A PRP treatment for your face always starts with a comprehensive analysis of your skin. Your plastic surgeon draws up a personalised treatment plan based on the analysis. The nurse then takes your blood, which is centrifuged to separate the plasma from the blood cells. This plasma is packed with growth factors that repair damaged tissue and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Your plastic surgeon then carefully injects the filtered plasma into your face or scalp. A numbing ointment and local anaesthetic ensure the treatment is virtually painless (like at the dentist). We often combine the PRP treatment with a Dermapen treatment. This is a microneedling technique that makes your skin absorb the plasma even better.
