PRP is a mature treatment that has been used by the medical industry for a long time in the fields of sport medicine and in treatment of auto-immune diseases.

More recently, cosmetic medicine has harnessed the power of PRP with amazing results in the treatment of anti-ageing.

PRP therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that utilises your own blood to rejuvenate your skin and treat other medical condition.

This treatment is based on collecting your own blood (about 10-30ml), centrifuge it and then concentrate it using specialised methods in order to extract platelet rich plasma “PRP” which is then injected using a very short needle and reintroduced into the skin to rejuvenate it (under some topical anaesthetic).

Platelets are the key to the body’s ability to stop bleeding and repair damaged blood vessels and cells in the body. When stimulated by substances from damaged tissue, the platelest release growth factors (more than 30 bioactive proteins) that facilitate cell rejuvenation, collagen production, tissue regeneration and tissue repair.

The treatment is easy to apply with no risk of allergy or transmissible disease infection e.g HIV, Hepatitis B & C infections as we are using your own blood.

PRP is used for:

• Skin Rejuvenation
