About The Treatment
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a treatment that uses a concentration of your own platelets, extracted from a small sample of your own blood. Because the treatment uses your own blood it is a safe and more natural regenerative treatment with fewer risks.
For hair loss: PRP stimulates dormant hair follicles, leading to increased hair thickness and density.
For skin rejuvenation: PRP boosts collagen production, reduces fine lines, improves skin texture, and helps to fade the appearance of pigmentation and acne scarring.
Before any treatment can be suggested, you will require an aesthetic consultation to ascertain your concerns, medical history and suitable treatments. Treatment can be carried out same-day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the treatment involve?
A small amount of your blood is drawn, usually from the arm, which is then placed in a device called a centrifuge.
The centrifuge quickly spins around, separating the platelets and plasma from other components of the blood.
The PRP solution is extracted and injected into the treatment area, where growth factors and proteins stimulate cells and tissues to repair themselves.
Does it hurt?
Some patients experience mild stinging during the treatment, but we can use a numbing cream if required - talk to your practitioner about pain management options if you’re concerned.
Are there any side effects?
There may be mild swelling, redness, or pin-point bleeding. These are all normal and usually settle within 24–72 hours.
Is the treatment safe?
As PRP uses your own blood, it is generally regarded as a safe procedure free from risk of allergic reaction.
When will I see results?
