How does it work?

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) is also known as the Vampire Facelift or Dracula Therapy,  is an innovative, non-surgical approach to anti-ageing, which uses your body’s own healing process to rejuvenate and restore the skin.

PRP works by using a component of the blood called platelets and plasma, which is widely known for its ability to treat burns and skin injuries. In the treatment, a small amount of blood is taken and placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma from red blood cells and other components before the refined PRP is injected into the skin using a very fine needle.

What areas can be improved?

The key to PRP is the growth factors released from the platelets. When injected into the skin, a multitude of growth factors are released which stimulate surrounding cells to start healing. This in turn encourages the production of collagen and cells to plump and add volume.

We use PRP to treat:

• Fine lines

• Superficial veins

• Acne and other scarring

• Enlarged or congested pores

• Collagen inactivity

• Helps repair sun-damaged skin

• Reduces dark circles

• Hair loss

* Hair loss:

PRP treatment can be used to help treat hair loss and hair thinning. The platelet-rich plasma helps to trigger natural hair growth. Ideally suited for men who are suffering pattern baldness to stimulate hair follicle growth. For women, it can be very effective in treating thinning hair often seen during menopause.

What results can I expect?

PRP treatment gives a rejuvenated, natural glow to the face. Skin appears less grey, and wrinkles or creased areas are given more volume. Worn skin texture appears rejuvenated and refreshed. The treatment is ideal for patients who wish to restore a more youthful appearance without surgery.

Treatment takes 1 hour 15 minutes and includes the application of local anaesthetic cream for 30 minutes. Downtime is 24-36 hours for redness to subside.
