I was always Team Edward, so when I heard about Vampire Facials (otherwise known as PRP skin treatments) I knew it was something I wanted to sink my teeth into. Today’s post will take a look at everything you need to know about PRP skin treatments with Hair and Skin Science.

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. This is a component of your blood that encourages healing. When PRP is injected beneath the surface of the skin, it can help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The reason this facial is so popular is twofold;

1. It is absorbed in the skin deeper than topical treatments

2. Collagen and elastin are involved in firming and tightening of the skin, which is where the ‘anti-aging’ benefits come into play, because this can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

 If you are looking to reduce the appearance of acne scars, sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines, discolouration and hyperpigmentation, a PRP skin treatment is well suited to you.

As we get older, our skin can lose its ability to remain flexible and retain moisture. Consider a PRP skin treatment as a helping hand to what our skin can do naturally; heal.

Hair and Skin Science

Hair and Skin Science are also now offing hair loss treatments in London. In Australia they offer PRP skin and hair treatments in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Perth, Canberra & Adelaide, you can book here.

Treatment times vary between 35-45 minutes, and have 2-5 days of recovery time. It’s non-invasive, so you can go about your day as normal and and your clinician will advise on how to care for your skin following the treatment.

By the time women reach their 50s, about 40% will experience hair loss. PRP injections can offer an effective natural solution for women experiencing hair loss and thinning, by helping to stimulate and regrow hair follicles. Procedures take around 30 minutes, and requires approximately 6 sessions to achieve results. You will notice an improvement in the appearance of hair in a few weeks of receiving the non-invasive treatment.

Developed in the US, Hair and Skin Science are one of the first clinics in Australia to offer PRF. PRF skin treatments are an evolution of the PRP skin treatments, standing for platelet rich fibrin. A difference of PRF vs PRP is that PRF may continue to release growth factors over time even after the treatment has been completed. Building on the same concept of using the natural healing power of your own blood to help encourage the production of collagen and elastin, PRF may contain a much greater concentration of platelets than PRP.

Skin concerns that will be targeted and improved with a PRF facial include wrinkles and fine lines, damaged skin, acne scarring, hyper-pigmentation and sagging and discoloured skin.

The team led by Australian doctors at Hair and Skin Science can help you determine which treatment is best for you.

Everyone is different, so their results and experiences with the treatments above will be too! The information presented on this website should be used as a guide only.
