What is PRP treatment? 

​

PRP treatment is a cosmetic treatment which uses your own blood to stimulate skin cells to rejuvenate the skin and stimulate collagen production, resulting in improved elasticity, tone thickness and skin texture. Collagen fibres are able to remodel themselves meaning wrinkles and folds become smoother and less visible and the natural healing process of your skin is faster.
