Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that utilizes the patient’s own blood. The blood is processed to isolate and concentrate platelet-rich plasma, which contains growth factors that stimulate cellular repair and tissue regeneration. When reintroduced into the face or scalp, PRP promotes skin rejuvenation and supports hair restoration. This procedure is commonly referred to as the “vampire face lift”.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets rich in growth factors. It’s widely used for facial rejuvenation and hair restoration because it stimulates natural healing and tissue regeneration.
Platelets play a crucial part in the body’s ability to stop bleeding and repair damaged blood vessels and cells in the body. They contain substances called growth factors that activate and rejuvenate cells in the body.
The concentrated platelets in PRP contain vast amounts of bioactive protein, which include growth factors.
These growth factors have been shown to initiate accelerated tissue repair and to have positive effects on skin rejuvenation. The growth factors, when released, promote tissue repair and collagen production.
The entire procedure takes approximately 1 hour. At Dermatox Skin Clinic you will have an initial consultation to discuss your medical history and treatment expectations. You will then have topical anaesthetic cream applied to the whole of the face. This will be left for approximately 45 minutes to allow the skin to numb. Our practitioner will then take some blood from your arm before placing the blood into a centrifuge machine. After blood has been spun, the practitioner will then inject your face with the Platelet Rich Plasma. This may cause slight but brief discomfort. You may experience temporary swelling, bruising or itchiness around the site of the treatment. This will usually settle within a day or two.
As this treatment is done using your own blood, the concern for disease transmission is eliminated and minimises the chances for possible side effects- making it a very safe procedure.
Side effects, if they occur, are usually temporary and mild to moderate. Possible side effects are mild bruising, swelling or infection around the injection sites.
PRP treatment typically requires 4–6 weeks to show improvement in skin texture and 4–6 months to achieve noticeable increases in hair density. For optimal and sustained results, 3–6 treatment sessions are usually recommended.
The treatment normally takes 4 to 6 weeks to take effect and you are often required to have repeat treatments to maintain the results.
