What is PRP Treatment?

Platelet Rich Plasma, known as PRP, uses your own blood to create an advanced treatment that heals and repairs your skin. PRP treatment contains growth factors and, of course, platelets to rejuvenate the skin using the most natural source you can find: your own body.

It is a cutting edge therapy utilising a form of regenerative medicine that amplifies your own internal system Your blood is mostly a liquid called plasma and has its red colour due to the red blood cells that carry oxygen around our body. Blood also contains white blood cells that fight infection and platelets, which help repair damaged blood vessels. These platelets are cells smaller than even red blood cells, and their surface is covered in special proteins called growth factors.

These growth factors are the secret to the success of PRP. As well as repairing tissue they also stimulate the production of collagen, another protein central to the growth and strength of your skin, nails, and hair. As we all know, collagen weakens and lessens with age, so PRP is the perfect treatment to combat signs of aging.
