PRP Therapy

PRP therapy is a powerful treatment to rejuvenate the skin. PRP therapy uses your body’s resources to improve the tone and texture of your skin but can also used to promote hair growth on the scalp (learn more about PRP for hair growth)

PRP involves using your blood, separating your cells and plasma and injecting this plasma back in. PRP is hailed as one of the most advanced anti-ageing treatments and is hailed as a celebrity secret for youthful looking skin.

What is PRP?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is obtained from your blood. This clear plasma is rich in growth factors and natural proteins which are key to healing, reversing cell damage, repair cell’s DNA and stimulate new collagen production. This plasma is injected into the treatment area giving you refreshed and rejuvenated skin.

PRP is particularly effective around the eyes and in areas that are harder to treat with fillers such as the décolletage and neck. It can also be used on the face, hands and scalp (to treat hair loss).

PRP can also now be made into a ‘natural filler’ – again created with PRP and is a completely natural product. As it is a thicker injectable, it stays in the treatment area and therefore the growth factors are present in the injected area for longer. This is a fantastic option for those looking to treat the tear troughs and dark circles as well as lines and wrinkles and even acne scarring.

“State of the art”, Rebecca (40)

“The clinic is state of the art with all the treatments and products I need to keep ageing at bay, make myself feel and look as good as possible. 5 stars from me!”

“Have already recommended to others!” Female Patient (55)

“I found my experience very reassuring. Dr Tailor was excellent in explaining clinical and aesthetic effects of treatment. I felt she was interested in advising me for my benefit and did not use a hard sell technique I left feeling confident and able to make an informed choice on treatments. Have already recommended to others!”

“Going the extra mile”, Female patient (61)

Dr Tailor’s working ethic is spot on. Offering good helpful knowledge and advice that is ‘Tailor made’ (scuse the pun) for you. Showing a picture of how your skin could look after a treatment manages your expectations and helps you understand better, plus offering heat treatment upfront to aid faster healing of bruising if necessary, is going the extra mile. I also thought a handout sheet detailing after care was so valuable which is an important part of getting the best out of your treatment and the first time I have been offered this.”

“Extremely professional”, Marian (66)

“Everyone is extremely professional, helpful and welcoming. My treatments have been a great experience.”

PRP therapy is recommended as a course of 3-5 treatments at a spacing of 4-6 weeks apart. Once this is completed, we recommend maintaining your results every 6 months.

After PRP you may experience some swelling which can last from 12-24 hours which can be helped with a cold compress if needed. Some patients may notice a tingling sensation while the cells are being activated but this should not affect daily life. You may have small needle marks immediately after the treatment, but these can be covered with a Medicated Mineral Product such as ColorScience and are quick to heal.

We can combine PRP Therapy with fractional laser treatments and SkinPen™ treatments, also. We can achieve enhanced tissue healing and quicker recovery time, when we combine them.

Clearlift is a laser treatment which is excellent at targeting fine lines and wrinkles. A

Mesotherapy is another injectable treatment which targets the skin’s quality by injecting a unique blend of Hyaluronic Acid and other ingredients to rejuvenate the skin. There is a product we offer that specifically targets skin laxity and this would combine well with PRP therapy.

Viscoderm Hydrobooster is a skin booster which is injected into the skin to improve hydration and health of the skin. This would be an excellent addition for those looking to target fine lines and wrinkles.

Profhilo is another option for those looking to improve their texture and ageing of the skin. It is unique in that it helps to bio-remodel the tissue of the skin creating a lift and improve collagen production.
