PRP – Collagen Renewal Facial
A Plasma boost for your skin
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 trigger collagen growth, 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.
