PRP facials explained: using your own growth factors
How a PRP facial works, who it suits and what recovery looks like.
Quick answer: A PRP facial uses platelet-rich plasma from a small sample of your blood, delivered back into the skin to stimulate collagen. Results build over 4 to 12 weeks, usually over a course of 3.
The process
We take a small blood sample, spin it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma, then deliver it into the skin with our Aquagold device.
Who it suits
Anyone wanting a natural approach to dull, tired skin, fine lines or texture.
Recovery
Redness for 24 to 48 hours is normal. Avoid make-up on the day.
Results
Skin looks fresher within a couple of weeks and continues improving as collagen builds.
Common questions
Is PRP safe?
Because it uses your own plasma, allergic reactions are very unlikely. A consultation confirms suitability.
