PLATELET-RICH PLASMA PRP

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated solution derived from your own blood, enriched with platelets, growth factors, and cytokines to activate cellular regeneration and boost the healing process.

PRP works by isolating platelets from your blood and injecting them into skin tissues, where they release growth factors that stimulate natural collagen production, enhance tissue repair, and improve the skin's overall appearance.

The procedure typically starts with a thorough consultation, understanding patient goals, and creating a tailored treatment plan. We then proceed to clean the target areas, and a topical anaesthetic may be applied. During the PRP procedure, a small blood sample is taken from your arm. It’s then centrifuged to concentrate the platelets. The PRP is injected into targeted areas of the skin using fine needles, with the entire process typically lasting about an hour.

Candidates for PRP include individuals seeking improvement for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation. It's unsuitable for those with certain blood disorders, active infections, or who are pregnant.

Post-treatment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites, which usually subside within a few days. Avoiding strenuous exercise and sun exposure is recommended immediately after the procedure.

Initial results can appear within a few weeks, with improvements in texture and tone continuing for up to six months. Maintenance sessions, typically once or twice a year, may extend and enhance these effects.

 At Forever Young Cosmetic, we understand that the cost of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments can vary based on the unique needs of each individual. Typically, we recommend a course of three treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by a maintenance session every 6-9 months to achieve optimal results. The cost is influenced by the specific areas being treated and the number of sessions booked. To ensure a personalised approach, we offer a consultations with our qualified medical professionals, who will devise a customised treatment plan and provide a detailed cost estimate. For your convenience, we have also compiled a comprehensive price list below, reflecting our tailored treatment packages and pricing structure.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is generally considered safe as it involves using a patient’s own blood, minimising the risk of allergic reactions or disease transmission. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications. These may include mild pain at the injection site, swelling, bruising, and, in rare cases, infection. There is also a slight possibility of tissue damage or nerve injuries. At our clinic, all procedures are performed by trained medical professionals in a sterile environment to mitigate these risks. We conduct thorough consultations prior to treatment to assess suitability and to discuss any concerns or pre-existing conditions that may affect the safety of PRP therapy.

PRP is a promising cosmetic treatment for those looking to naturally rejuvenate their skin through the body's own healing mechanisms. With minimal downtime and ongoing advancements in application methods, PRP presents an attractive option for achieving a more youthful and vibrant complexion.
