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 delivered to the skin to support repair and rejuvenation. Because it is derived entirely from you it is well tolerated, and it can be used on the face, neck, décolleté or hands. The clinic uses Regeneris/PRP systems, the price includes topical numbing, and 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 delivered into the skin to improve tone, texture and firmness; QKA uses Regeneris and other PRP systems for the procedure. At the clinic the process — blood draw, preparation and treatment — takes around forty-five to sixty minutes, with EMLA or Anesderm numbing cream applied for comfort; the quoted price includes the anaesthetic. 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 four to six weeks apart is recommended, with maintenance once or twice a year. PRP can be focused on the face, neck, décolleté or the backs of the hands, and combines well with microneedling for a stronger effect. Using your own growth factors to support skin repair is associated with gradual improvements in skin quality. Suitability is assessed at consultation; PRP is not performed in pregnancy or in certain blood or clotting conditions.
