PRP Treatments

Advanced injectable skin rejuvenation — Profhilo, polynucleotides, Sculptra, Radiesse, mesotherapy, microneedling and PRP — to improve skin quality from within.

PRP Treatments

Overview

Understanding PRP Treatments

Skin rejuvenation is about treating the skin itself — its hydration, firmness, density and glow — rather than adding volume. The treatments in this category use ultra-pure hyaluronic acid (Profhilo), polynucleotides, polylactic acid (Sculptra), calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse), peptide mesotherapy cocktails, the patient's own platelets (PRP), or controlled micro-injury (microneedling) to stimulate the skin's own production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The result is skin that is genuinely healthier — not just covered in product — and changes that develop over weeks to months.

Treats Skin Itself

Stimulates collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid — not a topical fix.

Natural Glow

Healthy luminosity that develops over weeks, not an injected look.

Tailored Combinations

Profhilo, polynucleotides, microneedling and PRP combine well in planned sequence.

Long-Term Results

Improvements continue developing over months and accumulate with maintenance.

Who It's For

Is this category right for you?

The clients who benefit most from prp treatments typically share one or more of these goals.

  • Dull, tired or dehydrated skin that no longer 'bounces back'
  • Early ageing — fine lines, loss of firmness, reduced glow
  • Clients who want to improve skin quality without adding volume
  • Post-pregnancy or post-illness skin recovery
  • Skin laxity in the lower face, neck, décolletage and hands
  • Maintenance for clients already happy with their facial structure

What 'skin rejuvenation' actually means

Skin rejuvenation, in the modern aesthetic sense, means treating the biology of the skin — collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, fibroblast activity, vascular and barrier function — rather than the appearance alone. The treatments in this category share a common principle: they stimulate the skin to do something itself, rather than placing a substance that masks an issue.

That principle is why results take weeks rather than minutes, and why they last longer than an injected volume change. It is also why these treatments age well: the skin you see at 6 months is genuinely healthier, not just temporarily plumper.

Treatments in this category

  • Profhilo — ultra-pure hyaluronic acid for bio-remodelling, deep hydration and collagen stimulation.
  • Polynucleotides — DNA-fragment injections that support tissue repair and regeneration.
  • Sculptra — poly-L-lactic acid bio-stimulator for gradual, long-lasting collagen restoration.
  • Radiesse — calcium hydroxylapatite for both immediate lift and long-term collagen stimulation.
  • Sunekos — amino-acid + hyaluronic-acid skin boosters for lower face, eyes and neck.
  • Mesotherapy — micro-injection of vitamin, peptide and antioxidant cocktails into the dermis.
  • Microneedling — controlled micro-channels to trigger the skin's repair response and improve absorption.
  • PRP (Vampire Therapy) — platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood for regenerative effect.
  • Skin tag removal — minor procedural skin treatments where appropriate.

Who skin rejuvenation suits

Clients in their late 20s through 60s typically benefit, with the dominant indication shifting from preventative hydration in younger clients to firmness, density and laxity in older clients. Skin rejuvenation suits clients who want to improve quality, not add volume, and who are willing to commit to a course of treatment rather than expecting instant change.

It is also our usual starting recommendation for clients new to aesthetic medicine: it has a strong safety profile, results are subtle, and it builds trust before any decision about more permanent interventions.

Combining treatments

The treatments in this category often work best in planned sequence. A common skin-quality programme might combine Profhilo at month 0 and 1, microneedling monthly for three months, and conservative anti-wrinkle dosing alongside, with maintenance Profhilo every 6 months. We plan combinations carefully: more is not always better, and sequencing matters.

FAQs

PRP Treatments — questions we are asked most

What's the difference between Profhilo and dermal filler?

Profhilo is bio-remodelling, not volumising. It uses ultra-pure hyaluronic acid that spreads through the skin to deeply hydrate and stimulate collagen and elastin — improving skin quality. Dermal filler is gel-like and stays in place to add volume or define contours. Different goals, different treatments.

How are polynucleotides different from Profhilo?

Polynucleotides are short DNA fragments (sourced from purified salmon DNA) that act as a regenerative scaffold, supporting fibroblast activity and tissue repair. Profhilo is hyaluronic acid based and primarily improves hydration and skin quality. They can be used together, sequentially, or chosen based on the dominant concern — your clinician will recommend.

How many sessions of skin rejuvenation do I need?

Most bio-stimulators are course-based. Profhilo is typically two sessions one month apart, then maintained every 6 months. Polynucleotides are typically 3 sessions 2–3 weeks apart. Sculptra is 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with results developing over months. Microneedling is usually a course of 3–4 sessions monthly.

When will I see results from skin rejuvenation?

Skin rejuvenation results develop gradually. Profhilo and polynucleotide changes are typically visible at 4–6 weeks; Sculptra and Radiesse continue to develop over 3–6 months; microneedling shows initial glow within days but full collagen response takes 8–12 weeks. This patience is the trade-off for genuinely healthier skin rather than an instant cover-up.

Is skin rejuvenation painful?

Most injectable skin rejuvenation is described as mildly uncomfortable — fine needles, small volumes. Microneedling uses topical anaesthetic and is generally well tolerated. PRP uses your own blood drawn from a vein. Detailed sensation expectations are on each treatment page.

Can I combine skin rejuvenation with other treatments?

Yes — and combinations often produce better results than single treatments alone. Common combinations include Profhilo + microneedling, polynucleotides + skin booster mesotherapy, and bio-stimulators alongside conservative anti-wrinkle dosing. Your clinician will plan the sequence.
