The Steps of a PRP Treatment Procedure

Treatment Steps

• 1. Consultation & planning: Your clinician examines your skin, discusses your concerns, and reviews your medical history to determine whether PRP is appropriate and how to customise the procedure for your goals.
• 2. Preparation & skin cleansing: The treatment area is cleansed and disinfected to reduce infection risk. A topical numbing agent is applied to enhance comfort.
• 3. Blood draw: A small volume of blood is drawn—typically from your arm—using sterile technique, similar to a routine blood test.

• 4. Centrifugation & plasma separation: The blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, concentrating the growth factors that support healing. Some protocols use a second spin for further refinement.
• 5. Activation (if used): In some treatments a chemical or mechanical activation is applied so platelets release growth factors more readily.
• 6. Application or injection: PRP is delivered by one or more methods:
  • Microneedling + topical application: microchannels are created and PRP is applied to penetrate through them
  • Direct microinjection: small volumes are injected into superficial layers in target zones (e.g., cheeks, under-eyes)
  • Combined approach: both microneedling and injections may be used for broader and deeper coverage

• 7. Sculpting, massage & coverage: The clinician may gently massage treated zones to ensure even distribution; residual PRP may be spread over the skin to maximise absorption.
• 8. Final check & patient review: Symmetry, coverage, and comfort are assessed and aftercare instructions are provided.

A complete session typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many facial zones are treated and whether microneedling, injections, or both are used.

Most mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity fades within a few days. Contact us if you notice lumps, persistent pain, or uneven texture.

• Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications immediately afterward
• Protect treated skin from sun and avoid tanning beds for several days
• Use gentle, non-aggressive skincare products; postpone exfoliants or peels for a week
• Attend your follow-up appointment to monitor progress and refine results

Suitability

You are likely a suitable candidate if you:

• Are in good general health
• Seek improvement in skin quality, texture, and mild rejuvenation
• Understand that results develop over time

You may not be suitable if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have active skin infection or broken skin in treatment areas
• Use strong blood-thinning medication or have clotting disorders
• Have autoimmune or hematologic conditions

Your clinician will review your medical history and skin condition in consultation to confirm suitability.

Alternatives & Complementary Methods

• Microneedling alone: stimulates collagen via controlled micro-injury
• Laser resurfacing or fractional treatments: target tone, texture, and pigmentation
• Dermal fillers / injectables: to restore volume or soften deeper folds
• Thread lifts or tightening devices: for lift and firming effects
• Combination plans: combining PRP with other therapies often gives more comprehensive rejuvenation

During your review, we’ll help you choose the method or combination that meets your goals best.
