FAQS
What can PRP do for me?
PRP is an effective treatment for improving skin texture and repairing sun damage. Skin becomes luminescent, hydrated, nourished, and firmer and texture is improved.
What is the treatment like ?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a by-product of blood (plasma) that is rich in platelets.
Dr Maather AlKattan will take a small amount of your blood and place this in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the platelet-rich plasma containing growth factors. The plasma is then re-injected into treatment area – it can be administered either in multiple micro-injections, like Mesotherapy or Dermal Hydrating Treatments, directly into lines and wrinkles, like a filler, or deeper into the dermis, like a volumiser.
The process should be no more painful than any other injectable procedure, but the treatment area might be numbed beforehand with a topical local anaesthetic cream. Some practitioners combine this with other ‘self-heal’ treatments, like Medical Micro-Needling to enhance the results.
What will happen afterwards?
There might be a small amount of redness or swelling at injection site, but this should fade quickly. You might also have some bruising where the blood was taken, but again this won’t last. One thing to avoid is taking aspirin or any anti-inflammatory drugs. This isn’t a one-off treatment – a course of treatments is usually recommended and it might take up to six months for the results of platelet rich plasma therapy to show, but the real benefit is that they should be permanent. Improvement of skin texture and tone are noticeable within three weeks. Full collagen regeneration takes three months.
