What is ENHANCED Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy?

At The PRP Lab, we're proud to introduce the new, Enhanced PRP—an innovative advancement in regenerative aesthetics powered by the revolutionary Meta Cell Technology (MCT). This treatment significantly elevates traditional PRP therapy by maximising the regenerative potential of your body's own plasma and exosomes.

By applying controlled light and thermal energy to your PRP, we dramatically increase the production and release of essential growth factors, ATP, and autologous exosomes, creating a profoundly powerful regenerative effect.

Using this innovative system, we are able to obtain Exosomes from your own PRP - the most natural and safest form of Exosomes available.

Why is Enhanced PRP better than regular PRP?

  • Greater Growth Factor Concentration: Photothermal stimulation triples growth factor release, ensuring superior and sustained regenerative outcomes.

  • Autologous Exosome Production: Boosts your body's natural exosome production, essential for optimal cellular communication and regeneration.

  • Enhanced ATP Levels: MCT doubles cellular energy (ATP), enhancing tissue rejuvenation and repair.

  • Reduced Inflammation and Discomfort: Enhanced PRP is specifically designed to minimise inflammatory responses, enhancing comfort during and after treatment.

  • Superior Injection Comfort: Plasma processed via MCT is less dense, allowing smoother, more comfortable injections.

Enhanced PRP at a glance

What areas can be treated with PRP?

FACE

Whether you want to address crow’s feet, frown lines or loose skin, Enhance PRP Therapy can be an effective treatment to restore your skin’s youthful appearance. By encouraging the natural collagen production, this innovative facial rejuvenation treatment can help to provide numerous anti-ageing benefits, helping your skin to look smoother and more plumped.

BODY

Using Enhanced PRP, we can treat scars on the body. By stimulating and accelerating the body's natural healing process, the skin is rejuvenated and renewed with PRP Therapy.   

SCALP

Enhanced PRP + Exosome therapy can be used to treat one of the most frustrating and common concerns for both men and women, hair loss. The treatment involves harvesting the natural growth factors in the blood and reintroducing them to feed the hair follicle. This great, minimally invasive procedure promotes healthy hair growth, to help give you fuller and thicker hair.

What are Exosomes?

Exosomes are nature's own communication system, tiny vesicles that carry messages between cells to promote repair and regeneration. Extracted from your own PRP, these powerful messengers are loaded with growth factors, proteins, and RNA that work together to stimulate your skin's natural healing processes. Our advanced Exosomes treatments stimulate collagen synthesis, reducing fine lines and wrinkles while promoting firmness and elasticity for a youthful complexion. By regulating pigment production, exosomes fade dark spots and blemishes, resulting in a more even skin tone. Our therapy refines skin texture, leaving it soft, supple, and smooth, while unlocking your skin's natural luminosity for a radiant, healthy glow that emanates from within.

How is Enhanced PRP obtained using Meta Cell Technology?

MCT utilises a combination of light and temperature to stimulate the cells within your PRP:

  • Photothermal Stimulation: This involves exposing your PRP to specific wavelengths of light and controlled temperatures. This process activates the cells, enhancing their ability to release growth factors and exosomes—tiny particles that facilitate cell communication and healing.

  • Enhanced Energy Production: The stimulation boosts the energy levels (ATP) within your cells, improving their functionality and accelerating the healing process.

Low Temperature (4°C): Enhancing PRP

  • Purpose: At 4°C, platelets are primed to release growth factors such as VEGF, EGF, and bFGF.

  • Benefits:

    • Increased growth factor release.

    • Reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines.

    • Less dense plasma, leading to more comfortable injections.

Physiological Temperature (37°C): Stimulating Exosome Release

  • Purpose: Maintaining samples at 37°C promotes the release of exosomes, which are vital for cell communication and tissue regeneration.

  • Benefits:

    • Enhanced exosome production.

    • Improved regenerative potential of treatments

 
 

Enhanced PRP FAQ’s

Why is Enhanced PRP better than regular PRP?

Enhanced PRP significantly improves traditional PRP by boosting growth factor release, enhancing exosome production, and reducing inflammation and discomfort, resulting in faster healing and improved regeneration. It uses controlled temperature and specific wavelengths of light to achieve more consistent and powerful cell activation, providing predictable and superior results compared to regular PRP.

Does it hurt?
Face: Minimal pain, if needed topical anaesthetic cream can be used which will numb the face.

Scalp: Mild / Moderate pain. Scalp injections can be painful but we use certain tools to make the treatment as comfortable as we can for you. Each individuals pain threshold will be different so the level of pain experienced will vary.

How many treatments and how often is this therapy needed?
While responses to treatment vary, most people will require 2-3 sessions. Each set of treatments are spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart. There is no limit to the number of treatments you can have. Your practitioner will determine your treatment protocol according to your skin/scalp condition.

What results can I expect from PRP treatments?
Improvement of skin texture and tone is noticeable within 2-3 weeks. Full collagen regeneration takes up to 3 months. Reduction in hair loss is noticeable within 8 weeks. In most cases, hair re-growth is seen 3-6 months after the last treatment. Results will vary from person to person - during the consultation, the practitioner will examine your area of concern and taking into account your medical history and expected results for your case will be discussed thoroughly.

Are there possible side effects of PRP facial rejuvenation?
Mild / Moderate swelling and redness for 12-48 hours. Mild bruising may also occur. How long the side effects last will vary from person to person - in some cases, side may take longer to subside.

How long do results last?
Treatment results vary, however, in most patients the results last up to 24 months after a completing a course of 3 treatments. Touch-up treatments (every 3-6 months) will maintain the results.
