PRP has in recent years been popularised in the media as the “vampire” or “vampiric” facelift, having been performed on various well-
Platelets are cells in our blood which secrete natural substances (e.g. growth factors) that promote repair, regeneration and renewal of cells in the body. Their most well-
PRP therapy aims to capture the potential of this natural regeneration process, by delivering the body’s own platelets in a measured, specific way to different areas of the skin that require healing or renewal. The principle is simply to accelerate the body’s very own healing process, via the body’s own platelet-
Why have PRP therapy?
PRP therapy has been shown to benefit the skin in many ways, for both ageing skin and young skin, and damaged and undamaged skin alike:
• It targets signs of ageing – including fine lines, wrinkles, and thin skin.
• It enhances the appearance of skin, improving tone and elasticity of skin and the tissues beneath it, by the regeneration of new collagen, giving the skin a ‘lifted’ appearance.

The PRP can be injected in tiny superficial quantities all over the facial skin, to benefit overall appearance, or it can be injected more specifically in areas of concern. Such areas are most commonly: the areas under the eyes (where the skin is thin and prone to wrinkles, and where dark circles may form), or other areas where fine lines and skin texture are an issue (e.g. nose-
Using the latest Regen Lab technology it is also possible to combine PRP with conventional dermal filler using specialised patented tubes that contain hyaluronic acid, again within a closed air-
The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, requiring only a local anaesthetic cream applied to the face before the procedure.
After the treatment there may be mild swelling, bruising, and redness in the injected areas, but these effects are quite mild and usually settle down within 24-
The vast majority can continue with their normal schedules immediately after treatment.
How safe & effective is PRP therapy?

Fundamentally, this treatment uses the body’s own cells to deliver a natural process of rejuvenation and repair to the skin. As such the procedure has the benefit of being at the forefront of current science and technological advances, but carrying minimal risk of complications to the patient.
There is robust scientific evidence that supports the regenerative potential of PRP and platelet-
