Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections are one of the most sought after natural therapies to rejuvenate the skin and reverse the ageing process. PRP, contains concentrated platelets, rich in essential growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and collagen formation. PRP is extremely beneficial when waging war on wrinkles and damaged skin because it’s a rejuvenation method that uses your own body’s cells to repair itself.

Your blood is comprised of approximately 93% red blood cells (RBC), 1% white blood cells (WBC), 6% platelets, and plasma. When platelets are activated in the body, these highly specialised sponge-like molecules, release healing proteins called growth factors. These growth factors have a range of responsibilities, a predominant feature of which is their ability to accelerate tissue repair and improve wound healing. The mechanism for the benefit of platelet rich plasma, specifically for skin rejuvenation, lies in concentrating the platelets to levels of 3 to 4 times the normal platelet concentration level and injecting this highly concentrated, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) into the areas requiring repair and rejuvenation.

PRP has a number of roles and responsibilities, aside from assisting with blood clotting; platelets also release growth factors that assist the human body to repair itself by stimulating cells to regenerate new tissue. Today, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is produced in-clinic using sophisticated equipment in a comfortable, clinically safe environment. The doctor will extract a small volume of your blood and then process your blood and concentrate the platelets to form PRP, which is then injected to areas where skin rejuvenation is required. Treatment benefits can include, plumper, firmer looking skin, wrinkle reduction, improved scar appearance and when used ono the scalp, regenerate hair growth. Patients benefit from using their own concentrated tissue growth factors to optimise tissue repair and regeneration at the treatment site. Affects are longer-term than other anti-ageing treatments and there is little downtime. Expect some redness and soreness at treatment site for 24-72 hours and avoid astringent skincare or products on the treatment area, extreme heat or direct sun for 72 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

A sample of your own blood is placed in a highly specialised, state of the art system: this system will extract the PRP from the rest of the blood in a safe, sterile manner. This is then injected into the areas that require tissue remodelling and rejuvenation.

Is PRP safe?

PRP is derived from your own blood and so you are using your own booster cells to repair and improve your skin quality and texture with profound effects on the appearance of the skin, making it much tighter, and brighter with fewer wrinkles.

Which areas can be treated with PRP?

You can use PRP to target the skin in any area but at our clinic we have found that its most effective when used to treat:

  • Wrinkled skin on the neck and décolletage
  • Ageing of the hands
  • Lines and puffiness around the eyes
  • Rejuvenation of lips
  • Acne scars
  • Stretch marks
  • Hair loss – Significant results for hair restoration
  • Scar revision stretch marks
Is there any discomfort during PRP?

Each patient has a different pain threshold. Dr. Saleki will use a topical anaesthetic to ease your comfort during the PRP treatment – most clients find this treatment to be pain free.

How long will the treatment last?

The processing of your PRP will take 20 minutes and the procedure will take on average 45 -60 minutes, depending on the area been treated.

What is the downtime of PRP?

PRP injections may bring about the possibility of developing a tiny bruise, especially on the needle’s entry point. Some patients may also experience slight swelling.

The absorption with PRP is achieved in as little as 24 hours. With all of these things considered, it can be said that PRP injection downtime can range anywhere from 1-3 days.

How many treatments will I need?

Everyone is different, therefore it depends on the individual skin type and area being treated.

However, you can have PRP treatments every 2-3 weeks or so. By stacking this needling in a series of 2-3 weeks, there is an additive effect in collagen production and contraction. Usually after 8-12 weeks, the real result is seen, and it is recommended that you have a single maintenance session every 4- 5 months.

Can I have PRP if I get Botox and Fillers?

Yes, it is a good combination to choose. PRP two weeks after Botox or fillers is ideal, as the collagen production of PRP enhances the healing of wrinkled lines and the new collagen production and remodelling of collagen for constant improvement of skin texture and appearance.

What should I avoid before and after the treatment?

We often discourage consumption of alcohol 12 hours before and after your treatment. Smoking should be avoided 6 hours before and after your treatment. Both these factors affect the likelihood of you bruising.

Other things to avoid are hot showers, saunas as well as exercise for 24 hours and avoid sunbathing or sunbeds for up to 7 days.

I treat skin every single day. 

Here is what I wish more women knew before they came to see me.

1. The biggest change in your skin after 35 is not at the surface. It is structural. The products on your shelf can support it ,but they cannot rebuild it.
2. Most women I see are doing too much. Layering actives that cancel each other out, stripping a barrier that is already struggling. 
3. SPF is the most powerful anti-ageing tool you have. Wear it every single day and reapply throughout the day.
4. You cannot out-product a poor lifestyle. Sleep, nutrition and movement do more for your skin than anything you can buy.
5. Your neck and chest are ageing faster than your face, and most people completely ignore them. Start treating them now.
6. Price is not a marker of efficiency. Some of the most clinically proven ingredients cost almost nothing. Most of what you are paying for is marketing.
7. Strong actives are not always better. Most skin issues I see come from overuse, not underuse. If something is irritating your skin, it is damaging your barrier.
8. Your skin at 40 does not need the same routine it needed at 25. Most people are following advice built for someone half their age.
9. A bad previous treatment is harder to fix than doing nothing at all. Choose your practitioner well before you choose your treatment.

If you want to know where to start with your skin treatments, a consultation is the best first step.

Most people associate CO2 laser with one thing. 

The reality is it covers a lot more. 

Acne scarring, fine lines, uneven texture, sun damage. 

Often in the same treatment. 

But, it isn't right for everyone. 

A consultation is where you find out if it's the right fit.

The ask has changed.

It's not "make me look younger." It's "make me look like myself on a good day."

Curious what that could look like for you?

A single stitch brow lift is a minimally invasive procedure.

If your brows have started to sit heavier and your eyes look less open than they used to, this is one option worth looking into.

Most people assume ageing skin is just a timeline you can't control, but a lot of it comes down to daily exposure you can.

Protecting your skin barrier now is cheaper than fixing it later.
