Use your body’s own natural power for skin rejuvenation
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an advanced treatment that utilises the body’s own platelets to stimulate healing and rejuvenation in the skin. PRP is rich in growth factors that promote collagen production, making it a powerful tool for improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity. It’s a natural, minimally invasive option for those seeking a refreshed and youthful appearance.
A versatile solution for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and healing
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy can benefit a variety of skin and health conditions, including:
- Skin Rejuvenation: Helps improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity, making it beneficial for those looking to reduce signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.
- Acne Scars: PRP can stimulate collagen production, which helps in reducing the appearance of acne scars and other skin imperfections.
- Hair Loss: PRP is widely used to promote hair regrowth in conditions like androgenic alopecia (pattern baldness) by stimulating hair follicles.
- Hyperpigmentation: Can help in evening out skin tone by promoting cell renewal and reducing discoloration.
- Wound Healing: Often used to aid in the recovery of post-surgical or traumatic skin injuries by accelerating tissue repair.
Each treatment is administered with precision by our highly trained medical team, who have received advanced training in PRP and phlebotomy from industry experts.
PRP combined with Microneedling
PRP can also be combined with microneedling to enhance skin rejuvenation. Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin, allowing the PRP—rich in growth factors—to penetrate more effectively, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This powerful combination promotes faster skin healing, refines texture, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and acne scars. The different treatment options can be discussed during a consultation, where we take a bespoke approach tailored to each client’s unique needs.

The downtime with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy is generally minimal, but it can vary depending on the area treated and individual skin sensitivity. Most patients experience some redness, mild swelling, or pinpoint bruising immediately following the treatment, which usually subsides within 1–3 days. Some may notice slight tenderness or tightness in the treated area, which resolves fairly quickly.
In most cases, clients can return to their regular activities immediately, though it’s recommended to avoid intense exercise, sun exposure, and certain skincare products for a few days to optimise results and minimise irritation.
Typically, a series of 3 to 6 treatments is recommended every 12 months for optimal skin rejuvenation results. The exact number of sessions may vary based on the individual’s skin condition, treatment goals, and area being treated.
For hair restoration, a series of 3 to 6 treatments is recommended, with 6-monthly boosters of 1 treatment for hair transplant clients to maintain results.
After the initial series, many clients benefit from maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months to sustain the results. Each client’s plan is customised based on their unique needs, and our team at The Hestia Clinic ensures a personalised approach for the best outcomes
Yes, PRP is considered a very safe procedure. Since it uses the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or immune responses is extremely low. PRP is minimally invasive, and side effects are usually mild, often limited to temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days.
As with any medical procedure, the safety of PRP largely depends on the expertise of the provider. At The Hestia Clinic, our highly trained medical team, who have received specialised training in PRP and phlebotomy from industry experts, ensure that each treatment is performed with the utmost precision and adherence to safety standards.
Yes, PRP is often referred to as the “Vampire Facial,” but there’s a slight distinction between the terms. The Vampire Facial® is a popular nickname for a specific aesthetic procedure that combines microneedling with the application of PRP to the face. During this treatment, microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin, allowing the PRP to penetrate more effectively and stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin rejuvenation.
PRP alone can be injected or applied without microneedling and is also used in a variety of treatments beyond facial rejuvenation, like hair restoration and joint healing. So, while all Vampire Facials use PRP, not all PRP treatments are Vampire Facials.
