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.
What exactly is PRP?
We all have platelets in our blood. PRP is 3-step procedure that involves having your blood:
- Drawn from your arm
- Placed into a centrifuge, that separates the platelets from the rest of your blood
- Re-injected into your face, only the part of your blood that contains a high concentration of platelets using a syringe or micro needling.
How does PRP work?
When the PRP is re-injected into the skin, growth factors are released by the platelets. This promotes healing and stimulates collagen production. Collagen, found naturally in the body, is the foundation of a youthful appearance. During the aging process less, collagen is produced resulting in decreased volume, lines and wrinkles. Through stimulating collagen production, PRP helps to promote even skin tone, reduced scarring, improved skin texture resulting in healthy, resilient, hydrated skin.
There is no bad candidate for PRP– whether you’re 20 or 50.’ It is also good for your blood flow and brilliant as an anti-ageing tactic. Orthopedic surgeons use PRP to help athletes recover more quickly after an injury.
If you have PRP to treat signs of aging on your skin, here’s what to expect:
· A healthy, youthful glow
· Reduced wrinkles and lines
· Plump up sagging skin and enhanced facial volume

How long does PRP therapy last?
Following a full course of treatment (3 treatments at 4-6 week intervals) the results of PRP therapy can be expected to last up to 18 months. A one-off treatment, can be expected to last for several months.
