Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

What is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment harnessing the natural growth factors found within your own blood. PRP works by isolating platelets, powerful cells responsible for healing and regeneration, which release numerous growth factors that stimulate collagen production and enhance skin repair.

This treatment naturally rejuvenates and revitalizes your skin by increasing hydration, improving skin elasticity, and refining overall texture and tone, resulting in a healthier and more youthful complexion.

How It Works

Step 1 – Blood Collection

A small blood sample (11ml or 22ml) is drawn from your arm and spun in a centrifuge for approximately 10 minutes.

Step 2 – Plasma Separation

After centrifugation, Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP) is extracted based on the desired concentration level.

Step 3 – PRP Application

The platelet-rich plasma is collected and precisely applied to the targeted areas, stimulating rejuvenation and renewal in the skin.
