Used in both medical and aesthetic treatments, PRP, professionally known as Platelet Rich Plasma therapy, or in recent times sometimes called, the Vampire Facial, involves injecting plasma, first extracted from your own blood, into the treatment area to promote and accelerate regeneration. As the platelets are taken from the patient’s own blood, there is NO chance of having any allergic reactions.

The process begins with a small amount of blood being taken from your arm into a vial carrying around 15mls or less. This is then placed in a centrifuge and spun for five minutes until the red blood cells in the blood separate from the clear plasma. Packed with platelets, able to generate growth factors and containing various naturally formed proteins, the extracted plasma is injected and/or micro-needled quickly into the treatment area to set about repairing any signs of damage, as they would inside the body naturally.

Treatment areas include the face, under eyes, scalp or around the hairline, hands, neck, body areas and specifically into any scarring or scarred tissue. PRP is typically used to treat the following:

Improve skin texture
Acne, Trauma or Surgical scarring
Hair thinning, promoting hair restoration
Injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints
Soften the appearance of dark circles under the eyes

A CULTSKIN® Doctor or Skin Specialist will medically assess the area of concern in your consultation and suggest the amount of treatments required to achieve your desired result.

Here at CULTSKIN® we also tend to micro-needle the healthy plasma into the area too, maximising benefits into both the internal and external layers of the skin.

Harnessing the power of your body’s own natural resources, we also have a slight upgraded alternative available, that we call Regen MD, using Cellenis® PRP dermafiller to deliver remarkable, natural-looking results, enhance volume and skin quality in the area, appearing fuller, but not over-filled – without the usual drawbacks of synthetic or Hyaluronic-Acid based, traditional filler. Derived from your own plasma cells the innovative natural filler not only adds natural instant volume, it also stimulates collagen production in the area, as it breaks down over time.

As well as all the traditional benefits of PRP, additional benefits from the Regen MD treatment include:

Virtually no downtime or side effects
Safe, effective, versatile, non-allergenic
Advanced Technology, minimises red blood cells
Exceptional performance compared to traditional PRP methods
Up to 3-8 times the concentration vs platelets in whole blood
Trusted results, backed by 6 published clinical studies
Over 1 million cases performed
Incredibly high patient satisfaction

We’re also offering targeted areas to now be treated, instead of a full face, however, more often than not, optimised results would be found with the RegenMD Facelift approach. Speaking to your CULTSKIN® Doctor in depth, if unsure on which targeted areas, amounts and treatment would achieve the best possible result for you!

PRP FAQs

HOW DO I BEST PREPARE FOR MY PRP TREATMENT?

Since the plasma quality is reliant upon the patient’s own blood, which is taken at the very beginning of the treatment, maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle is essential, especially within the lead up to your appointment. From at least a week prior, we would advise the following:

Consuming foods rich in Iron & Vitamin B i.e. dark, leafy, green vegetables
Refrain from smoking, drinking alcohol, ibuprofen, aspirin, or anything associated with blood thinning, if medical advice allows.
Ensure you’re water intake is 2L or more daily, especially on the day of treatment

HOW LONG WILL THE TREATMENT TAKE?

PRP typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending upon the size of the treatment areas and the attendance of micro-needling to the superficial layers of the skin. As with most treatments, results are optimised the more sessions had, so a treatment plan will be advised upon consultation, to be had every four to six weeks.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER MY PRP TREATMENT?

Plasma derived from the patient’s own blood should be fully compatible with your body, completely eradicating the chances of any adverse reactions. However, the injections or micro-needling used to reintroduce the plasma may cause initial signs of redness and swelling, signs of bleeding, or possible bruising – all completely normal, and expected to subside anywhere from 12-72 hours post-treatment. Any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our Patient Care team who will be more than happy to assist.
