Microneedling works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen. The idea is that pinpricks from the procedure cause slight trauma to the skin and that the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue.  This new skin tissue is, in turn, more even in tone and texture. It’s normal for the skin to lose collagen via age or injury. so by encouraging the skin to make new tissue, there may be more collagen to help make the skin firmer, too.

Microneedling is most often used on your face to target:  

• Acne scars 
• Age spots (also called “sun spots”) 
• Fine lines and wrinkles 
• Large pores 
• Reduced skin elasticity 
• Uneven skin tone

Our own blood plasma contains “platelets”, which carry many powerful proteins and enzymes known as “growth factors”. These miraculous, natural elements promote the healing of damaged skin, including skin that has loosened or lost volume due to the natural ageing process.  During PRP Therapy, I take a small amount of your blood. This blood sample is then processed and filtered to isolate your plasma that contains the platelets. I then inject this platelet-rich plasma into your treatable areas, causing the fluid to release its proteins and work their natural magic in your skin. The surrounding cells begin to proliferate and repair damage. Collagen production is enhanced and your skin increases in volume. Over time, your skin becomes firmer, radiant and rejuvenated.

In the last few years, PRP therapy has emerged as an intriguing preventative treatment for hair loss, suitable for both men and women. By separating your own blood and then injecting the new Platelet-Rich-Plasma sample into your scalp, it is believed that any stem cells around your targeted hair follicles are kickstarted into action. The result is that new hair growth can be promoted, even with follicles that had previously been inactive.  PRP therapy can be used in conjunction with all hair loss medications, such as Minoxidil and DHT blockers, such as finasteride. You can even use it to complement any hair transplant procedures you may have had elsewhere, the injections working to stimulate the newly planted follicles in your scalp.  As with all hair loss treatments, results vary from patient to patient, but PRP therapy has shown to improve hair calibre and hair thickness. 

For optimal results its recommended you have 3 - 4 treatments, 4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are then required every 4 - 6 months. Inevitably results will vary patient to patient.
