What is Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) and What can it do for You?

PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP)

What is Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) and What can it do for You?

Platelets are blood cells performing multiple roles in your body:

  • They encourage blood clotting to stop you bleeding excessively when you’re injured, even if you’ve only suffered a tiny cut
  • Your platelets’ growth factors help wounds heal, making them critical to a healthy body

Astra Medi Spa’s PRP therapy revolves around using plasma (liquid blood) which has been augmented to carry many more platelets than it normally would. As a result, an area of skin affected by a specific issue or condition will be given a higher concentration of those all-important growth factors, to look and feel better than ever.

How do PRP Treatments Work?

During PRP therapy, a sample of your blood will be taken and the platelets inside will be separated from the other cells using a centrifuge.

This spins them at a high speed until they’re ready to be injected into the target zone, with as much as 10 times more platelets than occurs naturally.

Using PRP Treatments for Healthier-looking Skin

Astra Medi Spa’s specialists use PRP to harness your own healing power and improve various cosmetic conditions, including:

Fine lines / wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are the most recognizable signs of aging. They can be pretty difficult to accept, especially if you feel you’re starting to develop a few more than you should.

We’ll inject platelet-rich plasma into the target area(s) of your face to reduce the visibility of these wrinkles, stimulating production of collagen and elastin. You’ll look rejuvenated and more youthful following the number of treatments required.

Dark circles

Dark circles make you look more tired — and, sadly, older — than you might actually be.

Fortunately, we can inject PRP into the skin under your eyes to ease dark circles over time, which makes a great complement to treating other signs of aging.

Acne scars

Have acne scars you want to make less noticeable? They’re a common side-effect of this irritating skin condition, and PRP therapy sessions will make a visible difference to your scars in the long run.

This saves time covering them up with foundation or applying creams.

Stretch marks

Stretch marks caused by fluctuations in weight or pregnancy may be targeted with Platelet-rich Plasma treatments too. These affect the stomach, thighs or other areas of the body, and might be visible enough to affect your self-image.

How can you Arrange your Own PRP Treatment?

Our PRP therapy is a fantastic solution to help boost the skin’s look and feel, creating a more youthful aesthetic.

We know Platelet-rich Plasma treatments sound fairly daunting, but we’ll answer any questions you may have before and during your in-depth consultation. Our team’s dedicated to giving you all the details you need to know before you sign up for any of our PRP sessions.
