Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), known as "The Vampire Facial" popularised by Kim Kardashian, involves extracting a small amount of blood from the patient's arm. The blood is then separated in a centrifuge to isolate the golden-coloured platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells. This nutrient-rich plasma is reinjected into the skin on the face, neck, or hands to stimulate collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance skin clarity. It can also be used to improve dark circles and hollowness in the delicate eye area.

The procedure, which takes about 20 minutes, is appealing for its natural approach, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions. Numbing cream is applied, blood is extracted and reinjected after spinning, and mild swelling and bruising may occur post-treatment. Patients are advised not to apply makeup on the day of the procedure to prevent contamination of the injection sites, and makeup can be used the following day.

There may be swelling and redness lasting 2-3 hours after the filler injection, with a 50% risk of bruising that can last up to a week if it occurs. To reduce bruising risk, patients are recommended to take arnica tablets and avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatories, and fish oil for five days prior to the treatment. PRP works well in conjunction with Botox and lasers and is a key treatment for facial rejuvenation.

Ideal candidates for PRP treatment are individuals aged 30-80 with ageing concerns who seek to boost collagen and elastin production, address fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin radiance in a natural manner. The treatment uses the patient's own blood, avoiding artificial fillers or botulinum toxin injections, making it a highly natural and low-risk option for rejuvenation.
