The PRP Treatment
PRP is typically administered via injection into the skin but can also be combined with Microneedling or CO2 Fractional Laser treatments. These techniques create micro-injuries to the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The procedure takes approximately 60 minutes, during which a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to minimise discomfort.
Initially, a small sample of blood is drawn from the patient. This is then processed using centrifugation in order to isolate the PRP, which contains a high concentration of growth factors that are essential for skin renewal. The PRP is then applied either with fine needles or in conjunction with Microneedling or Fractional Laser. This allows the PRP to penetrate deeply into the dermis, promoting cellular regeneration.
