PRP Facial Rejuvenation

What is PRP Facial Rejuvenation?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) facial rejuvenation — the "vampire facial", as it is popularly known — is a non-surgical treatment that uses components of your own blood to encourage cellular renewal and collagen production. We isolate plasma dense with platelets and growth factors, then use it to refresh skin texture, tone, and laxity.

How the Procedure Works

Blood Collection

We take a small amount of blood from your arm, much like a routine blood test.

Centrifugation

That sample goes into a centrifuge, which spins at high speed to separate the liquid plasma and dense platelets from the red and white blood cells.

Application

The isolated PRP — "liquid gold" — then goes back into your facial skin, either injected into specific areas with a fine needle or applied over micro-injuries created by a microneedling device.

Core Benefits

Collagen Production

Those growth factors prompt fibroblasts to lay down new collagen and elastin, which can restore firmness and elasticity.

Texture and Tone

It smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and can improve rough texture, enlarged pores, and acne or surgical scarring.

High Biocompatibility

Since the solution comes entirely from your own body, the risk of allergic reaction or sensitivity is effectively nil.

If you are weighing this up, tell us — we can compare it with dermal fillers, or take you through the aftercare that gets the best out of it.

Timeline, Costs, and Limitations

Knowing the full arc, from first results through to maintenance and possible risks, makes it easier to hold realistic expectations.

Results & Longevity

Results Timeline

A subtle brightness may show within days, but the real collagen restructuring builds over 3 to 4 weeks and tends to peak around 1 to 2 months.

Longevity

The rejuvenating effect usually holds for 6 to 12 months.

Treatment Protocol

Most providers suggest starting with 1 to 3 sessions, 4 to 6 weeks apart, then annual maintenance.

Cost & Risk Considerations

Average Cost

Prices generally sit between $500 and $1,500 a session, depending on location and whether it is combined with something else such as microneedling or dermal fillers.

Downtime and Risks

Expect mild redness, swelling, or slight bruising for 24 to 48 hours. Serious problems are rare, and generally trace back to non-sterile handling of the blood sample.

Scientific Consensus

Patient satisfaction runs high and clinical trials show clear histological improvement in the skin. That said, the literature is clear that larger, more standardised trials are still under way before its baseline efficacy can be considered settled across the board.
