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 generally well tolerated and a natural option for improving skin quality. At Ars Estetica facial PRP uses the Regeneris system, and a short course is typically advised for the best results.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a regenerative skin treatment that uses 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 associated with tissue repair and collagen production. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the skin to support improvements in tone, texture and firmness. At Ars Estetica the process — blood draw, preparation and treatment — takes around forty-five to sixty minutes, with numbing cream applied for comfort, and the clinic uses the Regeneris preparation system. 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 sessions spaced a few weeks apart is generally recommended, with occasional maintenance afterwards. PRP is well suited to dull or tired skin and fine lines, and can be combined with other skin treatments. Suitability is assessed at consultation; it is not performed in pregnancy or in certain blood or clotting conditions.
