Beauty treatments can be quite unusual sometimes, but perhaps none stirs up quite as many questions as PRP, or the platelet rich plasma facial. So what exactly is PRP and what are its benefits?

What is PRP treatment for face?

Non-invasive and non-surgical beauty options are becoming increasingly popular, and platelet rich plasma treatment for your face is one treatment that's becoming more well known. The treatment is created by drawing your blood and spinning it in a special machine in order to separate out your platelets. This PRP can then be injected into your skin across your face and scalp. Use it in conjunction with other treatments to achieve the best results.

What is PRP for?

PRP is most commonly used to help to reduce the signs of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation. The benefits of this treatment are wide reaching. Because of how it stimulates the collagen in your face, it can slightly reduce the severity of scars. This makes it a highly popular treatment with celebrities, as well as anyone seeking PRP treatment for younger looking skin.

Other uses of PRP

While usually and beneficially used for aesthetic purposes, in some circumstances, PRP can also be used medically. A doctor may choose to use PRP to treat injured muscles, pain, and to promote healing after surgery. It can even be used to lessen pain caused by arthritis — so there really is a wide variety of ways in which PRP can benefit people.

How often should you get PRP?

While some people notice the impact of PRP fairly soon, it's suggested that you return for repeat treatments in order to enjoy continued and impactful benefits. The exact frequency of visits is unique to you and our consultants will be able to advise.
