A PRP facial is a treatment for natural skin rejuvenation using autologous platelets naturally present in the body. The treatment uses Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP); stem cells and growth factors in the plasma to repair and renew the tissue for facial rejuvenation. The PRP treatment, includes drawing blood from your arm, the blood is then spun in a specialist machine which separates the platelets, and the plasma is then either micro-needled or injected into your skin.
PRP therapy is a safe and completely natural treatment with no artificial products being injected into the body. By activating platelets (to release growth factors from granules in the platelets), the treatment is made even more successful, especially when combined with micro-needling.

What Can I Expect During & After The PRP Facial Procedure?
During the PRP Facial treatment procedure, a small amount of blood will be drawn and then processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. The PRP is then injected into the skin using a fine needle. The procedure takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area.
After the PRP Facial, you may experience some redness, swelling, and bruising in the treated area. These side effects are usually mild and temporary and typically resolve within a few days. You can resume normal activities immediately following the procedure, although it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for a few days.
How Long Does it Take for PRP Facial to Heal?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial is a cosmetic treatment that involves injecting your own plasma into the skin to improve its texture and appearance. The healing time after a PRP facial can vary depending on the individual, their skin type, and the extent of the treatment.
Typically, you can expect some redness, swelling, and bruising for a few days after the procedure. The full healing process may take a week or two, during which time you are advised to avoid direct sunlight and use gentle skin care products. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our healthcare professionals who perform the procedure to ensure optimal healing and results.
Is PRP better than Botox?
PRP and Botox are both cosmetic treatments for improving skin appearance, but they have different approaches. PRP involves injecting your own plasma to stimulate collagen production, while Botox relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles.
The choice depends on your goals, with PRP being a more natural and long-lasting solution, while Botox is temporary and needs repeated applications. Our healthcare professionals can help determine which treatment is best for you.
What Will My Face Look Like After PRP?
After a PRP facial, expect some redness, swelling, and bruising in the treated areas. However, this is generally mild and resolves within a few days. Some patients also report a slight tingling or tightness sensation in the skin, which is a normal response to the treatment.
Over time, the skin should begin to look brighter, smoother, and more youthful as the PRP stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture. It’s important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by our healthcare professionals who perform the procedure to ensure optimal healing and results. The full effects of the treatment may take a few weeks to become apparent.
How Often Should you Have a PRP Facial?
The frequency of PRP Facial treatment sessions varies from person to person and depends on individual goals and skin conditions. In general, three to four treatments are required about four weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every six to twelve months.
