PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
At EOS Aesthetics, we specialise in cutting-edge treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a revolutionary procedure that harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities to rejuvenate skin and promote hair growth. Below, we answer your most pressing questions about PRP therapy for skin and hair.
Frequently asked questions
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and How Does it Work?
PRP is derived from your blood and is rich in growth factors that stimulate cell regeneration. During the treatment, we extract a small amount of your blood, process it to concentrate the platelets, and then inject the PRP into targeted areas. This natural, non-invasive procedure accelerates healing, boosts collagen production, and promotes healthy hair follicles.
What Results Can I Expect from PRP?
PRP offers remarkable results for both skin and hair:
- For skin: Improved texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, minimised scars, and a more radiant complexion.
- For hair: Reduced hair thinning, revitalised dormant hair follicles, and noticeable improvements in hair thickness and density.
Results vary, but many clients see gradual improvements within weeks, with continued enhancements over several months.
Who Should Consider PRP?
PRP is ideal for individuals who:
- Want to improve skin texture and elasticity.
- Seek natural-looking anti-aging results.
- Experience hair thinning or early stages of hair loss.
- Wish to enhance healing from acne scars or other skin concerns.
Our team at EOS Aesthetics will evaluate your goals and determine if PRP is the right treatment for you.
How Is PRP Administered at EOS Aesthetics?
The PRP procedure involves three steps:
- Blood Collection: A small sample of your blood is drawn.
- Centrifugation: The blood is processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
- Injection: The PRP is injected into the targeted areas of the skin or scalp using a fine needle.
The treatment is minimally invasive and performed in a comfortable, sterile environment.
How Long Does It Take to See Results with PRP?
While some clients notice subtle improvements within a few weeks, optimal results typically develop over 3-6 months as collagen production increases and hair follicles are revitalised. Regular sessions enhance and sustain the benefits.
Are There Any Side Effects of PRP?
Since PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is minimal. Mild side effects, such as redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site, are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. At EOS Aesthetics, your comfort and safety are always our priority.
What Can PRP Help With?
PRP is highly versatile and can address multiple concerns:
- Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improving skin elasticity and tone.
- Reducing acne scars and pigmentation.
- Stimulating hair growth and preventing further hair loss.
What Foods Are High in Nutrients That Support PRP Results?
A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can enhance PRP results. Foods like spinach, kale, eggs, nuts, and salmon support collagen production and overall skin and hair health.
How Does PRP Benefit Skin and Hair?
PRP rejuvenates the skin by stimulating collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and younger-looking skin. For hair, PRP improves blood flow to the scalp and revitaliSes dormant follicles, encouraging healthier and thicker hair growth.
Can I Combine PRP with Other Treatments?
Absolutely! PRP pairs well with treatments like micro-needling, dermal fillers, and vitamin injections for enhanced results. At EOS Aesthetics, we’ll create a personalised plan to meet your unique goals.
Is PRP Safe During Pregnancy?
While PRP is a natural treatment, we recommend consulting your GP or obstetrician before undergoing any procedures during pregnancy. Your health and safety are paramount to us.
