PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP therapy, often called the “vampire facial,” involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and re-injecting it into the skin. This powerful treatment stimulates collagen, accelerates healing, and improves overall skin quality.

Perfect for under-eye rejuvenation, fine lines, and general skin regeneration, PRP is a natural, safe way to refresh your complexion. At The Esteem Clinic, we deliver PRP treatments with precision and care, ensuring optimal comfort and results.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) FAQs

What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment?
PRP treatment uses your body’s own platelets and growth factors to stimulate natural healing and regeneration. It’s commonly used for skin rejuvenation, improving texture, tone, and elasticity, and can also support hair growth in thinning areas.

Why do I need a consultation before treatment?
A consultation allows us to assess your skin or hair, understand your goals, and review your medical history. This ensures that PRP is safe for you and allows us to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.

What happens during a consultation?
During your appointment, we’ll discuss your concerns, examine the area to be treated, and explain how PRP works. We’ll also outline expected results, potential side effects, treatment frequency, and costs so you can make an informed decision.

How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your treatment area and goals. Most clients benefit from 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments recommended as needed.

How long does a session take?
A PRP session typically lasts 45–60 minutes, including blood collection, preparation, and treatment of the targeted area.

Is the treatment painful?
PRP involves injections, and most clients feel mild discomfort or a slight pricking sensation. Topical numbing is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.

Can I have treatment on the same day as my consultation?
In some cases, treatment can be performed immediately after your consultation if it’s safe and appropriate. For first-time clients or specific areas, we may recommend a separate appointment to allow for planning and preparation.

What should I do to prepare for treatment?

  • Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for 24 hours prior (unless prescribed).

  • Ensure the treatment area is clean and free from makeup.

  • Discuss any medical conditions, medications, or recent treatments with your practitioner.

What should I expect after treatment?
You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. Results develop gradually as collagen and tissue regeneration occur, with improvements visible over several weeks.
