Platelet Rich Plasma
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma and is a preferred treatment by clients who prefer not have anything foreign injected into their bodies or who have already achieved what they want from dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle and wish to focus on creating more collagen and a firmer, stronger, fuller and tighter, brighter skin complexion.
Blood is made of four components: red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma and platelets. Your blood is taken the same way it is taken when having a blood test and it is spun in a centrifuge which facilitates the separation of the blood cells from the plasma and platelets. This is then re-injected into the skin on the face, neck, décolletage, hands and even scalp for hair regrowth and to strengthen thinning hair to stimulate collagen and new skin cells. PRP utilises the patients own platelets and therefore there is no risk of allergy or rejection of the therapy.

Because the injected product is 100% from the patient’s body factors such as smoking, stress, deficiencies, illness and lifestyle can affect results. That being said most patients see results of skin tightening and brightening in the third or fourth week. Collagen itself can take up to 3 months for the body to create.
