PRP skin rejuvenation

How PRP rejuvenates the skin.

PRP treatments use natural elements extracted from your own blood to nourish and stimulate new growth in the skin.

To understand how PRP works to create fresh and youthful skin naturally we need to understand what effects the skin as it ages.

As we age the skin slows down its processes and the building blocks needed to give skin its elasticity and structure begin to subside. Without the structure and support expression lines form and the elasticity reduces. The fibroblasts (cells) that create new components in the skin slow down, so repair is slow.

The same process is used successfully to treat slow healing wounds and to repair the bodies joints and structures.

Repairing and restoring

To repair the skin and give it back its elasticity and structure we use your own blood. We take a sample of blood and then process it to extract elements such as platelets and stem cells. We inject this back into the skin to boost the reproduction of the vital elements to restore the skin and help it to rejuvenate itself.

The results are ongoing and long lasting, patients remark on how natural the effects are and that it has restored their youthful appearance without looking fake or “overdone” , even better without the use of foreign/chemical products.

PRP Skin Rejuvenation Therapy lasts longer than chemical treatments. Growth factors create an accumulative result, which assists the body to repair itself by regenerating new tissue, improving blood supply and wound healing, all of which are important factors in regenerative therapies.

To treat yourself to a youthful skin you will need to have a full consultation with us and the selected treatments will be tailored to suit what you are looking to achieve.

A consultation is required prior to treatment. Consultation is priced at £50, if you choose to go ahead with the treatment this will be then discounted from the final price.

How many treatments are needed?

For optimum results 3 treatments of PRP are recommended each one month apart, some clients have benefited and are happy with results after just one treatment so this will need to be assessed on an individual basis during consultation.

Is it safe?

This treatment is an autologous treatment which means the chances of any side effects is significantly low, if not non-existent.

How long does it last?

Results from this treatment have been shown to last between 1-2 years.

Does it hurt ?

Numbing cream is applied to the area being treated, also advise taking some pain relief before treatment, please avoid Ibuprofen, paracetamol or co-codamol is recommended. Treatment is administered using a very fine needle discomfort is minimized as much as possible on average pain scoring is given 4/5 out of 10.

Where do I go?

This can be decided at consultation, as there are a number of clinics that you can select to have your treatment from.

What is the cost?

The cost can vary, we use two PRP machines, one offers a more concentrated end product and naturally requires more blood from the client, this is a more sophisticated machine and is very popular in some of the Italian hair clinics. The cost of this this treatment starts at £1250 per treatment.

The other machine used is priced at £600 per treatment, here a smaller sample of blood is taken, treatment is still effective and is widely used in America. This was an added option so that the treatment is more user friendly at a more client friendly price.

What results should I expect?

Hair is more nourished, thicker and healthier, and skin is brighter, plumper and smoother. Individual results can vary dependent on factors such as genetics, age and lifestyle choices.

When should I consider treatment?

Treatment works best if started early on when signs are becoming apparent. Deeper lines/folds will required more treatment sessions in comparison to less creppy skin etc. This is the same for Hair and Skin regeneration, the sooner treatment is started the better the outcomes, “prevention is better than cure”.
