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 support skin repair and rejuvenation. Because it is derived entirely from you, it is well tolerated and a natural option for improving skin quality, including the delicate area under the eyes. The clinic uses a closed Arthrex preparation system, and a short course gives the most noticeable results.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a regenerative skin treatment that uses your own blood's components. A small sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, which carry growth factors associated with tissue repair and collagen production. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the skin, or applied alongside microneedling, to support tone, texture and firmness. At PROESTETICA the process — blood draw, preparation in a closed Arthrex system, 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 the skin 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, and can be combined with microneedling for a stronger effect. Suitability is assessed beforehand; it is not performed in pregnancy or in certain blood or clotting conditions.
