Platelet Rich Plasma
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is also known as the Vampire Facelift or Dracula treatment. It is a natural treatment that involves your own blood plasma, which is rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. It is an effective anti-ageing treatment, as it stimulates DNA repair, heals scars and improves skin texture, and it can also help with thinning hair by stimulating hair follicles to re-grow new hair.
Dr Olivia will collect a small amount of blood which is spun to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. The nourishing plasma will be carefully injected back into the skin to gently restore volume, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve the skin tone and luminosity. PRP can also be or combined with treatments like microneeedling or mesotherapy.
