Yes, PRP therapy is considered safe since it uses your own blood, minimising the risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed by medical professionals specialising in Aesthetic Medicine who are specifically trained in PRP.

A typical PRP session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes, including the time needed for blood collection, processing, and injections.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during PRP therapy. Numbing cream or local anaesthetic can be applied to minimise any pain during the injections.

Common side effects include mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically subside within a few days. Serious complications are rare.

Typically, an initial series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months.
