London’s Trusted PRP Facial Specialists

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facials can do wonders for your skin by promoting rejuvenation and enhancing the look of your ageing skin. This is because the platelet-rich plasma that has been used in the treatment came from the patient’s own blood. It helps stimulate the production of collagen because it has growth factors that also aid in proper healing. It helps in the improvement of skin texture and tone and reduces facial scars and dark spots.

Your doctor will evaluate your overall health and discuss your goals, concerns, and medical history. Your doctor will get a small amount of your blood after you pass the initial screening. The PRP will be separated from other blood components with the use of a centrifuge. Makeup, oil, and any debris will be removed by cleansing your face. A numbing cream will be applied to minimise the pain during the treatment. After all is set, your doctor will begin the PRP injections or topical applications into your face, depending on what types of PRP treatment you choose and what is suitable for you based on your skin evaluation. An aftercare guide that you need to follow will be provided by your doctor right after your treatment.

How long does the process last?

It will take from one hour to one hour and 30 minutes to finish the PRP facial treatment. Your doctor’s process is also a big factor in how long it will take. The procedure has minimal downtime compared to those invasive procedures. Some patients usually return to their normal activities after two days. However, a full recovery may take about 2 weeks.

You can combine PRP facials with other treatments for further results. Popular pairings include microneedling for collagen building, lasers to target pigmentation and texture, or dermal fillers to address volume loss. Milder chemical peels will make PRP penetrate deeper inside, and Botox will address dynamic wrinkles. Radiofrequency treatments help tighten skin, while LED light therapy decreases inflammation and speeds recovery. It is important to meet with a board-certified dermatologist who can create an individualised regimen for your needs and concerns.

Is it good for sensitive skin?

PRP facials can be beneficial to individuals with sensitive skin. It reduces the chance of allergic reactions because it uses the patient’s own blood. It also promotes proper healing. The use of microneedling, for some individuals, causes irritation or inflammation. A patch test may help to see how your skin will react to the treatment. Consult your skincare specialist for a proper evaluation.

After the treatment, your face will look smoother and younger. We recommend having a follow-up treatment every 4 weeks. To get optimal results, a series of 3-5 treatments is needed.

How do I maintain good skin after a series of PRP facials?

You should consider using products with gentle ingredients, moisturiser, and sunscreen in your daily regimen. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, like avoiding smoking and drinking alcohol, can help maintain the results. Cigarettes and alcohol can make your skin dry. It will also be a big help if you manage your stress, exercise on a regular basis, and get a complete hour of sleep. Following these steps will help you look younger and prettier as you age. Regular checkups will help as well.

PRP face treatment has a low chance of having a side effect. But you still need to check out for any symptoms like signs of infection, fever, or pain that do not subside for more than 2 weeks. If you experience these, call your doctor immediately.

Can I wear make-up after my treatment?

Wait 24 hours after your PRP face therapy before applying makeup. This will let your skin rest and recover from the treatment. It will also avoid blocking the pores and irritating the skin.
