Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a non-surgical treatment that utilises your own body’s healing abilities to stimulate skin healing, repair and recovery. It has the power to trigger your body’s own tissue regeneration potential.  It is a natural treatment that uses the platelets from your own blood. When activated, platelets secrete and release at least 7 different growth factors which enhance the natural healing processes. They also stimulate growth of collagen to rejuvenate the skin, improve the blood supply to the tissues and can greatly improve skin tone and texture. 

​

PRP has been thoroughly investigated, and is used by Doctors regularly for nerve injury, tendinitis, osteoarthritis, cardiac muscle injury, bone repair and regeneration, plastic surgery and oral surgery. PRP helps treat sports injuries in professional athletes as well to stimulate healing for skin wounds and burns.
