Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment
PRP Treatment: Regenerate. Restore. Rejuvenate.
From £299
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment uses a small sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate its natural growth factors, which is then reintroduced into the skin. This encourages the body’s own repair mechanisms, supporting collagen production and tissue renewal.
Popular for improving overall skin quality, texture and radiance, PRP is also frequently combined with microneedling to enhance absorption and results. Because it uses your own biological material, it’s a well-tolerated option with minimal downtime.

What Is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Platelet rich plasma, usually shortened to PRP, uses your own blood as the treatment. A small sample is taken and spun in a centrifuge to separate out the plasma fraction richest in platelets — the cells that carry the growth factors your body relies on to repair injured tissue.
That concentrated plasma is then reintroduced into the area being treated, either by injection or alongside microneedling, where the growth factors stimulate collagen production, improve blood supply and accelerate repair. Because the material comes from you, there is no risk of allergy or rejection, which is why PRP is described as a genuinely regenerative treatment.
Every PRP session follows three stages:
- 1. Blood Draw: A small sample of blood is taken from your arm, much like a routine blood test.
- 2. Separation: The sample is spun in a centrifuge for several minutes to concentrate the platelets and separate the plasma.
- 3. Reintroduction: The platelet rich plasma is injected into the treatment area, or worked in during microneedling, releasing growth factors that trigger repair.
Targeted Treatment Areas
PRP can be used across the face, scalp and body wherever tissue repair and collagen stimulation are needed:
- Face: Overall skin quality, fine lines, dullness, acne scarring and thin, tired under-eye skin.
- Scalp: Early-stage hair thinning and shedding in both men and women, improving density and hair shaft quality.
- Neck, Décolletage & Hands: Crepey texture, laxity and sun-damaged skin.
Key Benefits of PRP Treatment
- Completely Natural: Uses only your own blood, with no synthetic products, so there is no risk of allergic reaction.
- Stimulates Collagen: Growth factors prompt genuine tissue regeneration rather than a purely temporary cosmetic effect.
- Improves Skin Quality: Skin becomes firmer, brighter and better hydrated with improved texture and tone.
- Supports Hair Growth: A well-established option for early hair thinning, improving density and reducing shedding.
- Safe Around The Eyes: Suitable for the delicate under-eye area where many other treatments cannot be used.
- Combines Well: Frequently paired with microneedling or polynucleotides for enhanced results.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
- Consultation: Your concerns and medical history are reviewed to confirm PRP is appropriate, and your course is planned.
- Blood Draw & Preparation: A small sample is taken and spun down while the treatment area is cleansed and numbing cream is applied.
- Treatment: The plasma is injected into the area or worked into the skin with microneedling. The full appointment takes around forty-five to sixty minutes.
- Aftercare: Mild redness, swelling and occasional bruising settle within one to three days. Avoid make-up, exercise and alcohol for twenty-four hours.
A course of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is standard, with results building progressively as new collagen forms. Most clients then maintain their results with a single session every six to twelve months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP treatment painful?
The blood draw feels like a standard blood test. Numbing cream is applied before the treatment itself, so most clients find the injections or microneedling very manageable.
What is the downtime after treatment?
Expect mild redness and some swelling for one to three days, and occasionally small bruises at the injection points. Most clients return to normal activities the same day.
How many sessions will I need?
Three sessions four to six weeks apart is the usual starting course for both skin and scalp, followed by maintenance every six to twelve months.
When will I see results?
Skin often looks brighter within two weeks, with firmness and texture improving from six weeks onwards. For hair, reduced shedding usually comes first, with visible density changes from around three months.
Is PRP safe?
Yes. Because PRP is derived entirely from your own blood there is no risk of allergy or rejection. It is prepared in a sterile, single-use system and administered by trained clinicians.
Your Own Biology, Put To Work.
PRP harnesses the growth factors in your own blood to regenerate skin and support hair growth — a natural treatment with no synthetic ingredients.
