stimulate repair and regeneration of your skin with platelet growth factors
This treatment can be mixed with other aesthetic treatments including hyaluronic acid skin hydrating injectable to achieve stimulation of the deeper dermis, achieving an overall potent effect for clients with diffuse and multiple lines and photo-ageing. The powerful tissue stimulation and regenerative properties of PRP can be used to thicken the skin and reverse atrophic changes which cause fine lines, age related pigmentary changes, blotches, skin laxity, visible small telangiectatic blood vessels. Photo-ageing of the neck and décolleté can also be treated with PRP. PRP treatment can be combined with collagen induction treatments like fillers, micro-needling and chemical peels to treat acne scars and stretch marks. The use of PRP for hair loss to stimulate follicle rescue and restoration is also available.
Platelet rich plasma PRP skin treatment
Platelet rich plasma rejuvenation is a great way to stimulate repair and regeneration of your skin from the inside out through the use of your body’s own growth factors. Platelets have the ability to secrete growth factors and proteins which repair damaged tissue and support the maintenance of the cellular environment. PRP has been used in many fields of medicine to repair tissues including skin grafts, joints, tendons, wounds and even as eye drops for corneal diseases.
As we age the cumulative skin damage caused by UV exposure, pollutants, systemic disease, poor diet, medications and ageing in general leads to atrophic changes in all layers of our skin which can be reversed with autologous (your own) growth factors derived from a small amount of blood (11 mL) which is drawn from your arm into a special closed system kit.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SKIN PRP TREATMENT?
A small amount of blood (11 mL) which is drawn from your arm into a special closed system kit that allows us to spin and extract the PRP. The resulting straw coloured liquid is then injected into the superficial layers of the skin using a micro droplet (0.05 mL) with the thinnest needles available (sourced from and manufactured only in Japan) across the entire area/s being treated. A standard 11 mL blood spin will produce 6 mL of PRP which can cover most of the face. In most clients a single treatment will last for 9-12 months.
