Platelet Rich Plasma Facial

What is a Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) facial?

 

A “PRP Facial” is a skin treatment that uses your own platelet rich plasma (PRP) which is packed with growth factors that help with collagen genesis.

 

  • A small amount of your blood is drawn (about 10 mls per tube) and spun in a centrifuge machine.

  • The centrifugation process separates the red blood cells and the PRP, which is then drawn up into syringes and is ready to be used in the skin.

  • PRP can either be injected using small needles, a blunt tip cannula or micro needled using the MPen needling device.

  • Once injected, the growth factors then “activate” and continue to activate for 4-10 days post injection.

    •  

    PRP is proven to increase the number of collagen fibres in the skin, improved skin texture and elasticity as well as decreasing hair loss and increasing hair volume and strength.

    What’s involved?

    • Education, discussion about realistic results, consent and before photos.

    • Blood draw and centrifuge spin

    • Facial cleanse and topical anaesthetic application

    • PRP is then drawn up into syringes and either injected or micro needled into the skin.

    • Post needling, a Mesoestetic crystal fibre mask (containing anti-inflammatory properties and hyaluronic acid) is applied for 15 minutes. After care products and SPF is applied prior to discharge.

     

    What’s the down time?

    • It’s normal to experience some redness and puffiness for 12-24 hours post procedure. If you have had microneedling as part of your treatment, you can expect to have some light shedding or peeling of the skin. It’s advised that you do not use skin care products that contain active ingredients for a minimum of 3 days post procedure.
