A favourite amongst celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Angelina Jolie and Tiger Woods for complete skin revitalisation. PRP works by stimulating new collagen production and encouraging healing and healthy cell renewal.
This cosmetic treatment uses your own platelets in your blood to restore and stimulate collagen, which is the protein responsible for keeping tissue and muscles tight and strong. PRP is simply a method for directing your body’s own restorative resources to places that need it most, and because it uses your own blood, it is ideal for those looking for natural skin rejuvenation without the use of toxins, fillers or other substances.
Commonly known as the 'Vampire Facial', PRP treatments have proven successful for treating sagging skin, fine lines, wrinkles, scarring and evening skin tone, and while it doesn’t entail undergoing any type of surgical procedure, it does use your own blood as part of the cocktail to promote collagen growth underneath the skin.
