PRP/PRF
Experience Expert-Led Aesthetics Treatments
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are natural skin rejuvenation treatments derived from your own blood, rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen and healing. PRP is processed quickly and offers immediate revitalisation, making it ideal for overall skin glow and texture. PRF, on the other hand, is considered a more advanced version of PRP, containing a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin. This results in a slower, more sustained release of growth factors compared to PRP, leading to potentially longer-lasting and more profound tissue regeneration.Both treatments are perfect for improving fine lines, dull skin, and boosting overall skin health with minimal downtime.
How It Works?
Both PRP and PRF treatments begin with a simple blood draw. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich portion, which contains powerful growth factors that aid in healing and regeneration. In PRP, this process is quicker and includes anticoagulants, resulting in a thinner solution ideal for overall skin rejuvenation. PRF is spun more slowly without additives, creating a thicker, more fibrin-rich concentrate that releases growth factors gradually over time. Once prepared, the solution is either injected into specific areas or applied during microneedling to stimulate collagen, improve skin quality, and accelerate tissue repair.

Aftercare Advice
PRP/PRF Aftercare Advice:
Avoid touching, applying makeup, or washing the treated area for at least 4–6 hours.
Refrain from intense exercise, saunas, or hot showers for 24 hours.
Avoid alcohol, anti-inflammatory medications (like ibuprofen), and blood-thinning supplements for at least 24 hours, unless advised otherwise.
Sleep on your back with your head elevated the first night to reduce swelling.
Use gentle skincare—avoid active ingredients like retinol, acids, or vitamin C for 3–5 days.
Expect mild redness, swelling, or bruising for a few days—this is normal.
Stay well-hydrated and apply SPF daily to protect your results.
For best outcomes, follow the recommended treatment plan and attend follow-up appointments.
Who Should Avoid PRP/PRF
Who Should Avoid PRP & PRF Treatments:
Individuals with blood disorders or clotting issues (e.g. low platelet count, haemophilia)
Those taking anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medication
Patients with active skin infections, rashes, or open wounds in the treatment area
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
People with autoimmune diseases affecting healing
Those undergoing chemotherapy or with a history of certain cancers
Anyone with uncontrolled chronic illnesses (e.g. diabetes, thyroid disorders) without medical clearance
Always consult with your practitioner to ensure treatment is safe and suitable for you.
Treatment Duration and Follow-Up
Treatment Duration & Follow-Up:
Each PRP or PRF session typically takes 45–60 minutes, including consultation, blood draw, and treatment. For optimal results, we usually recommend a course of 3-6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4–6 months, depending on your skin goals and area treated. Results are gradual and improve over time as collagen production increases.
