PRP Therapy
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. Firstly your skin will be cleaned and blood will be drawn from the arm in order to extract the platelets. Your blood will then be spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the blood. When this plasma is injected into the skin, the growth factors within the plasma begin to stimulate new collagen production.
PRP Therapy for the Undereye
Gradually and naturally, volume loss that’s caused by the natural course of aging is reversed. Specifically, the under eye area is restored, resulting in a brighter, smoother, more youthful appearance. PRP Therapy under the eyes helps to tighten loose skin around the eyes, lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and eliminate bags under the eyes..
As far as under-eye circles go, it is also the best known treatment to date for dark circles caused by hollowness or pigmented skin. The science behind the tratment is that the platelet-rich plasma will induce your under-eye area to create more collagen and blood vessels and thicken the skin there. In turn, you not only have new skin with a healthier structure but there will also be more flesh in between your blood vessels under your eyes and the skin of your face. Both of those things reduce the appearance of under-eye circles, which has been repeatedly proven in studies.
PRP Therapy for Hair Loss
Injecting the growth factor-rich plasma into the scalp helps to stimulate the hair follicles and promote new hair growth
PRP Therapy for the Hands
Stimulates cell regeneration and new growth, which in turn takes wrinkles, mottled skin and makes it smoother and more youthful.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the treatment take to work?
We advise all our clients to be patient and let your skin and scalp heal properly hence this varies for everyone. For the skin and face concerns it will takes few weeks for the results to show. However, it is recommended for two to three top up treatments for results to last up to 12 to 18 months.
What is the downtime?
There is no recovery time period with the PRP treatment however, we do ask clients to take precaution after their treatment. The side effects are rare but occasionally some clients may experience bruising, pain and redness in the treated area. This will subside overtime.
Does it hurt?
Pain is minimal and sometimes we use a numbing cream prior to the treatment depending on the area being treated.
Who should avoid PRP?
PRP therapy isn’t suitable for everyone. Here’s a breakdown of people who generally should avoid PRP injections:
Medical Conditions:
Blood Clotting Disorders: If you have a condition that affects blood clotting, you might be at higher risk of bleeding after the injection.
Autoimmune Diseases: Certain autoimmune diseases can increase the risk of complications from injections with PRP, as it concentrates inflammatory substances.
Uncontrolled Diabetes: Uncontrolled diabetes can impair healing and increase infection risks, making PRP less suitable.
Other Considerations:
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Due to a lack of safety data, PRP is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Active Infection: Having an active infection anywhere in the body increases the risk of infection at the injection site.
Certain Medications: Taking blood thinners or medications that suppress the immune system might need to be paused before and after PRP treatment, depending on your doctor’s advice.
Severe Allergies: If you have a history of severe allergic reactions to injectable substances, PRP might not be suitable.
Very Thin Skin: In some cases, with very thin skin under the eyes for example, fillers might be a more appropriate option than PRP.
PRP Therapy Risks and Side Effects
PRP therapy is generally considered a safe procedure, but like any medical intervention, it does carry some potential risks and side effects. Here’s a breakdown of what to consider:
General Risks of Injections:
Infection: As with any injection, there’s a slight risk of infection at the injection site. Proper sterilisation techniques by the healthcare provider can minimise this risk.
Pain and Discomfort: You might experience some pain or discomfort during the injection itself and potentially some soreness or tenderness at the injection site afterward.
Bleeding: Minor bleeding at the injection site is possible.
Nerve Injury: There’s a very small risk of accidentally nicking a nerve during the injection.
Tissue Damage: Improper injection technique could damage surrounding tissues.
Risks Specific to PRP:
Allergic Reaction: While rare, an allergic reaction to the concentrated platelets in PRP is possible.
Incomplete or Unsatisfactory Results: PRP results can vary depending on individual factors, and the desired outcome might not be fully achieved.
