What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) at Eden Skin & Laser Clinic?
At Eden Skin & Laser Clinic, we offer Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy as a natural, regenerative treatment that uses your body's own growth factors to heal and rejuvenate the skin. Often referred to as "liquid gold," PRP involves concentrating the platelets from your own blood and reintroducing them into the skin. This triggers a powerful healing response, stimulating collagen production and cell renewal to improve skin texture, tone, and overall vitality without the use of synthetic chemicals.
What Does It Treat
Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Natural smoothing of the face and neck.
Tear Troughs: Improving dark circles and hollowing under the eyes.
Skin Texture: Refining pores and smoothing "crepey" skin.
Scarring: Improving the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks.
Hair Thinning: Stimulating dormant hair follicles on the scalp to promote thicker hair growth.
Overall Radiance: Providing a healthy, natural "glow" to tired skin.
How Does It Work
The procedure at Eden Skin & Laser Clinic begins with a small sample of your blood, similar to a standard blood test. This sample is placed in a high-speed centrifuge to separate the platelets and growth factors from the red blood cells. Once we have the concentrated "Platelet Rich Plasma," it is precisely injected or microneedled back into the target areas. These platelets release growth factors that act as messengers, telling your skin to repair itself by producing fresh collagen, elastin, and new blood vessels.
-
Yes. PRP is exceptionally safe because it uses your own biological material, meaning there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection. At Eden Skin & Laser Clinic, we use a closed-system centrifuge to ensure the highest levels of sterility and safety throughout the process.
-
The initial blood draw is no more uncomfortable than a standard medical test. For the treatment itself, we apply a high-strength topical anaesthetic to the skin to ensure you are comfortable. Most clients describe the injections as a mild stinging or pressure sensation.
-
While you may notice an initial "glow" shortly after treatment, the real work happens at a cellular level. You will typically see improvements in skin quality and texture after 3 to 4 weeks. For optimal results, we generally recommend a course of 3 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, as the collagen-building process continues to improve for several months.
-
Downtime is minimal. You may experience some redness, mild swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Most clients find they can return to their normal routine by the following day.
-
Hands Off: Avoid touching or washing the treated area for at least 6 hours to allow the PRP to work.
Temperature: Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and hot showers for 48 hours.
Exercise: Refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.
Makeup: We recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation.
Protection: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily; your skin will be more sensitive to UV during the healing phase.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to support the regenerative process.
Practitioner & Safety Note
All treatments at Eden Skin & Laser Clinic are subject to a thorough face-to-face consultation. This allows our clinical team to assess your medical history, perform a patch test, and discuss the potential risks and realistic expectations of the procedure.
