Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma uses a small sample of your own blood, spun to concentrate its platelets and growth factors, which is then injected to stimulate skin repair and rejuvenation. Because it is derived entirely from you, it is well tolerated and a natural option for improving skin quality. A short course gives the most noticeable results; pricing depends on the area treated.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a regenerative skin treatment that harnesses your own blood's healing components. A small sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors that signal tissue repair and collagen production. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the skin to rejuvenate tone, texture and firmness. At EsteticaMed the treatment is carried out by a physician, and because the material is entirely your own there is no risk of reaction to a foreign substance, which makes PRP a popular choice for patients who prefer a natural approach. The process — blood draw, preparation and treatment — takes around forty-five to sixty minutes, with numbing cream applied for comfort. Expect mild redness or small bruises for a day or two. Results build gradually as collagen remodels over several weeks, so a course of sessions spaced a few weeks apart usually gives the best outcome, with maintenance once or twice a year afterwards. PRP is well suited to dull or tired skin and fine lines, and the price range reflects the area treated and how many tubes of plasma are prepared. Suitability is assessed beforehand; it is not performed in pregnancy or in certain blood or clotting conditions, which the doctor will review at consultation.
