PRP – Platelet Rich Plasma therapy

Platelet rich plasma PRP has been used safely for many years for the treatment of various ailments, in particular, to stimulate the repair of tendons. In recent years it is being used to help skin to heal better – “rejuvenation”. This makes it a useful adjunct to other anti-aging therapies like microneedling (Dermaroller) and dermal fillers.
Several brands of this treatment process have become popular, more so with the recent endorsement by celebrities. These brand names are based upon the different techniques and “systems” that are used to extract the Platelet Rich Plasma.

What our patients say

T R, Hampshire, Platelet rich plasma vampire facial

I am 45 years old and was looking tired and after an in depth consultation with Dr Aarti N Denning I booked up PRP also known as the Dracula or Vampire Facial.
Although I am an extremely nervous patient I felt completely safe and at ease throughout the whole procedure due to Aarti explaining everything in a calming professional manner. The results are absolutely fantastic and so natural looking. I have received so many positive comments from friends and family about my fresh look.
The care, consideration and quality I received from Aarti was exceptional….thank you so much

What is PRP?

Platelet Rich Plasma is a concentrated extract of the platelets from your blood. Platelets contain “growth factors”: proteins which help with regeneration and tissue healing.

What happens during PRP treatment?

A sample of your blood (about the same amount as an average blood test) is taken. It is then placed in special tubes and centrifuged (spun at controlled high speeds). This separates it into its constituent parts – red blood cells, clear serum and platelets. The part which contains a high concentration of platelets, and thereby the growth factors they provide, is drawn into a syringe.
It can now be enhanced with hyaluronic acid (what dermal fillers are made of) and then injected into specific areas of your face.

Where can PRP treatment be used?

PRP can be used to treat
– under-eye skin, which gets crepey with fine wrinkles, can be challenging for other products like fillers. PRP is safe here.
– as a supplement treatment to improve results of other treatments, such as for wrinkles.
– works especially well for the upper and mid face, neck, upper chest.
