Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy can be used to treat overall loss of volume in the face and an ageing complexion.
A PRP treatment involves the use of your own blood plasma to rejuvenate a tired complexion. Platelet Rich Plasma contains certain growth factors that are central to tissue regeneration and repair, and also take part in stimulating new blood vessel formation and connective tissue (collagen and elastin) repair.
The treatment involves several injections of 10 to 20ml of your own plasma, which is taken via a blood sample and centrifuged to separate and concentrate the platelets from the blood. The whole treatment takes approximately one hour, with results taking about three months to appear. Regen PRP and EmCyte PRP, which both use your own blood to regenerate your skin, are our top picks in this space.
