Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is an advanced and popular treatment in aesthetics and regenerative medicine.
PRP uses the body’s own blood to derive platelet rich plasma which is then used to stimulate skin cell growth and renewal. This is done by stimulating the regeneration of new collagen and elastin and removal of damaged skin cells in a natural way. This helps to tighten, plump and rejuvenate the skin to slow and reverse the signs of ageing.
​
Our choice of PRP system results in a very high concentration of platelets which release growth factors and stem cells to stimulate the formation of new connective tissue. The platelets injected contain growth factions which are responsible for wound healing, tissue regeneration, collagen and elastin production, vascular re-growth and connective tissue formation.
​
Due to the fact the PRP treatment uses the patient’s own blood, the result is natural and without risk of significant side effects.
