Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves drawing a small amount of your own blood, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and injecting this concentrated plasma back into the skin. Platelets are rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and collagen production.
Because PRP uses your own biological material, the risk of allergic reaction is essentially zero. It is used across both aesthetics and regenerative medicine — including in orthopaedics, sports medicine, and wound healing — giving it a strong evidence base relative to many newer aesthetic treatments.

Results from PRP are more gradual than filler or toxin treatments. Patients seeking immediate visible changes may find PRP underwhelming — it works over weeks and months as new collagen forms. Combine with microneedling for significantly enhanced outcomes.
