Face PRP is a regenerative medical treatment that uses a concentration of your own platelets to accelerate tissue repair and supercharge skin renewal. The process is simple, safe, and begins with a routine blood draw.
This small sample of your blood is then placed in a centrifuge, a specialized machine that spins at high speed to separate the blood components. This process isolates the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)—a golden-hued serum that is densely packed with powerful proteins called growth factors. This “liquid gold” is the key to the entire treatment.
Why Choose Face PRP Treatment
In a world of cosmetic fillers and temporary fixes, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a refreshingly different path to skin rejuvenation. It’s a choice for those who value not just looking younger, but achieving genuinely healthier, more resilient skin from within.
1. It is 100% Natural and Uniquely Yours
This is the most important reason. PRP uses a concentrate of powerful growth factors derived from your own blood. There are no synthetic chemicals, no animal-derived products, and no foreign substances. This completely eliminates the risk of allergic reactions or your body rejecting the treatment. It is the safest, most natural regenerative therapy available today.
2. It Heals and Regenerates, Not Just Fills or Freezes
Unlike treatments that simply mask the signs of ageing, PRP works on a cellular level to fundamentally repair and regenerate your skin tissue. It stimulates your own body to produce more collagen and elastin, thereby improving the actual health, thickness, and quality of your skin. You’re not just correcting a line on the surface; you’re rebuilding a stronger foundation underneath.
3. The Results are Completely Natural-Looking
A common fear with aesthetic treatments is looking “overdone” or unnatural. Because PRP stimulates your body’s own gradual healing process, the results are always subtle, beautiful, and completely natural. You won’t look like a different person—you’ll simply look like the best, most rested, and most radiant version of yourself.
4. A Versatile Solution for Difficult Concerns
PRP is a true multi-tasker. While it provides a fantastic all-over improvement in skin health and glow, it is also one of the most effective treatments for targeting specific, difficult-to-treat areas. This includes improving the appearance of dark circles by strengthening the thin under-eye skin and repairing the damaged texture of stubborn acne scars.
5. Long-Lasting and Sustainable Improvements
The new, healthy collagen that your body produces as a result of PRP therapy is yours to keep. The improvements in your skin’s health are therefore durable and long-lasting. While the natural ageing process will, of course, continue, the structural benefits of PRP provide a powerful, lasting foundation of rejuvenation that you can build upon.
Benefits of Face PRP Treatment
Restores a Healthy, Natural Glow
PRP revitalises your skin on a cellular level, boosting circulation and overall skin health. This results in a beautiful, healthy radiance that looks completely natural—because it is. It replaces a dull, tired complexion with a vibrant, "lit-from-within" glow that lasts.
Smooths Overall Skin Texture and Tone
The treatment stimulates new collagen and encourages cellular turnover, which works to smooth away rough patches, sun damage, and textural irregularities. The result is skin that feels noticeably softer and more supple, with a more even and balanced tone.
Naturally Softens Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The new, robust collagen matrix that your skin builds post-treatment provides better support and elasticity. This naturally plumps the skin from beneath, effectively softening the appearance of fine lines, crow’s feet, and other early signs of ageing without a “frozen” or unnatural look.
Reduces the Appearance of Acne Scars
The powerful growth factors in PRP are masters of tissue repair. When delivered into areas with atrophic acne scars, they signal the body to regenerate damaged tissue and stimulate new collagen to fill in the depressions, leading to a significantly smoother skin surface over time.
Brightens and Revitalises Under-Eye Circles
PRP is one of the most effective natural treatments for tackling dark under-eye circles. By helping to thicken and strengthen the delicate under-eye skin and improving micro-circulation, it can significantly reduce the dark, hollowed look that makes you appear tired.
The Ultimate in Safety and Natural Compatibility
Perhaps the greatest benefit is its safety. Since the treatment uses plasma derived from your own blood, there is virtually no risk of allergies, sensitivities, or rejection. It is the most natural and biocompatible skin rejuvenation treatment available, giving you peace of mind alongside beautiful results.

FAQ
Is it truly safe to use my own blood on my face?
Yes, it is one of the safest and most natural regenerative treatments available in dermatology today. Because the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is derived from your own blood (a process called “autologous” use), there is virtually no risk of allergic reactions, sensitivities, or your body rejecting it. The entire process, from the blood draw to the final application, is performed under strictly sterile, medical-grade conditions in our clinic.
Does the 'Vampire Facial' actually hurt?
Despite the scary-sounding nickname, the treatment is made very comfortable for our patients. We begin by applying a strong topical anaesthetic (numbing cream) to the face for 30-40 minutes. This ensures that while you may feel a mild vibrating or tingling sensation from the microneedling device used to apply the PRP, you will not experience significant pain.
What is the downtime after a Face PRP session?
The downtime is minimal. Immediately after the treatment, you can expect your skin to be red and feel sensitive and tight, similar to a mild sunburn. This redness typically subsides significantly within 24 hours, and most clients feel comfortable returning to work and their normal routine the very next day. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions, which include avoiding direct sun exposure and harsh skincare products for a few days.
How many PRP sessions will I need?
While a single session will impart a beautiful, healthy glow to your skin, PRP works best as a cumulative treatment for long-term regeneration. For optimal results in collagen building and to address specific concerns like acne scars or fine lines, we typically recommend a series of 3 to 4 sessions, with each session spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.
When will I see the results, and how long do they last?
You may notice an initial improvement in your skin’s glow and texture within a couple of weeks. However, the true regenerative results from new collagen production appear gradually and are most visible 2 to 3 months after your course of treatment is complete. Because you have built new, healthy tissue, these results are very long-lasting (often a year or more). We recommend a single maintenance session annually to sustain these benefits.
Should I get PRP instead of Botox or Fillers?
This is an excellent question, as they serve different purposes:
Botox & Fillers are for correction. They “fix” a specific problem—fillers add volume to a hollow area, and Botox stops a muscle from creating a wrinkle.
PRP is for regeneration. It improves the overall health, quality, thickness, and glow of your entire skin. It makes your skin healthier and act younger.
Our dermatologist will advise you on the best approach for your goals. They are not mutually exclusive and can sometimes be used in combination for a full face rejuvenation.
It's currently August. Is this a good time to start PRP treatments?
This is the perfect time to begin your PRP journey. A full course of 3-4 sessions takes a few months to complete. By starting your treatments now, your skin will be hitting its peak health and radiance just in time for the major festive and wedding season which runs from October through December. It is the ideal way to plan ahead for a truly natural and lasting glow.
