Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Face

Rejuvenate your skin with PRP

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative skin treatment that uses components from your own blood to support the skin’s natural repair and rejuvenation processes.

During treatment, a small amount of blood is collected and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This is then reintroduced into targeted areas of the skin.

Platelets contain growth factors and proteins involved in tissue repair and regeneration. PRP treatment uses these naturally occurring components to support collagen production and gradually improve the overall quality and appearance of the skin.

Who Is PRP Treatment Suitable For?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment may be suitable for people wanting to improve:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin texture and overall skin quality
  • The appearance of enlarged pores
  • The appearance of certain scars
  • Skin firmness and elasticity
  • Dull or tired looking skin

Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage and backs of the hands. 

A consultation with our experienced cosmetic doctor or nurse is required to determine whether PRP is appropriate for your skin and concerns.

What Happens During a PRP Treatment?

PRP treatment begins by taking a small amount of blood, similar to having a standard blood test.

The blood is then processed to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma.

A topical anaesthetic is applied to improve comfort before the PRP is delivered into the targeted areas of the skin.

At The Lime Tree Clinic, our V2 delivery system may also be used with PRP to distribute treatment across the skin while improving comfort during the procedure.

Why are Platelets Used for Skin Rejuvenation?

Platelets do much more than help your blood clot, they also play an important role in tissue repair.

They contain growth factors and proteins that help communicate with cells involved in the body’s natural repair and regeneration processes.

By concentrating these platelets and introducing them into targeted areas of the skin, PRP treatment aims to support natural tissue regeneration and collagen production.

This is why results take time to develop rather than creating an immediate cosmetic change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our blood consists mainly of the following components: white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets and plasma. Platelets are a collection of cells found in the blood that are essential to the body’s healing process. They control bleeding and have growth factors and proteins that encourage repair, regeneration and healing in our bodies.

We use the natural healing ability of the platelets to bring a youthful and glowing look to your face.

As with any cosmetic procedure, PRP facial treatments carry potential side effects and risks.

Common side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness and discomfort at the treatment site. Mild pinpoint bleeding or temporary redness may also occur following treatment. Less common risks can include infection or not achieving the desired aesthetic outcome. Your cosmetic doctor or nurse will discuss the potential benefits, risks and suitability of treatment during your consultation before proceeding.

Your platelets are blood cells that play an essential role in tissue repair. They do this by releasing growth factors that activate stem cells in the skin to form new tissue and restore the skin’s structure.

You can notice results from your PRP injections approximately 8 to 12 weeks after treatment, with final results being noticeable after six months. Results are slow and gradual as your body needs the time to create new collagen, elastin and connective tissue.

For optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended. The effects of your PRP treatment can last from 12 months to 2 years. We recommend having a booster treatment every 12 to 18 months to maintain and improve results
