The following FAQs provide important information about treatment, risks, and aftercare.

Please read carefully before booking.

How does it work?

A small amount of blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from other components. The platelet-rich plasma is then re-injected into the skin. Platelets contain growth factors that can support tissue repair and regeneration. In some cases, PRP may also be combined with skin needling to enhance absorption.

What results should I expect?

Improvements develop gradually, as PRP supports natural processes in the skin. Some people may notice changes over weeks to months, but the timing and degree of improvement vary. The effects may continue to develop over time, and multiple treatments may be recommended depending on individual needs.

How do I prepare before treatment?

You may be advised to:

Stay well-hydrated in the 48 hours before treatment
Reduce fat, alcohol, and caffeine intake in the week leading up to the procedure
Avoid supplements that increase bruising (fish oils, garlic, ginseng, omegas, green tea) for 2–3 weeks
Avoid facial treatments that may sensitise the skin in the week before treatment

Will it hurt?

A topical anaesthetic is usually applied before treatment to reduce discomfort.

Some people may still feel mild stinging or pressure during injections.

Who is suitable for treatment?

PRP may not be suitable for everyone.

It may not be recommended if you are:

Taking blood-thinning medications
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy
Living with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or HIV

Your suitability will be determined at consultation.

Lifestyle factors such as smoking, poor diet, or alcohol use may reduce the effectiveness of treatment.

What are the side effects and risks?

Expected side effects include:

Temporary redness
Mild bruising
Swelling or tenderness

Less common risks may include:

Infection at the injection site
Prolonged swelling or irritation
Activation of cold sores in those with a history of herpes simplex

What aftercare is recommended?

Avoid touching your face for at least 4 hours
Wash hands before touching treated areas
Do not apply makeup for 24 hours
Avoid ice packs or hot showers (extreme temperature changes)
Sleep with your head slightly elevated for comfort
Use SPF 30+ sunscreen daily for at least 1 month
Avoid heavy cosmetics, oil-based products, or thick moisturisers for 2 days
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot baths, and alcohol for several days
Use gentle, pH-neutral skincare for 48–72 hours
