Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment

Introduction

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative procedure that uses your own blood’s healing properties to stimulate skin renewal, improve texture, and rejuvenate soft tissues.

Treatment Process

Consultation & skin assessment

Your clinician will evaluate your skin condition, review your medical history, and discuss your aesthetic goals. Together, we'll tailor a treatment plan suited to your skin type and needs.

Blood collection & processing

A small sample of your blood is drawn, then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma component. This concentrated portion contains growth factors that aid regeneration.

Application / injection

Depending on your treatment plan, the PRP is either applied topically, microneedled into the skin, or injected into targeted areas. We work gently and precisely to ensure even distribution and natural effect.

Final check & guidance

Once treatment is complete, we assess your skin uniformity and provide you with recovery instructions and expectations for progress.

A full appointment typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many areas are treated.

Refrain from vigorous exercise, saunas, or steam rooms for 24–48 hours
Use cool compresses to reduce swelling or mild redness
Keep your head elevated while sleeping the first night
Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications initially
Stay out of strong sunlight and refrain from tanning beds for several days
Use gentle skincare only; avoid exfoliants or harsh treatments for one week
Attend scheduled follow-up so we can monitor healing and progress

Mild redness or slight swelling is common and should subside within a few days. Should you experience lumps, persistent discomfort, or unevenness, contact the clinic immediately.

Alternatives & Complementary Treatments

Microneedling / dermarolling: stimulates regeneration through controlled micro-injury
Laser resurfacing: improves tone, texture, and pigmentation at deeper levels
Chemical peels: enhances surface renewal and smooths minor irregularities
Dermal fillers / injectables: target volume loss or contouring rather than skin quality
Combination therapy: PRP with microneedling or laser often amplifies results

At your assessment, we’ll help you choose the best standalone or combined approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will I see results?

You may notice a subtle improvement in skin brightness within a week, but full benefits of collagen production tend to show over several weeks to a few months.
How many sessions are needed?

Many patients begin with a series of 2 to 3 treatments spaced weeks apart, then maintain with occasional follow-up sessions.
Is it painful?

Discomfort is minimal. Numbing and gentle techniques are used to keep you comfortable during injections or microneedling.
Are there risks?

Because PRP uses your body’s own blood, risks are low. Temporary redness, light swelling, or minor bruising may occur. Rarely, infection or unevenness can arise.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments?

Yes — it’s often paired with microneedling, lasers, or fillers for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Will I need downtime?

Most people resume normal tasks the same day. Avoiding strenuous activity and heat for 24–48 hours is advised.
Should I avoid anything after treatment?

Yes — avoid heavy sun exposure, harsh cosmetics, and extreme temperatures shortly after your session.
