PRP – Platelet-Rich Plasma

Harnessing Your Body’s Natural Healing Power with Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

What is

PRP – Platelet-Rich Plasma

A PRP Facial, also known as a “Vampire Facial,” is a natural skin rejuvenation treatment that uses your body’s own healing power to restore and refresh the skin. PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a component derived from your own blood that’s rich in growth factors and regenerative cells. During the treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn, processed to isolate the PRP, and then applied or micro-needled into the skin. This stimulates collagen production, accelerates tissue repair, and enhances overall skin tone and texture.

PRP facials are ideal for reducing fine lines, improving acne scars, boosting radiance, and revitalising dull or tired-looking skin, offering visible results with minimal downtime and no synthetic ingredients.

FAQs

What is a PRP facial and how does it work?

A PRP facial, also known as a “vampire facial,” involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to extract the platelet-rich plasma, and then applying or injecting it into your skin. The growth factors in PRP stimulate collagen production and promote skin healing and rejuvenation.

What skin concerns can a PRP facial help with?

PRP facials can improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity. They are commonly used to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven pigmentation.

Is a PRP facial painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream can be applied before the treatment to reduce any pain from microneedling or injections. Some redness and sensitivity may occur post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn.

How long does it take to see results from a PRP facial?

Initial improvements may be noticeable within a few days, but optimal results usually appear after 3 to 4 weeks as collagen production increases. A series of treatments is often recommended for best results.

Are there any side effects or downtime with a PRP facial?

Side effects are generally mild and may include redness, swelling, or slight bruising for a few days. Most people return to normal activities within 24–48 hours. Since the treatment uses your own blood, allergic reactions are very rare.
