Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

What are PRP injections?

PRP, Platelet Rich Plasma, is a treatment derived from your own blood.

Your blood contains growth factors your body needs to grow, repair and regenerate cells. It’s an amazing resource that we tap into to tackle a range of conditions.

We extract those growth factors contained within blood plasma and concentrate it into a solution.

We inject that PRP solution into the affected area to help promote cell regeneration and repair.

PRP injections can help tackle the many causes of hair loss, hair thinning, stress-related hair loss, wrinkles, fine lines, scars including acne scars, stretch marks, dark circles under the eyes and many other conditions.

How do PRP injections work?

The principle behind PRP injections is very straightforward. We use what your body naturally uses to heal itself to tackle a range of common conditions.

When you arrive at your appointment, we make you comfortable in our discreet clinic.

We take a small amount of blood like a blood test. We pass that blood through a medical centrifuge to separate the blood plasma we want from everything else.

We add a perfectly safe medical anticoagulant to the plasma to help keep it liquid and add it to a special microneedler.

We then apply the PRP injection to the area you want to tackle. Finally, we shine a red LED light into the area to help promote healing and reduce any swelling.

Once done, you’re free to go about your day.

Types of PRP injection treatments available at Hair and Skin Science

There are a range of PRP injection treatments on offer at Hair and Skin Science clinics.

They include:

PRP hair loss treatments

PRP hair loss treatments are one of the most popular treatments because they are so effective. Few other treatments deliver the same tangible results with such a simple procedure.

PRP hair loss treatments use the potent PRP injection to target hair loss, thinning hair and other conditions.

We apply the PRP injection directly into the scalp to help encourage hair follicles to regrow new hair.

This can result in regrowth or thicker hair depending on the condition.

PRP skin treatments

PRP skin treatments are incredibly popular thanks to the range of conditions it can treat.

Everything from the signs of ageing, wrinkles, fine lines, scarring, hyperpigmentation to bags under the eyes and sagging skin can be effectively treated with PRP injections.

We use the same PRP solution as these other treatments and apply it directly to where it’s needed most.

The growth factors within the PRP solution can help encourage the growth of new skin cells as well as essential collagen and elastin.

All the ingredients needed for younger, healthier looking skin!

PRP facial treatment

PRP facial treatments are the same as skin treatments but targeting just the face. They can be used alongside any of these other treatments to combine their effect.

Our face forms a huge part of our identity so we always want to look our best. PRP injections can help with that.

The PRP solution is injected directly into the face to help tackle wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, bags under the eyes and other conditions.

The solution contains everything your skin needs to regenerate and grow new skin cells, elastin and collagen.
