PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich Plasma, also called PRP, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a patient’s own blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets and then microneedled or re-injected into the patient’s skin. The growth factors in the platelets promote healing and tissue regeneration, resulting in improved skin appearance. PRP is considered a safe and effective treatment option with minimal downtime and side effects.

Benefits of PRP for skin include:

Skin Rejuvenation

PRP therapy can stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, tone and elasticity, leading to more youthful-looking skin.

Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

PRP therapy can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue regeneration.

Improved skin texture

PRP therapy can improve skin texture by reducing the appearance of scars, sun damage and hyperpigmentation.

Reduced acne scarring

PRP therapy can help reduce the appearance of acne scars by promoting tissue and collagen production.

Removed pigmentation

PRP therapy is being used to treat melasma, a common pigmentation disorder that causes brown or grey patches on the skin. The platelets release growth factors that help to reduce pigmentation and improve skin texture.

Microneedling is a medical procedure which uses a series of microscopic needles, which are controlled by a motorised head, to provide thousands of precision channels into the dermal layer of skin.

The needles cause a controlled injury by creating multiple micro-punctures in the dermis. These micro-punctures stimulate growth factors in the skin, and the post-traumatic response produces collagen and elastin, two of the key building blocks of our skin.

Primarily, this is a skin-rejuvenation therapy that delivers results over the long term.

Uses of dermal needling include:

• Skin rejuvenation.
• Sun damage.
• Hyperpigmentation.
• Enlarged or dilated pores.
• Acne scarring.
• Stretch marks.

The benefits of microneedling and PRP therapy complement each other. In the majority of indications, microneedling provides an effective and efficient method of delivery of PRP into the skin and reduces the risk of some side effects, such as bruising, when compared to injecting.
