PRP/PRF Therapy
Sample
Peripheral blood
PRP Platelet Rich Plasma, also known as a vampire facelift, uses a small sample of your own peripheral blood. At Aesthetic Nurse's Clinic Edinburgh, the sample is centrifuged to separate its components before platelet-rich plasma and fibrin are introduced using a mesotherapy technique. The treatment is intended to support visible improvements in skin quality and texture, with potential applications for mature skin, reduced elasticity, wrinkles, pigmentation, acne scars, stretch marks, broken capillaries, rosacea and alopecia. It is a personalised procedure, with suitability reviewed before treatment.
