Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections effectively

  • Stimulates hair growth
  • Increases circulation under the eyes, improving skin quality, wrinkles and undereye darkness
  • In conjunction with microneedling treatments, also referred to as the Vampire Facial - increase collagen production, improve scarring & reduce fine lines

How do platelets promote healing?

Platelets are naturally found in your blood, where they’re rich sources of proteins called growth factors. When you’re injured, growth factors promote healing and trigger new tissue growth

How is PRP administered?

The treatment of PRP involves a fraction of blood, collected or ‘drawn up’ from the individual patient into a syringe. The collected blood is then spun down in a special centrifuge to separate its components. The platelet rich plasma is then reinjected, and/or micro-needled back into the skin.

When will I begin to see results from a PRP treatment?

This can vary person to person - optimal results are usually seen after 3 sessions. Maintenance treatments are recommended after (every 6-8 months) after the first initial 3 sessions.

Is there any downtime with PRP?

There is no downtime associated PRP injections. After your treatment, your skin may be red - this is normal and to be expected. Redness usually lasts up to 24 hours. You may also have a little swelling in some areas. Healing time varies from patient to patient. (Redness may last longer if PRP injections are paired with micro-needling)
