A skin rejuvenation treatment using components derived from your own blood to support texture and tone.
Platelet-Rich Plasma is a cosmetic skin treatment that uses components derived from your own blood and may support improvements in skin texture and tone.
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm and processed to separate the plasma, which is applied to the face by microneedling or injection.
Natural rejuvenation: it may support skin texture and the appearance of fine lines, depending on suitability and response.
Blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, rich in growth factors and proteins. It is then injected or microneedled into targeted areas of the face.
Platelets may support collagen production and skin repair. A course of treatments may be discussed, depending on your skin and response.
It may then be applied to the face through microneedling or injection, depending on clinical suitability.
It involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells.
During the procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm using a specialised blood collection system.
These may include using gentle skincare products, avoiding sun exposure and following your practitioner’s advice about skincare and hydration.
Results vary between individuals, and a course of sessions may be discussed where clinically appropriate.

Platelet-Rich Plasma has potential risks and side effects, including bruising, swelling, tenderness and, rarely, infection. As the treatment uses components derived from your own blood, allergic reactions may be less likely, but suitability and individual risks should be discussed with your practitioner before treatment.
When performed by an appropriately trained professional, serious complications are uncommon. Because Platelet-Rich Plasma is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is low, though as with any injectable treatment there are risks, including bruising, swelling, tenderness and, rarely, infection. Your practitioner will discuss these with you at consultation.
The effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment vary between individuals. Any changes in skin texture, tone and overall appearance may develop gradually over the weeks or months following treatment.
In general, many patients experience noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance for several months after the procedure. However, to maintain optimal results, follow-up sessions may be recommended every 6 to 12 months.
Platelet-Rich Plasma and anti-wrinkle fillers are different treatments used for different concerns. Your practitioner can discuss whether either treatment, or another option, may be suitable for you.
Generally, patients experience some minor discomfort or a sensation of pressure during the procedure, particularly during the blood draw and micro-needling steps. However, many find the discomfort to be tolerable and temporary. We may apply topical numbing cream or local anaesthesia before the procedure to minimise any potential discomfort.
The facial procedure and anti-wrinkle fillers serve different purposes and target different concerns, so they are not direct substitutes for each other. While both treatments can contribute to a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance, they are often used in combination or tailored to address specific concerns. Talk to your practitioner about your options.
If you do not continue with further sessions, any treatment effects may gradually become less noticeable over time. Your practitioner can advise whether follow-up treatment is appropriate.
Platelet-Rich Plasma may be considered for some people with acne-related scarring, but suitability depends on the individual and the condition of the skin at the time of treatment. Your practitioner should assess active acne and discuss appropriate treatment options.
At consultation we assess your skin and goals, and explain options, limitations and risks before any treatment.
