PRP Injection for Acne Scars
PRP for acne scars uses a similar process to the PRP facial, or vampire facial. It uses the healing power of your own blood to deliver everything your skin needs to heal.
The treatment is thought to be very effective at treating acne scars, wrinkles and fine lines, sagging skin, discoloured skin and hyperpigmentation. It’s an exceptionally popular treatment!
Part of that popularity is how accessible it is. PRP for acne scars uses no surgery, no medication, is completely non-invasive and requires no recovery.
Appointments last around 45 minutes and you can be up, about and going about your day immediately afterwards!
How does PRP for Acne Scars Work?
PRP injections for acne scars uses a tried and tested procedure that utilises the healing power of your own blood to deliver growth factors directly to affected areas of the skin.
It works a little something like this:
We draw a small amount of blood, like a blood test. We process the blood to concentrate the parts we want, the blood plasma.
Blood plasma contains lots of healing potential and is the part of the blood your body uses for healing and regeneration.
Those growth factors are believed to help promote collagen and elastin growth, which both help the skin.
We concentrate that healing potential into a special solution and inject it into the affected area using a special microneedler.
Once complete, we can apply a red LED light into the skin to help promote healing, to help minimise the redness and inflammation.
After the red LED, there should be minor signs you had a treatment done and that’s usually slight redness.
This is great news, as you could have a PRP injection for acne scars in your lunch hour, before or after work and go about your day.
Before and after your PRP Treatment for Acne Scars
PRP injection for acne scars is a very minimal and non-invasive treatment. It requires no surgery, no medication, no chemicals and uses nothing except your own blood plasma.
If you are currently on any type of medication that affects the blood, let us know when booking your appointment so we can check everything is safe.
As a precaution we do not recommend PRP if you’re pregnant.
After your PRP injection for acne scars, you may feel a tingling sensation or the area may be sensitive. This is rare and passes quickly.
We recommend minimising exposure to sunlight and the use the products Hair and Skin Science provide to help recover your skin and begin the regeneration process.
We will provide full aftercare guidance at your appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vampire facial?
That blood is rich in platelets that contain huge healing potential thanks to growth factors within them. It is this that’s the backbone of the PRP treatment and its success.
Does PRP for acne scars work?
Like most things in medicine, there are no guarantees. Everyone is different and your overall health and genetics have a huge influence over how successful a treatment is.
Is PRP eye rejuvenation painful?
Our registered nurses will do everything they can to make the procedure quick and painless.
How long does it take for PRP for acne scars to work?
Much will depend on your age, health, nutrition and how extensive the acne scarring is. Previous patients experienced results within 4-6 weeks of their first treatment, but everyone is different.
How long do the effects of PRP injections for acne scars last?
We tailor every PRP treatment to the individual and will work with you to come up with a manageable program that delivers the results you want.
How long does it take to recover from PRP treatments?
PRP for acne scars uses a microneedler designed for the skin. Our trained registered nurses will also provide the option of using the red LED to help accelerate healing and recovery before you leave.
Who can perform my PRP treatment?
We also recommend patients confirm if an Australian medical doctor has contributed to the treatment protocols.
