PRP Facials by Absolute Aesthetics
Enhance the tone and texture of your skin and reduce the early visible signs of aging.
PRP is often dubbed the “vampire facelift”, a procedure where ones blood is taken, spun and then vital components are re-injected into the skin. Rather than lifting the face, PRP provides a skin rejuvenation which is 100% natural. No synthetic products are injected.
Our Work Process
Nurse Kerry will first map out main areas of facial concern, targeting injections in the selected area.
And the topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the face and arm.
Small portion of blood is drawn from the patient’s arm.
The removed blood is then spun into a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from the plasma.
The "gold" (platelet rich plasma) aspect of the patient’s blood is then injected back into the face.

Frequently Asked Qestions
Typically, a PRP treatment takes between an hour or two to complete. This depends on if the PRP is administered through injections only, and/or micro-needled into the skin. This timeframe includes an additional 30 minutes for the blood to be drawn and spun in the centrifuge, and topical numbing to be applied.
Some mild discomfort may be felt while the PRP is being reinjected. The sensation typically felt is a burning or tingling sensation. This sensation only lasts a few minutes after the PRP injected. We ensure our patients are comfortable throughout the entire PRP treatment and apply topical numbing cream and ice to aid any discomfort.
Generally, patients notice tightening and a more even tone to their skin in a week or two after PRP injections. These results continue to build for up to 6 months after treatment.
Results from PRP injections can be seen for many years after treatment; However, these results vary due to the individual’s natural variation in quality of Platelet Rich Plasma, as well as their lifestyle. While we cannot stop the aging process, we can slow it down. Results from PRP injections can be extended with proper at home skincare maintenance.
Results can be seen after one treatment, but the exact amount of treatments needed varies from patient to patient. Generally, 2‐3 treatments are advised, but more may be indicated for some individuals.
