What is PRP Treatment?

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment, is an advanced medical procedure that utilises the body’s own healing capabilities to promote tissue regeneration and rejuvenation. This innovative treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this rich plasma back into targeted areas of your body.

How Does PRP Work?

The concentrated platelets in PRP contain growth factors and proteins essential for healing and tissue repair. When injected into areas such as the skin, scalp, or injured joints, PRP stimulates cellular regeneration, enhances collagen production, and accelerates healing processes.

Benefits of PRP Treatment

1. Skin Rejuvenation: PRP improves skin texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and enhances overall complexion.


2. Hair Restoration: It stimulates hair follicles, promoting natural hair growth for those experiencing thinning or hair loss.


3. Improved Scarring: PRP can help reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars, by promoting collagen production and skin regeneration.


4. Minimal Downtime: As a minimally invasive procedure, PRP typically requires little recovery time. Most patients can resume their daily activities within a day or two, though some may experience mild swelling or redness at the injection sites.

​

5. Reduction of Dark Circles: PRP can improve the appearance of dark circles under the eyes by rejuvenating the skin and stimulating collagen production in that area.

6. Boosted Skin Hydration: PRP can enhance skin hydration and elasticity, leading to a more supple and youthful complexion.

7. Non-Allergenic: Since PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or side effects is minimal compared to synthetic fillers or other treatments.

8. Long-Lasting Results: The results of PRP therapy can be long-lasting, particularly when combined with good skincare practices.

9. Versatility: PRP can be used in various areas of the body, including the face, neck, hands, and even for rejuvenating the décolletage.

Combining PRP with Tixel Treatment

For enhanced results, PRP treatment can be combined with Tixel treatment, a non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses thermal energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. Tixel works by creating micro-injuries in the skin, promoting healing and enhancing the skin's appearance.

When PRP is applied after Tixel treatment, the growth factors in the PRP can penetrate deeper into the skin, accelerating healing and maximising results. This combination not only improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles but also provides a more radiant and youthful appearance.

Patients often experience improved overall skin quality with reduced downtime, as the healing properties of PRP support the skin’s recovery from the Tixel procedure.

Explore the potential of PRP treatment as a stand alone or combined with Tixel to rejuvenate your skin, restore your hair, and heal injuries naturally. Discover how these cutting-edge therapies can enhance your well-being and boost your confidence!
