Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment: Benefits, Process & Local Results

Kate Mullane • July 18, 2025

What is PRP and How Does it Work?

Understanding Platelet-Rich Plasma

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to stimulate natural healing and rejuvenation. By isolating platelets rich in growth factors, PRP encourages your skin and hair follicles to regenerate and repair.


How PRP Stimulates Natural Healing and Collagen Production

When injected into targeted areas, PRP activates your body’s healing response, promoting collagen production and tissue regeneration. This process improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and can stimulate hair growth.


Common Uses: Skin Rejuvenation, Hair Restoration, and More

PRP is widely used for facial rejuvenation, reducing wrinkles, improving skin tone, treating acne scars, and addressing hair thinning or loss. It offers a natural, non-surgical option for clients seeking subtle but effective improvements.



Benefits of PRP Treatment for Barry, Sully, Penarth, and the Vale of Glamorgan

Natural, Non-Surgical Approach

PRP uses your body’s own healing power, making it a safe and minimally invasive alternative to surgery or synthetic fillers.


Safe and Minimally Invasive

Since PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is very low. Treatments are performed under strict hygiene standards at Heidi Rose clinic, serving clients from Barry, Sully, Penarth, Llantwit Major, Rhoose, and the wider Vale of Glamorgan.


Long-Lasting Improvements in Skin Texture and Hair Growth

Results develop gradually over weeks to months, with improvements in skin firmness, elasticity, and hair density that can last up to a year or more with proper maintenance.



The PRP Treatment Process at Heidi Rose

Initial Consultation and Suitability Assessment

Your PRP journey begins with a personalised consultation to discuss your goals, medical history, and suitability for treatment.


Blood Collection and Platelet Concentration

A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors.


Injection Procedure and Target Areas

The PRP is then carefully injected into the treatment areas, such as the face, scalp, or neck, using fine needles to stimulate regeneration.


Number of Sessions and Expected Timeline for Results

Most clients benefit from 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Visible improvements typically appear within 4 to 8 weeks after treatment.


Aftercare and Managing Side Effects

Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur but usually resolves quickly. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.



Who is a Good Candidate for PRP?

Ideal Skin and Hair Concerns

PRP is suitable for adults experiencing early signs of aging, uneven skin texture, acne scarring, or hair thinning. It is ideal for those seeking natural rejuvenation without synthetic substances.


Contraindications and Safety Considerations

PRP is not recommended for individuals with blood disorders, active infections, or certain medical conditions. Your practitioner will review your health history during consultation.



PRP vs Other Treatments Available in the Vale of Glamorgan

PRP vs Dermal Fillers and Botox

While fillers and Botox provide immediate results by adding volume or relaxing muscles, PRP works gradually to improve skin quality and stimulate natural regeneration.


PRP vs Microneedling and Laser Treatments

PRP is often combined with microneedling or laser therapy to enhance collagen production and healing, offering synergistic benefits.


Combining PRP with Other Therapies

At Heidi Rose, we tailor treatment plans that may include PRP alongside other modalities for comprehensive skin and hair rejuvenation.
