Platelet Rich Plasma treatment is fantastic at treating fine lines and wrinkles in the trickier to treat places such as the neck, chest and under-eye area.
The treatment begins with a My Botique medical professional obtaining a vial of the client’s blood, which is then put into a centrifuge machine that separates the blood from plasma. What you are left with is protein-rich plasma aka liquid gold! The client’s own plasma is then injected into areas of concern, creating a smoother more youthful appearance that helps the skin regenerate by using the bodies own natural healing properties.
Match with skin needling for a deeper treatment, also known as a vampire facial.
Platelet Rich Plasma is also used to stimulate hair growth on the scalp, offering a more lush and full head of hair.

Clients will start seeing results within a week of treatment. After 1 or 2 months, clients should see rejuvenated skin that appears younger and feels softer and more supple. Results may remain from 1 to 2 years following treatment.
Downtime for Platelet Rich Plasma treatment varies depending on the area of treatment.
For areas such as the neck, under-eyes and chest, the skin may appear slightly red and blotchy for up to half-an-hour after injections with bruising being common.
Vampire facials can expect a 3 – 5 day period for downtime. Expect the face to be red and swollen for 24hours followed by a light shedding of the skin over the following days.
There is no downtime for hair rejuvenation.
Platelet Rich Plasma is administered by an experienced My Botique Medical Professional after a thorough consultation and script procurement.
