Skin Rejuvenation
Skin rejuvenation using PRP rejuvenate
PRP Skin Rejuvenation Therapy is a natural approach to improving the condition of your skin, and you are using your own unique tissue growth factors and healing properties to revitalise the skin by improving blood supply and stimulating collagen formation, the results of which improves and increases over time with evidence suggesting that the results of PRP Skin Rejuvenation Therapy lasts longer than chemical treatments.
Growth factors create an accumulative result, which assists the body to repair itself by regenerating new tissue, improving blood supply and wound healing, all of which are important factors in regenerative therapies.
How does PRP rejuvenate the skin and tissue?
cPRP contains high levels of platelets and when injected into skin tissue, growth factors are released, which are vital to tissue healing and repair. Tissue that is aged and damaged usually has poor texture, wrinkles, shows signs of sagging and an uneven tone. PRP treatments are often given names for example we offer the Angel™ lift and there are other names such as the Vampire Face lift.
These treatments are often used in conjunction with treatments such as Dermal Fillers to directly address the texture and health of collagen tissue.
Skin texture will improve as new tissue cells grow, and visible results are seen 3-6 weeks after treatment and continue for up to 12 -18 months.

What is PRP Skin Rejuvenation Therapy Procedure?
A small sample of your own blood is processed in a highly specialised, state of the art system, specifically designed to extract the Platelet Rich Plasma [PRP] in a safe, clinical manner and then this Platelet Rich Plasma is injected or applied in combination therapies.
What outcomes should I expect immediately following the procedure?
There may be slight swelling and redness after the procedure, but this is normal and temporary, and you will be provided with appropriate treatment and care advice.
Is there discomfort following the Platelet Rich Plasma treatment?
Each person is unique and the response to intra-dermal injections will vary, though adverse reactions are rare. Your specialist may use a topical anaesthesia before injecting the PRP. You may feel a ‘tingling’ sensation after the procedure and there may be redness, slight swelling and bruising. These symptoms will disappear.
How long will the procedure take?
The procedure will take on average 30-90mins.
What changes will I notice?
Platelet Rich Plasma encourages tissue growth and improves blood supply to tissue, both of which are important factors in anti-aging therapies. Your skin texture will improve as new tissue cells grow and visible results may take 3-6 weeks. The results continue to improve over time months and last approximately 1 – 2 years. Best results are attained through 1 to 3 consecutive treatments.
We are all unique and so results will depend upon a number of factors including your overall health status, age, dietary variations, whether you smoke, as well as a number of other health factors, including your unique skin type.
Are there any contra-indications to the use of Platelet Rich Plasma?
You must inform your specialist if you are taking medication, including blood thinning [anti-coagulant] medication, undergoing steroidal, or any long-term therapies.
