PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses a concentrated portion of your own blood—rich in platelets and growth factors—to encourage healing and tissue regeneration. By boosting collagen production, PRP improves skin texture, firmness and overall appearance. It’s commonly used for skin rejuvenation, hair growth support, and to aid recovery after procedures or injuries. Because it’s autologous (from your own blood), it’s a natural and minimally invasive option.

Benefits

• Stimulates natural collagen production for firmer, smoother skin
• Improves skin texture and tone
• Speeds up healing and tissue regeneration
• Enhances hair growth and scalp health
• Minimally invasive with low risk of allergic reactions

The Process

Step 1: Initial consult

On arrival at our Southbank clinic, you’ll complete a short medical form so we can ensure treatment is safe and appropriate. We’ll discuss your concerns and goals, review risks and expected outcomes, and create a personalised plan. If you choose to proceed, PRP can often be performed at the same visit, or you can rebook.

Step 2: Treatment

The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the areas treated and technique used. A small blood sample is taken, spun to concentrate platelets, and the PRP is then applied or injected to the target area.

Common side effects include:

• Bruising
• Redness
• Tenderness

Step 3: Aftercare

Immediately after treatment:

• Avoid lying down for at least 4 hours
• Do not rub or massage the treated area unless instructed

For the next 48 hours:

• Refrain from strenuous exercise (walking is fine)
• Avoid excessive heat and sun exposure

For 1 week:

• Apply SPF 30+ daily
• Avoid facial massages

For 2 weeks:

• Avoid laser treatments
• Refrain from dental procedures if the lower face was treated
• Do not get tattoos
