PRP

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, also known as the ‘Vampire Facelift’, works on the basis that the body’s own natural healing powers may slow and even reverse the ageing process – it’s a revolutionary repair system that places growth factors in the exact location where we want the skin to repair and rejuvenate itself.

Platelets contain a high content of “growth factors” – proteins that help to heal injured tissue or damaged skin. Upon re-injection the platelets release their growth factors which trigger surrounding cells to proliferate, in turn stimulating repair, increasing volume and rejuvenating the skin.

His has particular interest in teaching (medical education), medical regulation, plastic/cosmetic surgery (incl. injectables) and skin cancer.
