PRP Facial Skin Rejuvenation

The PRP Facial is a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the collagen-boosting benefits of microneedling with the potent growth factors found in your own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). At PRP London Clinic, Dr. Hans utilizes this combination therapy to effectively target fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, acne scars, and dullness, revealing smoother, firmer, more luminous skin.

Discover how this natural, autologous treatment works synergistically to enhance your skin's health and appearance.

The PRP Facial works through a two-pronged approach:

1. Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy): A specialized device creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body's natural wound healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin – the essential building blocks for firm, youthful skin.
2. PRP Application: Immediately following microneedling, your own concentrated PRP (prepared from a blood sample) is applied topically to the treated skin. The micro-channels created by microneedling allow the potent growth factors within the PRP to penetrate deep into the dermis.

This combination results in enhanced collagen stimulation, accelerated healing, and delivery of powerful regenerative signals directly where they are needed most, leading to superior rejuvenation results compared to microneedling or topical PRP alone.

A PRP Facial treatment session with Dr. Hans involves several steps:

1. Consultation: Assessment of your skin concerns, goals, and suitability for the treatment.
2. Blood Draw & PRP Preparation: A small blood sample is taken and processed via centrifuge to concentrate your platelets.
3. Skin Cleansing & Numbing: Your face (or other treatment area) is cleansed thoroughly. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied for about 20-30 minutes to ensure comfort during microneedling.
4. Microneedling: Dr. Hans uses a professional microneedling device (like SkinPen®) across the treatment area, creating controlled micro-channels.
5. PRP Application: The prepared PRP is applied directly onto the micro-needled skin, allowing it to be absorbed deeply.
6. Post-Treatment: Your skin will likely appear red, similar to a moderate sunburn, for 1-3 days. Specific aftercare instructions, including recommended skincare products and sun protection, will be provided.

The entire appointment typically takes around 60 minutes.

Following a PRP Facial, results emerge as your skin heals and regenerates:

• Initial Glow (Days 1-7): After initial redness subsides, skin often appears brighter and more hydrated.
• Texture & Tone Improvement (Weeks 2-4): You may notice improvements in skin texture and overall tone.
• Collagen Building (Months 1-3): Significant collagen stimulation occurs during this period, leading to firmer skin, reduced fine lines, and softening of scars.
• Optimal Results (3+ Months): Continued improvements in skin quality, firmness, and radiance.

For best results, Dr. Hans typically recommends a series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments can help sustain the benefits over the long term.

The PRP Facial is suitable for most skin types and addresses a range of concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin texture and tone
• Acne scarring and other mild scars
• Enlarged pores
• Sun damage
• Dull or lacklustre complexion
• Loss of skin firmness

It's an excellent choice for those seeking natural skin rejuvenation using their body's own resources. A consultation with Dr. Hans is needed to confirm suitability, especially if you have certain skin conditions or medical history.

The PRP Facial is a safe procedure when performed by a trained medical professional like Dr. Hans. Using your own PRP eliminates the risk of allergic reactions. Microneedling is also very safe with sterile, single-use needle cartridges. Expected side effects include temporary redness, mild swelling, and slight sensitivity, which resolve within a few days. Strict hygiene protocols are followed throughout the treatment.
