What Are PRP Treatments?
Our PRP are led by Dr Ricky, a Harley Academy trained Aesthetics Doctor at Cosmedica Skin.
PRP therapy starts with a simple blood draw, typically from the patient’s arm. This blood is then processed using a centrifuge to isolate platelets and growth factors. These concentrated components are injected into the scalp or facial areas, stimulating healing and regeneration.
The allure of PRP therapy lies not only in its effectiveness but also in its minimal invasiveness. Since it uses the patient’s own blood, there is hardly any risk of allergic reactions and a very low risk of complications compared to other treatments.
PRP Hair Loss Treatment
After this treatment, skin texture improves significantly over time, with many reporting an enhanced complexion and a reduction in fine lines.
The Role of Centrifugation in PRP Extraction
For PRP treatments, Dr Ricky works closely with each patient to create a personalised treatment plan based on individual needs and goals.
Centrifugation is a vital step in PRP extraction. This process involves spinning the blood at high speeds, separating its components by density. Many traditional centrifuges fail to produce an optimal concentration of platelets, potentially leading to less effective treatments.
In contrast, the Cellenis® centrifuge utilises advanced technology that optimises this separation process. As a result, patients benefit from a more concentrated PRP solution. This higher platelet concentration can increase the effectiveness of treatments for both hair loss and facial rejuvenation and can mean the difference between noticeable results and subtle improvements.

PRP for Hair Loss
Hair loss affects millions, impacting self-esteem and overall confidence. PRP therapy offers hope by providing a non-surgical approach with promising results.
The growth factors in PRP increase blood circulation to hair follicles, triggering the hair growth cycle. Patients frequently report substantial improvements. For example 84% of patients in clinical studies reported positive results, with some seeing a decrease in hair shedding, an increase in hair count and a visible thickening of their hair after having a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Ideal Candidates for PRP Hair Treatments
PRP therapy is suitable for both men and women facing different types of hair loss like androgenetic alopecia (age related hair loss). Candidates should maintain realistic expectations; results vary based on individual factors such as the extent of hair loss and overall health. Consulting a qualified practitioner can help determine suitability.
PRP for Facial Rejuvenation
Beyond hair restoration, PRP therapy is making significant inroads into the field of facial aesthetics. It is celebrated for its ability to enhance skin texture, minimize fine lines, and promote a youthful glow. PRP has been used by celebrities worldwide where it is also well known in the media as the “vampire facial.”
How PRP Works for Facial Treatments
When injected into facial areas, PRP stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity, tone along with fine lines and wrinkles. Many patients notice skin texture improvements after just two or three sessions. In clinical trials, 75% of patients reported a more youthful appearance after receiving PRP treatments, highlighting its effectiveness.
Safety and Considerations
PRP therapy’s use of patients’ own blood generally makes it a safe option, mitigating the risk of allergic reactions. However, it’s essential for patients to consult skilled practitioners to assess if they are the right candidates for treatment.
