WHAT IS PLATELET RICH PLASMA?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Face Treatment
A Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) face treatment, also known as a Vampire facial, is an advanced skin treatment which is great for skin rejuvenation. It’s a treatment which uses your own blood platelets to stimulate new cell growth, helping to improve your complexion and skin texture.
PRP is an established injection therapy to enhance tissue regeneration. PRP therapy is an excellent treatment that uses a small amount of your own blood to stimulate the production of collagen and new skin cells.
DOES PRP HURT?
There is some minor discomfort and a very mild stinging sensation may be felt but these are done with a very fine needle to minimise any pain.

In addition, this treatment is not recommended for people undergoing anticoagulation treatments, suffering from autoimmune conditions, or who have contracted any type of cancer, have severe anaemia, low platelet count, abnormal platelet function and active systemic infection may not be eligible
PRP face treatments offer clients long lasting, effective skin rejuvenation through the body’s own platelets and natural processes.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS PRP FACE TREATMENT?

The organic nature of the procedure is ideal for those who wish to avoid synthetic products and processes.
PRP therapy is non-gender-specific, so both men and women are able to benefit and enjoy a natural, more youthful look. PRP face treatment require no surgical interventions. The improvement to the skin’s appearance after PRP treatment is subtle and natural, with lasting results.
