Platelet rich plasma is a powerful treatment that involves using your own blood as an injectable treatment. This is sometimes known as either The Vampire Facial or The Dracula Facial. A small amount of your blood is taken and the plasma is separated from the rest of the blood via means of a centrifuge. This creates the ‘platelet rich plasma.
This plasma is then injected back into the skin or micro needled into the skin via a Dermapen in the areas of concern. The platelets release their growth factors to promote skin healing and stimulate collagen within the skin. Commonly treated areas include around the eyes, the jaw line, cheeks forehead, nasolabial lines, marionette lines and neck. This is also a great treatment for acne scarring as well as being a powerful anti-ageing treatment. For deep scarring a course of 3 is recommended.
