Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma is a form of regenerative medicine that works by taking a sample of your own blood. The sample is then placed into a centrifuge to separate out the concentrated platelets, which are then injected into the desired area of treatment. PRP can be used for skin rejuvenation and to treat thinning hair.
When used as a treatment for the skin the growth factors released by PRP stimulate elastin and collagen, thickening the epidermis and providing improvement to skin texture and tone.
PRP can also be combined with Morpheus 8 treatment to complement and boost the results, delivering growth factors directly to the deeper layers of the skin further enhancing the regenerative process.
PRP treatment for hair loss works by increasing blood supply and stimulating hair follicles, which in return regenerates and thickens the hair.

How does Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment work?
Consultation
The first step involves having a consultation with one of our expert doctors. Our doctor will assess your area of concern, expectations and create a tailored bespoke treatment plan for you. Most of our patients will have treatment(s) on the same day, but you can defer this for another date. Our doctors will proceed with a consent process and explain the procedure.
Treatment
The PRP treatment involves taking a sample of your own blood. The sample is then placed into a centrifuge to separate out the concentrated platelets, which are then injected into the desired area of treatment.
To maximise patient comfort we use numbing cream and a very fine needle to deliver the treatment. The treatment takes approximately 20 minutes to deliver however 1 hour is scheduled to accommodate for consultation, preparation and post treatment advice.
Aftercare
After the procedure, your doctor will go through the aftercare, which involves no alcohol, exercise, makeup or touching the treated areas for the rest of the day. A comprehensive aftercare guide will be provided to you and discussed in detail on the day.
