PRP, or platelet rich plasma, is a plasma-based treatment. Your own blood is the active ingredient, and it’s used to support healing, collagen production and cell renewal. Platelet rich plasma treatment in Dubai is used for facial ageing, thinning hair and general skin damage. It doesn’t involve surgery or fillers..
A small amount of blood is drawn first. It goes into a high-speed centrifuge, which separates the plasma rich in growth factors from the rest. That plasma is then injected into the areas being treated.
Common applications include:
- PRP facial sometimes called a vampire facial, often chosen for fine lines, wrinkles and dull skin
- PRP hair treatment aimed at supporting follicles, thickness and growth
- Under-eye rejuvenation, to help with dark circles and puffiness
- PRP skin treatment for acne scars and overall texture
Most people who visit our PRP clinic in Dubai have three to six sessions, about four to six weeks apart. Mild redness or swelling straight afterwards is common and usually settles within a day or two.
Before any blood is drawn, our practitioners go through your medical history. Certain blood conditions, an active skin infection in the treatment area or blood-thinning medication can change the approach. In those cases we talk through what may suit you better.
Benefits of PRP by Lux Aeterna
Across a course of sessions, collagen and elastin may get a gradual boost, and skin can look brighter and a little firmer. Smoother too, in many cases. For hair, some people notice follicles feeling thicker and healthier. Because the plasma is your own, the risk of side effects is generally low. Results still vary from person to person.
Some people arrive asking about Morpheus8 treatment as well, usually because they’d like to work on their skin from more than one angle. Whether the two make sense together depends on your skin and what you’d like to change, and our practitioners go through that with you at your consultation. If there’s a mole in the area being treated, a mole check up comes first, before any PRP or microneedling is planned there.
