avoid tanning (both natural and artificial) for at least a week prior to treatment to reduce skin sensitivity.
7. Inform Your Practitioner: Notify your practitioner of any medications, allergies, or skin conditions you have.
Including a focus on a high-fiber, high-protein diet in the pre-care guidelines emphasises the importance of overall health and nutrition in preparing for PRP treatments.
Aftercare for PRP Treatments
1. Avoid Touching the Area: Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation.
2. Stay Hydrated: Continue to drink plenty of water to support skin hydration and overall healing.
3. Avoid Heat Exposure: Limit exposure to saunas, hot tubs, or intense workouts for at least 48 hours to minimize swelling and redness.
4. Sun Protection: Protect your skin from direct sunlight and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to prevent UV damage, especially in the treated areas.
5. Skip Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours to allow the skin to heal properly and reduce the risk of irritation.
6. Monitor for Side Effects: Be aware of potential side effects such as minor swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites, which are typically temporary.
7. Avoid Other Treatments: Refrain from other facial treatments, such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion, for at least two weeks after your PRP treatment.
8. Follow-Up Appointment: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your practitioner to assess your results and discuss any additional treatments if necessary.
