Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a popular non-surgical aesthetic treatment to rejuvenate and revitalise the skin. It is used for fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars or surgical scars, hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone and overall skin texture improvement.

PRP uses a patient’s own blood, processed to concentrate the plasma component, which contains growth factors that can promote collagen production, tissue repair, and skin rejuvenation.

After consultation and assessment blood is drawn from the patient. This is separated into layers using a centrifuge. The plasma rich protein layer is injected directly into specific areas of the face.

Duration of treatment: 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area being treated.

Number of sessions advised: Typically 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments may be done every 6 to 12 months , depending on goals, skin condition, and age.

Price:

From €359 per session

Time to results: Initial improvement may be seen within a few weeks, but optimal results usually appear around 3-6 months post treatment as collagen regeneration and cell turnover take place.

Length of results: 12 to 18 months however this duration can vary depending on individual factors such as skin type, age, lifestyle, and the area treated.
