Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection
PRP is a biological aesthetic treatment that uses a concentration of a client’s own blood components as part of a cosmetic skin quality support procedure.
Within an aesthetic setting, PRP is selected to support the appearance of skin texture, tone and overall skin vitality, using autologous (self-derived) material.

Enhanced skin texture and smoothness
Treatment methods and techniques are determined by the practitioner following consultation.
