Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy 

This is a revolutionary treatment which harvests your own blood platelets to combat the signs of ageing. Platelets contain a high content of “growth factors” – proteins that help to heal injured tissue or damaged skin.  Studies have shown this technique to be highly effective in the treatment of skin wounds, particularly burns but it can also tackle skin problems such as acne scarring and stretch marks.

​

Upon injection into the skin, platelets release their growth factors which trigger surrounding cells to proliferate, in turn stimulating repair, increasing volume and rejuvenating the skin. In the case of injured skin, this action stimulates wound healing and thus enables the skin to regenerate itself.  Most importantly, the growth factors contained in the plasma boost collagen production – the stimulation of collagen production results in new skin cells being formed and therefore an improvement in skin elasticity.  Ultimately this creates a tightening effect on the treated area and enables patients to achieve a more beautiful, youthful skin.
