What Is PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
Platelet-rich plasma therapy utilises components derived from your own blood to support skin renewal. By administering concentrated platelets into target areas, PRP helps boost collagen production, encourage tissue repair and stimulate growth factor release. This helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, scarring and sun-related damage.
How PRP Therapy Works
Platelet-rich plasma treatment follows a structured clinical process to ensure safety, precision and consistency of results.
Step 1 — Consultation
We start with a detailed conversation about your individual concerns and medical history. This allows your clinician to develop a personalised treatment plan aligned with your skin or hair goals.
Step 2 — Blood Collection
A small sample of your blood is collected using specialised tubes, similar to a routine blood test.
Step 3 — Plasma Separation
The sample is placed in a centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
Step 4 — Treatment Application
The prepared PRP is then applied to the targeted areas, either through controlled delivery methods or in combination with treatments such as skin needling.
Step 5 — Recovery & Aftercare
You will be provided with aftercare instructions to support recovery and optimise results.
Areas PRP Can Address
PRP therapy may be used to manage concerns related to skin quality and tissue function. This includes areas affected by reduced firmness, uneven texture, facial lines, scarring and hair thinning. Treatment suitability depends on individual assessment, goals and problem areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

When injected into facial areas, PRP can stimulate collagen production, which can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, thicken the skin and restore volume. By encouraging smoother and healthier skin, a PRP facial can create a youthful glow, improving the patient’s overall appearance.
Following PRP skin needling, you may experience mild swelling, redness, bruising, pinpoint bleeding and tenderness as the skin heals. As PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of hypersensitivity reactions is generally low.
