Fine lines and texture
PRP has been studied for signs of skin ageing. Some people report changes in texture, but study quality and results vary. Deep folds or loose skin need a broader assessment.

Years of experienceWhat is PRP for skin?
PRP means platelet-rich plasma. A small blood sample is processed in a centrifuge, then the platelet-rich portion is collected for treatment. Preparation methods differ between systems.
Platelets release signals involved in tissue repair. Using PRP for skin aims to support a healing response; this does not mean it can reverse ageing or rebuild every scar.
What could PRP help with?
Selected acne scars
PRP may be discussed alongside another scar procedure. Scar shape matters: adding PRP does not replace treatment for a deep or tethered scar.
Understand acne scars
An addition to another procedure
A combined plan should explain what PRP is expected to add. Evidence for facial rejuvenation remains limited, so benefit should be reviewed rather than assumed.
How is PRP used on skin?
Small skin injections
A clinician may inject small amounts into agreed areas. The preparation, placement and comfort measures depend on the assessment.
With microneedling
Some plans apply PRP to skin treated with microneedling. This is an additional procedure choice with its own risks; a device clearance alone does not establish the safety or benefit of the combination.
Explore microneedlingWho can consider PRP?
- 01
Start with a clear skin goal
Discuss the main change you want to address. Ask how PRP compares with skincare or another procedure for that specific concern.
- 02
Check your health and medicines
Mention blood or platelet disorders, infection, liver disease, poor healing and blood-thinning medicines. Do not stop prescribed medicines on your own.
- 03
Treat active problems first
A rash, infection or inflamed acne may need care before a needle procedure. Share pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergies and previous reactions too.
- 04
Allow for visits and recovery
Consider the blood draw, needle discomfort, aftercare and follow-up. A plan should suit your schedule without promising an instant result.
OUR PROCEDURE
How your appointment works
STEP 01
Assess your skin and agree the plan
- Choose the approach
Discuss PRP alone or with another procedure, who will perform it, likely benefit, risks and alternatives. Confirm preparation and recovery instructions.
- Plan the blood collection
The team checks your history and whether any tests are needed. Tell them if you tend to feel faint during blood draws.
STEP 02
Prepare the PRP and treat the agreed area
- Use your own sample
Your sample is identified and handled using sterile equipment. Only the preparation from your own blood should be used for you.
- Follow the selected method
The skin is prepared and appropriate comfort measures are used. The clinician follows the agreed injection or combined-treatment plan and checks how you feel.
STEP 03
Care for your skin and review
- Get a clear aftercare plan
Confirm when to wash, apply makeup, exercise and restart active skincare. Instructions should match the procedure actually performed.
- Review before repeating
Compare your skin at an agreed follow-up. Ask whether the change justifies another session or whether a different approach is more useful.
What happens after PRP?
- 01
Expect some temporary changes
Tenderness, swelling or bruising can follow injections. Added microneedling may cause redness, dryness or peeling. The recovery depends on the method used.
- 02
Keep the routine gentle
Use the products advised for your treated skin. Avoid picking or trying strong acids and scrubs while it heals, and follow sun-protection advice.
- 03
Know when to contact the clinic
Report worsening pain, spreading redness, discharge or fever. Severe pain, unusual skin colour changes or any vision change after a facial injection need urgent medical attention.
When might you notice a change?
If PRP helps, changes are usually gradual over weeks to months. Early swelling can temporarily change the appearance and should not be judged as the final result.
There is no single proven course that suits everyone. Agree on the goal, number of visits being proposed and a review point. PRP cannot promise wrinkle-free skin, permanent lifting or complete scar removal.
- 01
Understand the limits
Studies use different preparations and combinations. The evidence is not strong enough to predict a particular improvement for you.
- 02
Your own blood does not mean no risk
Infection, bruising and needle-related injury remain possible. Sterile handling and an appropriately trained clinician matter.

MEET THE PEOPLE BEHIND YOUR CARE
Meet our doctors
01Is PRP a filler or a skin booster?
No. PRP is a preparation from your blood. Fillers and products marketed as skin boosters have different ingredients and purposes. Ask what is in any proposed combination.
02Is PRP the same as a vampire facial?
That name is used loosely for facial treatments involving PRP, often with microneedling. Confirm the exact procedure rather than relying on the marketing name.
03Will PRP remove acne scars?
It cannot promise to remove them. Selected scar plans may include PRP with another procedure, but the scar type and the evidence for the combination matter.
04Does it hurt?
A blood draw and skin injections can cause discomfort. Discuss comfort measures and tell the clinician if pain is unexpected or severe.
05How many sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number for everyone. Ask why a particular schedule is proposed and when benefit will be reviewed before more treatment.
06Can I go straight back to work?
That depends on bruising, swelling, your work and whether another procedure is added. Leave room for recovery rather than planning around a guarantee of no downtime.
07Should I stop blood-thinning medicine?
Do not stop prescribed treatment on your own. Tell the clinician what you take so they can assess whether PRP is suitable and coordinate any advice with your prescriber.
08Is PRP a stem cell treatment?
No. PRP concentrates platelets from your blood; it does not mean that stem cells are being collected or transplanted.
