Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a natural collagen stimulant that uses the body’s own natural growth factors and stem cells to re texture and rejuvenate the skin. The treatment helps to smooth out crepey skin and encourage the natural production of skin plumping collagen and skin tightening elastin to give your skin a complete ‘boost’. We use the most advanced techniques to ensure that your PRP treatment gives you a beautiful and natural looking result.

Platelet rich plasma injections are a safe and effective treatment option for those looking to reduce the signs of ageing and restore the natural beauty of their skin. The procedure uses your own blood plasma to rejuvenate the skin, making it an excellent choice for those who want to avoid invasive procedures. PRP is a non-surgical procedure that uses the natural healing properties of your own blood to stimulate collagen production and reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of ageing.
Our injections are performed using a specialized technique that helps to ensure safe and effective results. Contact us today if you are interested in learning more about our PRP treatments and how they can help restore your youthful skin.
Platelet rich plasma injections utilize a concentration of your own blood to stimulate collagen production in the skin. After drawing a sample of your blood, it is centrifuged to separate the platelet rich plasma from the other components. The plasma is then injected into targeted areas of the face and neck to promote collagen production. This encourages the body to create new, healthy skin cells and reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging. PRP treatments can also provide long-lasting results as the body continues to produce collagen over time.
PRP treatments offer many benefits for those looking to reduce the signs of aging in their skin. They are minimally invasive and require very little downtime, making them a great alternative for those who don’t want to undergo injectable treatments with ‘packaged’ products. PRP treatments are also known to be safe and effective, with minimal risk of side effects. They can provide visible results within a few weeks or months and the results may last for years with repeat treatments.

What are Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections involve the use of a person’s own blood plasma enriched with platelets. The platelets contain a high concentration of growth factors which are used to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, as well as promote cell regeneration. The platelets are injected into the treatment area where they promote healing and rejuvenation of the skin. The injection process is generally painless, with minimal discomfort.
Why do people need Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections?

- Face – PRP can be used as a generalised injectable treatment on the skin of the face to stimulate the production of collagen & elastin to give the skin a smoother more radiant texture and tone.
- Neck & Decolletage – when PRP is injected underneath the chin and on the neck and décolletage, it will create a ‘tightening’ effect which will lift the skin and smooth out fine wrinkles.
