PRP TREATMENT FACT SHEET
What is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It is a regenerative treatment created using a small sample of your own blood.
The blood is placed into a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components. The concentrated plasma is then injected or applied to the chosen treatment area.
Platelets contain naturally occurring growth factors that may support healing, collagen production and tissue renewal.
What can PRP help improve?
PRP may help to:
* Soften the appearance of fine lines
* Improve skin texture and tone
* Support collagen and elastin production
* Improve the appearance of tired under-eyes
* Promote firmer, healthier-looking skin
* Reduce the appearance of some acne scars
* Support hair growth and scalp health
* Create gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation
Results vary between clients and cannot be guaranteed.
What areas can be treated?
PRP can be used on the:
* Under-eye area
* Face and cheeks
* Fine lines around the mouth
* Nasolabial folds
* Marionette lines
* Neck and décolletage
* Hands
* Scalp and areas of thinning hair
What happens during treatment?
1. A consultation and medical assessment are completed.
2. A small amount of blood is taken from your arm.
3. The blood is processed in a centrifuge.
4. The platelet-rich plasma is carefully collected.
5. The PRP is injected or applied to the chosen treatment area.
PRP may also be combined with microneedling, depending on the treatment plan and the practitioner’s qualifications.
Treatment usually takes approximately 45–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
When will I see results?
PRP does not create an instant or permanent result. It works gradually by supporting the body’s natural repair process.
Some clients begin to notice improvements within a few weeks. Skin texture, firmness and collagen-related changes may continue developing over the following months.
How many treatments will I need?
A course of treatments is often recommended. The number and timing of sessions will depend on:
* The treatment area
* Your skin or hair concerns
* Your age and general health
* Your individual response
* The results you would like to achieve
Your practitioner will create a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.
How long do results last?
Results vary according to age, lifestyle, skin condition, treatment area and individual response. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to help preserve the effects.
Is there any downtime?
Most clients can return to normal activities shortly afterwards. Temporary effects may include:
* Redness
* Swelling
* Tenderness
* Bruising
* Mild itching or sensitivity
* Small raised areas at the injection points
* Temporary tightness or dryness
These effects commonly settle within a few days. Under-eye swelling may occasionally last longer.
Who may not be suitable?
PRP may not be appropriate if you:
* Are pregnant or breastfeeding
* Have an active infection or skin condition in the treatment area
* Have certain blood, platelet or clotting disorders
* Have severe anaemia
* Have uncontrolled diabetes or another poorly controlled medical condition
* Are taking blood-thinning medication
* Have certain immune-system conditions
* Are currently receiving certain cancer treatments
This list is not exhaustive. Your full medical history and medication must be discussed honestly during consultation.
Never stop prescribed medication unless advised by the clinician who prescribed it.
Before your appointment
* Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours.
* Drink plenty of water.
* Eat before attending your appointment.
* Arrive with clean skin where possible.
* Avoid strenuous exercise immediately before treatment.
* Tell your practitioner about all medical conditions, allergies, medicines and supplements.
* Do not stop prescribed medication without medical advice.
Aftercare
For the first 24–48 hours:
* Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area unnecessarily.
* Avoid makeup for the period advised by your practitioner.
* Avoid intense exercise, alcohol, saunas, steam rooms and excessive heat.
* Avoid swimming and strenuous activity.
* Use gentle skincare and a daily SPF.
* Avoid retinoids, acids, scrubs and strong active products until the skin has settled.
* Do not massage the area unless instructed.
* Keep the treatment area clean.
Contact your practitioner if you experience worsening pain, increasing heat or redness, unusual skin-colour changes, discharge, visual disturbance or any symptom that concerns you.
Important information
Because PRP is prepared from your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction to the injected material is reduced. However, PRP is still an invasive treatment and carries possible risks, including bruising, swelling, discomfort, infection, asymmetry and an unsatisfactory result.
A full consultation, medical assessment and informed consent are required before treatment.
