Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) also known as the vampire facial has been used in medicine in the management of wound healing, tissue repair and in dentistry and sports injuries.  

The procedure is performed in our out-patient clinic and can take up to an hour to complete. The 3 main steps of the procedure are outlined below:

• Blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm

• Your sample is spun in a centrifuge machine which separates the desired components

• The concentration of platelets is injected into your treatment site

The treatment is generally administered at three weekly intervals. Since the treatment is prepared from your own blood, the treatment carries a low risk.

The number of injections required depends on the injury but can range from two to six injections which are performed at weekly intervals.

The Science behind PRP Therapy

​

PRP supports your body’s self-healing processes by using your own cells. Blood is mostly liquid (called plasma) but also contains solid component including red cells, white cells and platelets. The platelets are important for clotting blood but they also contain proteins called growth factors which are important in the healing of injuries.

With a higher concentration of growth factors than typically found in blood, PRP injections support the restoration of injured tissue and inhibit painful inflammatory processes.
