What is PRP?
PRP uses your own platelet-rich plasma to support your skin's natural healing and rejuvenation. It's a gentle way to refresh tired-looking skin, improve texture and tone, and encourage collagen — and because it uses your own plasma, the risk of an allergic reaction is very low.
We take a small sample of your blood — much like a routine blood test — and spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. This platelet-rich plasma, full of growth factors, is then microneedled or injected back into the skin, where it supports your body's natural repair process.
You'll be given full pre- and after-care guidance so your treatment is safe, comfortable and effective.
The science, simply put
Platelets are central to your body's natural healing — they carry growth factors that repair tissue. Concentrating them means we can deliver a higher level of those growth factors exactly where you want rejuvenation.
Once prepared, the plasma is applied and microneedled into the skin, prompting the natural repair process — supporting cell renewal and collagen for smoother, fresher, more revitalised skin over a course of treatments.

Your PRP treatment with microneedling, step by step
- Choose music or a silent, relaxing treatment.
- We take and prepare your blood.
- We cleanse and tone your skin.
- Your plasma is microneedled into the skin.
- A finishing face mask completes your treatment.
On the day
A small volume of blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test, then spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. The treatment area is cleansed, and the prepared plasma is microneedled or injected into the skin with care and precision.
Afterwards you may notice mild soreness, redness or slight bruising at the treated points. This is normal and usually settles within a day or two.
