The skin loses elasticity and becomes prone to lines and discolouration as it ages. The skin may also become unreceptive to creams and serums. It may no longer have the ability to absorb topical preparations due to its declining condition.
Fortunately, there is an innovation in skin care technology that effectively promotes skin rejuvenation from a cellular level. This is Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP skin treatment, also popularly known as Vampire skin rejuvenation.
You can’t turn back the time, but you can certainly slow down and even reverse skin aging. With the miracle harnessed through biological growth factor, skin rejuvenation has never been this powerful. Discover more about biological skin rejuvenation through Platelet Rich Plasma.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is blood plasma which contains high amounts of platelets. These help to regenerate the skin, improve texture and reduce fine lines.
PRP is also referred to as the 'vampire facial' as the patients own blood is used to rejuvenate the skin.
The Wonders of Platelet Rich Plasma
How exactly does PRP help the skin regenerate to improve its overall condition?
For more than two decades, PRP gel is used in chronic and acute wounds. With all the proteins, peptides, and other plasma-derived biological growth factors, skin rejuvenation occurs. The wounds start to heal, and the skin exhibits a smooth and hydrated quality.
When used as a facial beauty treatment, the skin can also enjoy the same wonderful benefits. The bioactive proteins in the plasma activate skin regeneration, resulting in soft, smooth, and supple skin. Skin sagging and lines become less pronounced, and the skin tone becomes more even.
How does it work?
First your blood is drawn then put into a machine which separates the plasma from the blood. Then the plasma is injected into the skin either through superficial injections, deeper injections with cannula or a topical combination of other treatments.
This direct injection of PRP into the skin stimulates the production of collagen, which helps to regenerate and repair the bodies tissue.
As well as this, PRP has a wide range of other benefits including:
- Remodelling of collagen
- Improved skin texture, colour and aleasticity
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Faster healing following other cosemetic treatments
- Fresher more youthful look to the skin

- Upper & Lower eyelids
