PRP is suitable for individuals seeking to improve acne scar appearance, skin texture, and overall skin quality using a natural, regenerative approach. It is safe for all skin tones and works particularly well as part of a combination scar treatment programme. Patients with certain blood disorders or those on blood-thinning medications may not be suitable candidates.

PRP accelerates the skin's natural healing response, enhances collagen production, and improves skin quality with minimal risk of adverse reactions due to its autologous (self-derived) nature. When combined with procedures such as microneedling or subcision, PRP amplifies results and shortens recovery time. Patients often notice improvements in skin texture, hydration, and radiance alongside scar improvement.

Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for one week before treatment. Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to the procedure to support effective platelet collection. Avoid alcohol and vigorous exercise 24 hours before your appointment.

A small blood sample is drawn from your arm and processed in a centrifuge for approximately 10 minutes to concentrate the platelets. The prepared PRP is then injected into acne scar areas or applied in combination with a microneedling procedure. A topical anaesthetic is used to ensure comfort. The full session, including preparation, takes approximately 30–45 minutes.

Mild redness, swelling, and pinpoint marks are expected immediately after PRP treatment and typically resolve within 24–48 hours. Avoid washing the face for several hours after the procedure. Apply a gentle moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen as advised. Refrain from makeup, active skincare ingredients, and strenuous activity for 24 hours.

PRP is derived from the patient's own blood, making it one of the safest aesthetic treatments available. Temporary redness, mild swelling, and bruising at injection sites are common and resolve quickly. Allergic reactions are extremely rare due to the autologous nature of PRP.

The cost of PRP treatment varies depending on the number of sessions, the area being treated, and whether PRP is used as a standalone or combined therapy. A personalised treatment plan with cost details will be provided during your dermatologist consultation.
