What Is A Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment?
Platelet-Rich Plasma, commonly known as PRP, is a regenerative treatment derived from a patient’s own blood. This treatment involves a process of drawing blood, separating out the plasma component through centrifugation, and injecting this plasma into specific areas of the skin.
PRP is rich in growth factors that help stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, tissue regeneration, and cell turnover, all essential processes in maintaining skin health and slowing signs of aging.
Since PRP utilises the client’s own blood, it is biocompatible and has a minimal risk of allergic reactions. This treatment is ideal for those looking for a subtle, natural approach to skin rejuvenation, supporting smoother texture and a more even complexion over time.

What to Expect During Your Treatment
Consultation & Skin Prep
We begin with a consultation to assess your skin goals. Your face is then cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
Blood Draw
A small amount of your blood is drawn (similar to a routine blood test). This is used to extract your PRP, platelet-rich plasma, which is packed with growth factors.
PRP Separation
Your blood is placed in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma rich in healing properties. This golden concentrate is what helps stimulate collagen and tissue repair.
Microneedling
Using a skin needling device, we create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This allows for deeper absorption of the PRP and activates your skin's natural regeneration process.
PRP Application
The PRP is gently massaged into your skin during and after microneedling, helping to promote healing, boost collagen production, and improve overall texture and tone.
Aftercare & Glow
You'll leave with post-care instructions to protect your skin as it heals. Over the next few weeks, expect to see improved radiance, smoother skin, and gradual rejuvenation.
Before Your Treatment
In the days leading up to your appointment, it’s best to avoid anti-inflammatory medications (unless otherwise directed by your GP). Stay well hydrated and enjoy a balanced meal on the day of your session. We also recommend limiting alcohol and sun exposure for at least 24-48 hours prior.
After Your Treatment
Following your session, we suggest avoiding strenuous exercise, heat-based activities, and direct sun exposure for the first 48 hours. Hold off on active skincare ingredients for a few days, and focus on keeping your skin well hydrated with a gentle moisturiser. Your practitioner will provide tailored aftercare instructions based on your treatment plan.

This treatment involves the drawing of blood, separating the plasma component through centrifugation, and injecting the plasma into specific areas of the skin.

Yes. Many clients explore regeneration around the under-eye area. Your practitioner will assess whether a treatment in that region is suitable for you during consultation.
