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.

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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dr Saleki is the sweetest and most professional Dr ever! I was really nervous and she completely put me at ease for my fox eye thread lift!
I was a bit nervous, Dr Mahsa was lovely, she couldn’t of been more professional and kind. I had nose threads and the procedure was quick and apart from a bit of discomfort with the anaesthetic, the rest was totally pain free. I am 3 days post treatment and still a bit swollen but other than that everything has been very smooth and I feel fine. I’m excited to see the settled results. Would I recommend, 100% yes.
First time I every had any treatment and it was a brilliant experience, The Dr was very Calm and compassionate and clear. I read about a treatment threading but she said I didn’t need it and suggested fillers and fat dissolving which has work for me, definitely go again even though it took me over 2hours to get there.
