FAQs – PRP Plasma Facial
What is a PRP facial?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment involves using your body’s own blood to extract plasma rich in growth factors. These growth factors stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote natural rejuvenation. It’s a safe, minimally invasive treatment that harnesses your body’s natural healing processes.
How does the platelet-rich plasma facial work?
A small amount of blood is drawn, and the platelets are concentrated to create a plasma-rich solution. This is applied to the skin to promote collagen production and regeneration.
What can a plasma facial treat?
A plasma facial can treat fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and general skin texture issues.
Why is it important to eat cleanly and stay hydrated before PRP treatment?
No, PRP treatments at our clinic are nothing like the scary “vampire facials” you may have seen in the media, like Kim Kardashian’s. During your treatment, we ensure precision, cleanliness, and comfort, leaving you with a natural, refreshed appearance. You won’t look bloody or alarming before, during, or after your session.
Why is it important to eat cleanly and stay hydrated before PRP treatment?
Your plasma is a direct reflection of what you eat and drink. For optimal results, we recommend eating a clean, nutrient-rich diet and staying well hydrated for 1 to 2 weeks before your treatment. A healthy lifestyle helps improve the quality of your plasma, which leads to better outcomes for your skin.
How long do results from a plasma facial last?
Results can last for several months, with the skin continuing to improve as collagen builds over time.
Is there downtime after a PRP facial?
There is minimal downtime, with most patients experiencing some redness for a day or two, after which they can return to normal activities.
How is PRP treatment performed at your clinic?
We use a state-of-the-art V2 injector to deliver PRP with supreme accuracy. This advanced device ensures precise injection depth, minimising downtime, reducing the risk of bruising, and providing consistently excellent results.
How long does the treatment take?
A plasma facial treatment typically takes about an hour, including the time to process the platelets.
When will I see results from a plasma facial?
You’ll begin to see results within a few weeks as your skin starts to regenerate, with improvements continuing over the following months.
Is a PRP facial safe?
Yes, because the treatment uses your own platelets, it’s considered very safe, with a low risk of allergic reactions.
What are growth factors, and why are they important?
Growth factors are proteins found in your plasma that play a key role in cell regeneration and healing. By concentrating these growth factors and injecting them into your skin, PRP treatments boost collagen production, improve skin texture, and encourage natural rejuvenation.
Can a plasma facial help with acne scars?
Yes, the PRP facial can improve the appearance of acne scars by promoting collagen and healing in the skin.
