Platelets Rich Plasma (PRP) is a natural type of cosmetic treatment. PRP uses your own natural elements without the addition of any foreign products. The treatment works by drawing a small sample of your blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the other blood particles. The platelet rich plasma is then reinjected back into the treatment area to stimulate collagen and elastin production which thickens and tightens thinning skin, effectively smoothing wrinkles and fine lines. Because it boosts collagen, it’s also a great treatment for improving overall skin texture and tone. PRP is extremely effective for treating difficult to treat areas, such as the delicate around eye area. PRP also stimulates hair growth on scalp.
Because it uses your own natural elements, PRP is very safe. Results from PRP take between three to four weeks to appear but are long-lasting, typically lasting 12 to 18 months after an initial series of three treatments. This treatment can be used on all skin types and colours.
