The PRP facial uses your own blood's healing power to rejuvenate skin naturally.

Here's what happens. I draw a small blood sample, spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate your platelets, then reintroduce that golden plasma into your skin through microneedling or injection. No synthetic fillers. No paralysing toxins. Just your biology doing what it does best: healing.

Your platelets contain growth factors that trigger collagen production, elastin formation, and new blood vessel growth. In my cardiac days, we used these same principles to help surgical wounds regenerate. Now I use them to help skin heal, glow, and thrive.

The goal isn't to reshape or fill. It's to restore your skin's structure from within.

Let me explain what's happening beneath the surface.

Your platelets are packed with growth factors. These are natural proteins responsible for tissue repair and regeneration. When I inject PRP into your skin, those growth factors get to work:

Fibroblasts activate. These are the cells that produce collagen and elastin. More fibroblast activity means firmer, more resilient skin.

Cell turnover accelerates. Your skin sheds dull, damaged cells and replaces them with fresh ones. The result? Brighter, smoother texture.

New blood vessels form. This process is called neoangiogenesis. Better circulation means better oxygen and nutrient delivery to your skin cells.

Damaged tissue repairs itself. Scars soften. Fine lines smooth. Uneven texture improves.

Anatomically speaking, PRP supports dermal regeneration through your own biology. There's nothing synthetic here. Just your body healing itself with precision.

PRP is one of the most versatile treatments in regenerative aesthetics. Patients come to me for:

• Improved skin tone and texture

• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles

• Faded acne scars and pigmentation

• Tighter, firmer skin

• Enhanced hydration and radiance

• Hollowed under-eyes with dark circles

• Post-treatment healing support after laser or microneedling

I use PRP safely and effectively on:

• Face (especially cheeks, under-eyes, around the mouth)

• Neck

• Décolletage

• Hands

• Scalp (for hair restoration)

Every treatment plan is anatomical. I identify where your skin will benefit most from regeneration, then create a strategy around that.

Here's what to expect when you're in my clinic:

Step 1: Blood draw I take a small sample from your arm. Usually 10 to 20ml. It's the same as a routine blood test.

Step 2: Centrifugation Your blood goes into a centrifuge and spins at high speed. This separates the platelet-rich plasma from red and white blood cells. That golden layer in the middle? That's your liquid gold.

Step 3: Application I apply your PRP through microneedling or inject it directly into targeted areas. The delivery method depends on what your skin needs.

Step 4: Recovery I apply a soothing serum to help your skin settle.

The entire process takes 45 to 60 minutes. You'll look slightly flushed afterwards, like mild sunburn. That settles within 24 to 48 hours.

Discomfort is minimal.

I apply topical anaesthetic before microneedling or injections. It numbs the skin effectively. Most patients describe the sensation as mild scratching or tingling. Nothing unbearable.

If you're nervous, tell me. I'll adjust my technique and take breaks as needed.

Best results come from three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.

You'll notice improvements after your first treatment. But the full regenerative effects build gradually as collagen and elastin production ramp up over weeks.

Think of it like strength training for your skin. One workout helps. A consistent program transforms.

For maintenance, I recommend top-ups every 6 to 12 months depending on your skin health and age.

You'll start noticing a healthy glow within two to three weeks.

Deeper collagen remodeling takes longer.

Around 8 to 12 weeks. Your skin renews itself naturally, which means results continue improving for up to six months after your final session.

PRP isn't instant. It's biological. The results are slower than filler or toxin, but far more natural and regenerative. You're rebuilding tissue, not just masking problems.

Minimal.

You may experience:

• Redness for 12 to 48 hours

• Mild swelling or tenderness

• Tiny pinpoint marks from microneedling

Avoid makeup, intense exercise, sun exposure, and active skincare for 24 hours. Your skin may feel tight or warm initially, but it settles quickly into a luminous, healthy glow.

Most patients book Friday appointments and look fresh by Monday.

Yes.

Because we use your own blood plasma, there's no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. PRP has been used safely in medicine for decades. From wound healing to orthopaedics to surgery.

I prepare all PRP under sterile clinical conditions using CE-marked devices. My cardiac nursing background means every aspect gets handled with hospital-grade precision.

Venepuncture. Centrifugation. Injection technique. I don't cut corners.

The main risks with any injectable come from poor technique or compromised sterility. That's why medical training matters.

They're completely different treatments.

Dermal fillers add volume or reshape specific areas. They're structural support.

PRP stimulates your skin's natural regeneration. It's biological rejuvenation.

Think of fillers as scaffolding. PRP is the construction crew rebuilding the foundation. It improves the quality of your existing tissue rather than adding structure.

I often use both in combination. Filler for volume where needed, PRP for overall skin quality. They work beautifully together.

Absolutely.

PRP excels at treating acne scarring, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and textural irregularities. It promotes new collagen and capillary formation, which gradually remodels scar tissue.

For deep scars, I often combine PRP with microneedling, chemical peels, or polynucleotides depending on scar type and depth. Layering treatments gives better outcomes than any single modality alone.

Yes. PRP works synergistically with other regenerative treatments.

In clinic, I often pair it with:

• Microneedling for enhanced collagen stimulation

• Polynucleotides or exosomes for cellular repair

• Profhilo for hydration and bio-remodeling

• Laser resurfacing for advanced rejuvenation

We'll design a plan that suits your skin's needs, healing capacity, and timing. Not everything needs to happen at once.

PRP works well for patients who:

• Want natural skin rejuvenation

• Have fine lines, dullness, or early aging

• Are recovering from acne or sun damage

• Prefer treatments using their own biology

• Want to support their skin's long-term health

It's not suitable if you have blood disorders, active infections, or certain autoimmune conditions. During consultation, I'll take a full medical history to ensure safety.

Side effects are rare and typically mild:

• Redness or bruising at injection sites

• Temporary swelling or sensitivity

• Minimal downtime (usually under 48 hours)

Because it's your own plasma, reaction risk is negligible. The main concerns come from poor technique or sterility issues. That's why I only perform PRP in clinical settings with proper protocols.

If you bruise easily, avoid blood thinners like aspirin or ibuprofen for 48 hours before treatment (unless medically necessary).
