About PRP Consultations
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a procedure that uses components from your own blood. It carries risks, and results vary and cannot be guaranteed. Your practitioner, Dr Sana Pirzada (MED0001970963, registered medical practitioner with general registration), will assess your skin and explain what is appropriate at your consultation.
What to Expect at Consultation
How PRP Works
PRP is prepared from a sample of your own blood. Your practitioner will explain the procedure, the risks and what to expect before you decide.
Skin Concerns You Can Discuss
Discuss skin texture and tone concerns with your practitioner at a consultation. Results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
Lines and Texture Concerns
Discuss concerns about lines and skin texture with your practitioner. Other options can also be discussed at consultation, subject to suitability.
Skin Marks and Sun-Exposed Skin
Discuss concerns about skin marks and sun-exposed skin at a consultation. Results vary and are subject to assessment.
Combination Procedures
PRP is sometimes discussed alongside microneedling. Our Microneedling Treatment page has more information. Your practitioner will explain whether a combination is appropriate and any added risks.
Key Considerations
PRP involves taking a blood sample and carries risks, including bruising, pain, infection and reactions at the treatment site. Suitability is determined at consultation, and individual responses vary.
How Your Consultation Works
PRP is prepared by centrifuging a blood sample to separate platelet-rich plasma. Your practitioner will explain the procedure, how many sessions may be recommended after assessment, the risks, the recovery and what to expect. Results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
