YOUR BLOOD. YOUR RENEWAL.
An injectable treatment that uses your own platelet-rich plasma to support skin renewal and collagen production, with no foreign substances.
ABOUT THIS TREATMENT
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy takes a fundamentally different approach to skin rejuvenation. Rather than introducing an external substance, it concentrates the powerful growth factors already present in your own blood and delivers them precisely where the skin needs to rebuild.
Platelets, the components of blood responsible for wound healing and tissue repair, contain a rich supply of growth factors that stimulate cell proliferation, collagen synthesis, and new blood vessel formation. When concentrated and reinjected, these growth factors accelerate the skin’s own regenerative processes, improving texture, tone, and elasticity from within.
PRP addresses fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and general skin dullness. Because the treatment uses your own biological material, there is no risk of rejection or allergic reaction. Prof. Hindocha combines precise injection technique with an individualised assessment to target the areas where your skin will benefit most.

First Follow-Up
Your treatment plan is agreed at consultation, after an assessment and a discussion of what you hope to achieve.
HOW PRP WORKS
The entire treatment takes around one hour. Every step is carried out in the clinic on the same day, using only the biological material drawn from your own blood.
Blood Draw
A small sample, typically 10–20ml, is drawn from your arm. The process is quick and identical to a routine blood test. No anaesthetic is required at this stage.
Centrifugation
The sample is placed in a centrifuge and spun at high speed, separating the blood into its component layers by density and weight.
Plasma Extraction
The platelet-rich plasma layer is carefully extracted. It is concentrated to 3–5x the normal platelet density of whole blood.
Targeted Injection
The concentrated PRP is injected precisely into the target areas using fine needles, delivering growth factors directly where the skin needs to regenerate.
AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
Day of Treatment
Redness, mild swelling, and tenderness at the injection sites are normal and expected. The skin may appear flushed for several hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and active skincare products on the day of treatment.
Days 2–3
A review appointment is scheduled at 2–3 days to assess the initial response and confirm healing is progressing well. Any minor bruising or localised tenderness typically resolves within this window.
Weeks 1–2
The growth factors in the concentrated plasma are actively stimulating the skin's repair processes. Early improvements in texture and hydration begin to emerge as the regenerative cascade takes hold beneath the surface.
Weeks 4–8
Progressive improvement in skin quality, tone, and texture becomes visible as new collagen and elastin develop. Results continue to mature over 3–6 months. A course of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal outcome.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
PRP results build progressively as the skin’s own regenerative response matures. Unlike treatments that produce an immediate cosmetic correction, PRP aims to improve the quality of the skin itself, using your body’s own healing response.
THE SCIENCE OF PRP
PRP works because platelets carry a concentrated supply of growth factors, proteins that direct the skin’s repair and renewal processes. Three are particularly significant in aesthetic skin rejuvenation.
PDGF
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor stimulates cell proliferation and migration, recruits fibroblasts to the treated area, and initiates the cascade that leads to new collagen synthesis. It is the primary driver of the tissue-repair response.
VEGF
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor promotes the formation of new blood vessels in the treated tissue. This supports local blood supply and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin.
TGF-β
Transforming Growth Factor-beta is the primary signal driving new collagen and elastin production. It regulates fibroblast activity in the dermis. Any firming or smoothing effect develops over the weeks after treatment.
WHY PATIENTS CHOOSE PRP
PRP is an autologous treatment: the material used comes entirely from your own body. There is no foreign substance introduced, no risk of allergic reaction, and no immunological rejection. It is one of the most biocompatible treatments in aesthetic medicine.
PRP is used for a range of skin concerns, from fine lines and laxity to acne scarring and pigmentation. The growth factors stimulate broad tissue repair rather than addressing any single concern in isolation.
PRP is often used alongside laser, chemical peels and Profhilo. When combined with resurfacing treatments, the growth factors are intended to support healing after the procedure.
Most patients return to light work the same day or the day after treatment. The visible skin-level response (redness, mild swelling) resolves within 24–48 hours, after which the regenerative process continues invisibly beneath the surface.
IS THIS TREATMENT RIGHT FOR YOU?
PRP is suitable for a wide range of patients seeking genuine skin quality improvement. Because it uses your own biological material, it is particularly well-suited to those who prefer to avoid synthetic substances or who have not responded fully to other treatments.

After years of being unhappy with my breasts after breastfeeding, I'm so glad I trusted my instincts and waited until I found the right surgeon. From my first consultation, Professor Hindocha made me feel completely at ease and I knew I could trust him. I'm only a week post-op and already love my results. I feel incredibly lucky to have found him and truly believe I found the best surgeon.
