PRP & Fibrin Facial (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Platelet-rich plasma and fibrin treatments use a small sample of your own blood, spun to concentrate its platelets and growth factors, then applied to stimulate skin repair and rejuvenation. Because the material is autologous — derived entirely from you — it is well tolerated and a natural option for improving skin quality, including the delicate under-eye area. A short course gives the most noticeable results.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and fibrin treatments at Vital Skin Clinic harness your own blood's healing components for skin rejuvenation. 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 concentrate — as liquid plasma or as a denser fibrin preparation — is then injected into the skin or applied alongside microneedling to improve tone, texture and firmness. The process of 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 these treatments are generally associated with better outcomes when given as a course of about three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with maintenance once or twice a year. PRP and fibrin suit dull or tired skin, fine lines and the thin, crêpey skin under the eyes and on the hands, and the clinic offers denser structural-fibrin formulations for a stronger effect. Suitability is assessed at consultation; the treatment is not performed in pregnancy or in certain blood or clotting conditions.
