PRP Facial (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

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 autologous — derived entirely from you — it is well tolerated and a natural option for improving skin quality, including the delicate area under the eyes. A short course gives the most noticeable results.

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, and is sometimes combined with other skin-quality treatments for a stronger effect. At HappyDERM the process — blood draw, preparation and treatment — takes around forty-five to sixty minutes, with numbing cream applied for comfort. Because the material is entirely your own, there is no risk of allergy to a foreign substance, which makes PRP a popular choice for patients who prefer a natural approach. Expect mild redness or small bruises for a day or two. Results build gradually as collagen remodels over several weeks, so a course of around three sessions spaced a few weeks apart is recommended, with maintenance once or twice a year. PRP is well suited to dull or tired skin, fine lines and the thin, crêpey skin under the eyes. Suitability is assessed at consultation; it is not performed in pregnancy or in certain blood or clotting conditions.
