PRP – Collagen Renewal Facial

A Plasma boost for your skin

The collagen facelift is lovingly given its name due to the technique of using the platelet rich plasma in the patient’s own blood to stimulate cell renewal, lifting toning and tightening the skin.

Through using the body’s own resources, the growth factors in the plasma are injected back into the skin to give full facial rejuvenation as they work to replace lost collagen and elastin and repair the cells both beneath and on the surface of the skin. This leaves the skin both radiant and volumised, restoring your youthful look.

This is a highly skilled technique and should only be carried out by a medical professional.

Common questions

Does it hurt?

This treatment is a full facial rejuvenation treatment. Some discomfort may be experienced as it involves a number of injections to the face which could feel a little sensitive. At VIVA Skin Clinics, we take patient comfort very seriously and will do all we can to ensure that any sensitivity is minimised. This may be through the use of numbing cream to help ease any discomfort.
Are there any side effects?

As the content of the injection is taken from your own blood supply, the side effects are minimal. These tend to be slight stinging, tenderness or bruising at the point of application, or in some cases (though rare) some temporary bleeding at the site of the injection.
What result can I expect?

This is an excellent treatment to achieve a subtle yet effective lifted and volumised facial rejuvenation. The collagen face lift is extremely popular given that it is both non invasive and can offer dramatic results. You can expect the surface of your skin to appear replenished, hydrated and smoothed as well as volumised. The lifting effect from the collagen facial will give you a plump and tightened appearance, ironing out fine lines and wrinkles and helping you too look and feel radiant.
Is it safe?

This treatment should only be administered by a medical professional. The PRP itself contains platelets from your own blood supply. Therefore, no foreign substances are being injected into your body which means the risks associated with this treatment are very low. It is considered to be one of the safest facial rejuvenation techniques.

Client reviews

Everything about my experience was wonderful. I suffer from anxiety, so I was extremely anxious beforehand, but Dr Critchley immediately put me at ease with his calming, friendly, and fun demeanour. I noticed a few reviewers saying that they had to wait a while to be seen, but this wasn't the case with me. I had a 3-5 minute wait at most. The procedure itself is very brief and I have absolutely no bruising. Before having treatment it's important to have a realistic expectation of what can be achieved. Dr Critchley was honest with me and said that my under eye circles really weren't that bad, but that we all have some sort of creasing under our eyes, meaning that no amount of filler can completely obliterate ALL traces of under eye circles. However, the fillers have done wonders for my self-esteem, as the improvement to the appearance of my eyes is substantial. Now I can happily go outside without 5 layers of concealer! I definitely wouldn't go anywhere else for my fillers. Thank you Dr Critchley!

Within 5 minutes of meeting Dr. Rupert, I knew he had the answers to what I’ve been searching for! This was my first time ever getting any cosmetic work done, so I was a little nervous, but Dr. Rupert was very reassuring. He was informative in every step throughout the process, from educating me beforehand to what exactly was happening during each injection.I really appreciate his attention to detail to ensure the most natural enhancements. Overall, I had the absolute best experience and am beyond thrilled with my results!

I am not sure about the treatment itself although Dr. Rupert as a person is nice and professional. Had to top up the Botox as did not work and still not good work after the second top up, plus I am having new wrinkles now after the dermal fillers around the mouth. Left side of the face looks different to the right side after dermal fillers. Overall, not impressed. I subsequently heard dermal fillers don't really work to get rid of marionette lines( this is my primary concern) and I can see why now. I also wish all face treatment salons/clinics start using proper day light angle rather than showing me my "before and after" photos taken in a place with no natural light.

Love love love Dr Rupert and what he does, I recommend him to all my friends. People have commented how surprised they are I’ve had Botox/fillers as it looks so natural. He makes you feel so comfortable and at ease and I trust him 100% with my face. I won’t go to anyone else.

I had been considering tear trough fillers for a while because I was very unhappy with the darkness of my under eyes. After doing some research I found the VIVA Skin Clinic and decided to book a consultation. As a newbie to cosmetic enhancements world, I was scared of what to expect and how it would all go but once I met Dr. Rupert Critchley I really felt put at ease and comfortable so I decided to go ahead not only with the tear through filler procedure but also with botox for my gummy smile. Neither of the treatments were painful, just a little unconfortable. All I can say is that Dr. Critchley is amazing and the results for both procedures made me very happy, my confidence has been boosted, I haven't felt this good about myself in a long time. Highly recommended :-)
