PRP Facial
A Renew Classic Treatment
A popular facial treatment among celebrities, a PRP Facial (also known as a “Vampire Facial”) is a natural therapy that harnesses the power of your body’s own platelet rich plasma to rejuvenate the skin by:
increasing collagen production
reducing fine lines + wrinkles
increasing moisture retention
improving skin tone + texture
reducing skin laxity
PRP Facials are carried out in our Cheshire Clinic, by medically-trained Medical Aesthetics Nurses. For the treatment they take a small amount of your blood, separate its components in a centrifuge, and push the platelet rich plasma into your areas of concern, but either microneedling, injections or a combination of both.

What to expect with a PRP Facial, at Renew Medical Aesthetics, Cheshire
Consultation
During your free consultation, our Aesthetics Nurse will determine if a PRP Facial is an appropriate treatment for your skin concerns. They will also review your medical history, as patients with certain blood clotting conditions, or who are on certain medication may not be suitable for this treatment.
Prep
Numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area for about 30 minutes, before being removed. This is effective stuff! During this time, your blood will be drawn and spun in the centrifuge to separate out the platelet rich plasma.
Treatment
Depending upon your particular needs and treatment area, the Nurse will either inject the PRP into your skin using a sterile, medical needle, or combine it with micro-needling where it will be used in place of a serum. The Nurse may also combine both of these methods.
Aftercare for a PRP Facial
After treatment, you may experience redness, swelling or bruising, these typically subside within a few days, varying between individuals. Most patients are confident in returning to everyday tasks such as work the next day.
Patients are advised on full aftercare protocol at their appointment.
