Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) Treatments
At Gesund, we are committed to providing safe, effective, and personalized PRP treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic and wellness goals.
What Is a Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, also known as the “Vampire Facial,” is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that harnesses the healing power of your blood. By concentrating the platelets found in your blood, we create a potent solution rich in growth factors that stimulates natural tissue repair and rejuvenation.
Steps of PRP Treatment?
- Blood Draw: A small sample of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test.
- Centrifugation: The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
- Activation: The concentrated PRP is activated, further enhancing its growth factor content.
- Application: The activated PRP is then strategically injected or applied topically to the treatment area, depending on your specific needs and goals.
- The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes.
- A topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
- The PRP is then carefully injected or applied to the targeted area.
- You may experience mild redness or swelling, which usually subsides within a few hours.
Benefits of PRP Treatment?
- Skin Rejuvenation: PRP stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin tone, texture, and elasticity. It can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
- Hair Restoration: PRP can promote hair growth by stimulating dormant hair follicles and improving blood circulation to the scalp.
- Joint Pain Relief: PRP injections can reduce inflammation and pain in joints affected by osteoarthritis or sports injuries.
- Natural Results: PRP utilizes your body’s healing mechanisms, providing natural-looking results without the use of synthetic fillers or chemicals.
Why Choose PRP Over Other Treatments?
- Natural & Safe: PRP is derived from your blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or complications.
- Long-Lasting Results: PRP stimulates natural tissue regeneration, providing long-lasting results compared to some temporary fillers or injectables.
- Minimal Downtime: Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
- Versatile: PRP can be used to address a variety of concerns, from skin rejuvenation and hair restoration to joint pain relief.
FAQs
- Is PRP safe? Yes, PRP is generally considered safe as it utilizes your blood components, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
- How many treatments are needed? The number of treatments varies depending on your individual needs and goals. Typically, a series of 3-4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
- How long do the results last? Results can last up to 18 months, but maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the benefits.

Benefits of Combining PRP with Microneedling
- Enhanced Results: Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin, allowing for deeper penetration of the PRP and maximizing its regenerative effects.
- Collagen Boost: The combination of microneedling and PRP stimulates even greater collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
- Reduced Scarring: Microneedling can help break down scar tissue, while PRP promotes healing and tissue remodelling, leading to improved scar appearance.
