Platelet rich plasma
What is it?
The all-natural treatment, also known as the vampire facial, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is “harvested” from your own blood.PRP is a concentration our bodies own growth factor which assist in the remodelling of tissue.
This resulting PRP is introduced back under the skin by a series of tiny injections. In other words: We want to mimic the natural wound-healing process. PRP is a concentration of healing platelets and nutrient rich plasma.

What to expect
A blood sample of 8 or 16 mls is taken from your arm. The blood is immediately placed in the centrifuge for 20 minutes. When centrifugation is complete your plasma will be separated from your red blood cells. The plasma, rich in platelets, is then extracted.
The process takes around an hour. The skin area(s) to be treated are numbed with a topical anaesthetic cream. You can expect to have some redness, swelling and bruising, subsiding quickly over the following 4-7 days.
