28 Jun PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Skin Treatment
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is prepared from your own blood and contains a higher concentration of platelets than what is normally found in circulating blood. Platelets naturally contain growth factors and proteins that are involved in healing and tissue repair. In cosmetic practice, PRP is used as an injectable treatment, where the concentrated plasma is introduced into targeted areas of the skin. The aim is to support the skin’s natural repair processes, which may help with overall skin quality.
How PRP May Work in Skin Rejuvenation
Platelets play a role in tissue healing. When PRP is placed into the skin, it may encourage processes that support collagen production and renewal. For some people, this may contribute to improvements in skin smoothness, texture, and firmness over time.
PRP and Other Options
PRP is different from other cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers.
Dermal fillers are used to restore volume in specific areas of the face.
PRP does not add volume but may help stimulate the skin’s own regenerative processes.
In some cases, PRP may be used alongside other treatments, depending on individual needs and practitioner advice.
What to Expect After a PRP Session
Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site is possible.
Most people can return to normal activities shortly after treatment, although avoiding strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours is often recommended.
Aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner should be followed closely.
Treatment Course and Results
A series of treatments, spaced several weeks apart, may be suggested for optimal outcomes. Changes in skin texture may occur gradually, and results can vary from person to person. Some people may notice subtle improvements within weeks, while for others changes may take longer.
It is important to understand that no specific results can be guaranteed, and ongoing maintenance sessions may be recommended by your practitioner.
Important Considerations
PRP is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not a treatment for medical conditions or diseases.
Individual responses vary, and outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty.
A consultation with a Dr Ros or one of our qualified practitioners is essential to assess whether PRP is appropriate for you.
