HOW PRP FACIAL REJUVENATION WORKS

The Science Behind Regenerative Aesthetics

Your blood contains platelets—specialized cells responsible for healing and tissue repair throughout your body. When concentrated through centrifugation, platelet-rich plasma contains 3-5 times more growth factors than normal blood, creating a powerful regenerative treatment.

Your PRP Facial Rejuvenation Treatment in Cardiff:

1. Blood Draw - Small blood sample taken (approximately 11ml or 22ml depending on treatment area)

2. Centrifugation - Blood processed in medical-grade centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets and growth factors

3. PRP Extraction - Platelet-rich plasma isolated, containing concentrated growth factors, proteins, and healing molecules

4. Microneedling Application - PRP applied to skin using advanced microneedling technique, creating micro-channels that allow deep penetration while simultaneously triggering collagen induction

5. Regeneration Process - Growth factors activate fibroblasts, stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, accelerate cellular turnover, and promote tissue regeneration

Treatment takes 30-60 minutes. Most clients describe the sensation as tolerable with topical numbing cream applied beforehand.

WHAT RESULTS CAN YOU EXPECT FROM PRP IN CARDIFF?

Timeline and Realistic Outcomes

PRP facial rejuvenation works progressively as your body's natural regeneration processes respond to concentrated growth factors.

Initial Results: Skin may appear brighter and more radiant within 2-3 weeks as cellular turnover accelerates

Progressive Improvement: Collagen production increases over 4-8 weeks, with visible improvements in texture, tone, and fine lines

Full Results: Optimal outcomes appear 6-12 weeks following final session as new collagen matures and tissue regeneration continues

Results Duration: Benefits last 12-18 months with proper skincare maintenance. Annual touch-ups help sustain long-term improvements.

Treatment Course: For optimal regeneration, we recommend 3 PRP sessions spaced one month apart. Single maintenance sessions thereafter once or twice yearly help preserve results.

PRP VS VAMPIRE FACIAL - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

The terms are often used interchangeably, though "Vampire Facial" is an outdated marketing term that only involves microneedling and rubbing plasma over the skin—not the more effective injection technique.

A genuine PRP Regenerative Facial involves injecting concentrated platelets precisely into treatment areas using microneedling or direct injection, ensuring growth factors reach deeper skin layers to achieve visible, lasting results. This is true regenerative medicine, not just topical application.

At Sebastian Rose Cardiff, we use advanced medical-grade PRP preparation that ensures high platelet concentration and purity—delivering consistent, reliable outcomes with minimal discomfort.

​

IS PRP REGENERATIVE FACIAL RIGHT FOR YOU?

Ideal Candidates

PRP works best for individuals seeking natural skin rejuvenation without synthetic fillers or invasive procedures. You're an ideal candidate if you:

• Want to address early to moderate aging signs

• Prefer natural, regenerative treatments over synthetic materials

• Seek gradual, subtle improvements rather than dramatic transformation

• Have realistic expectations about progressive results

• Are committed to a treatment course (typically 3 sessions)

• Want to improve overall skin quality and texture

• Are looking for long-term skin health benefits

• Cannot use certain skincare acids or prefer non-chemical options

Who Should Avoid PRP

PRP is not recommended for patients with:

• Active infections or skin conditions

• Blood disorders or platelet dysfunction

• Critical thrombocytopenia

• Cancer (especially hematological)

• Anticoagulant therapy

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding

• Unrealistic expectations

 

HOW DOES PRP WORK? THE REGENERATIVE SCIENCE

PRP mirrors your body's own healing response. By injecting concentrated platelets into the skin, we trigger the same regenerative process that repairs wounds—encouraging new cell growth, better circulation, and tissue renewal.

Clinical studies show PRP contains hundreds of bioactive proteins and growth factors, including PDGF, VEGF, FGF, IGF, and EGF, which:

• Activate fibroblasts to synthesize collagen and elastin

• Stimulate angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) for improved circulation

• Accelerate cellular proliferation and differentiation

• Enhance hyaluronic acid production for hydration

• Reduce inflammation and promote immune modulation

• Thicken the dermis and improve skin architecture

• Protect against UV-induced damage

• Regenerate gene expression for anti-aging benefits

 

IS ALL PRP THE SAME?

Advanced Cardiff PRP System

Not all PRP is created equal. The centrifuge system used and clinician expertise are critical to achieving effective results, due to the yield of platlelet rich plasma. IF someone is offering the treatment for £50, we guarantee you this is a cheap and useless centrifuge, that might throw your blood around in a machine and 'look fancy', but it won't actually yield a sufficient yield of high quality plasma to do much of anything whatsoever...

​

At Sebastian Rose Medical Aesthetics Cardiff, we use an advanced PRP centrifuge system that ensures:

• High platelet concentration and purity

• Optimal growth factor preservation

• Consistent, reliable preparation

• Medical-grade sterility

• Minimal discomfort

We offer 11ml and 22ml PRP tubes to suit smaller and larger treatment areas, including the face, neck, scalp, and décolletage.

 

HOW MANY PRP SESSIONS DO I NEED?

Recommended Treatment Protocol

For First-Time Patients: We recommend a course of 3 PRP sessions spaced one month apart for optimal regeneration. This allows sufficient time for collagen synthesis and cellular renewal between treatments.

Single Maintenance Sessions: After completing your initial course, single maintenance treatments once or twice yearly help sustain results and continue long-term skin health improvements.

Treatment Areas: We offer 11ml or 22ml PRP tubes to suit smaller and larger treatment areas, including the face, neck, scalp, and neck.

 

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

PRP Results Timeline

PRP is not an instant treatment—it works progressively as your body responds to regenerative signals.

• Immediate: Skin may appear slightly pink; some mild swelling (resolves quickly)

• 2-3 Weeks: Brighter, more radiant complexion as cellular turnover increases

• 4-8 Weeks: Visible improvement in skin texture, tone, fine lines as collagen develops

• 2-3 Months: Optimal results appear after final session; new collagen matures

• 6-12 Months: Continued improvement; results last 12-18 months

For hair restoration, improvement usually begins around two months post-treatment, continuing for several months.

​

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT?

Post-Treatment Care

PRP is a safe, low-downtime treatment. You may experience mild redness or slight swelling for 12-24 hours. Temporary swelling or bruising can occur, quickly resolving.

Aftercare:

• Avoid makeup for 12-24 hours ("skinties" fade 12-24 hours)

• Avoid strenuous exercise or heat (saunas, hot baths) for 24 hours

• Keep skin clean; avoid touching treatment area

• Use gentle, hydrating skincare; avoid active ingredients (retinol, acids) for 48-72 hours

• Apply SPF daily

• Most clients return to normal activities the next day

 

IS PRP SAFE?

Proven Safety Profile

Yes—PRP is autologous, meaning it comes entirely from your own blood, so there's no risk of allergy or rejection. Side effects are minimal and temporary, such as mild redness, swelling, or tenderness.

Serious complications are extremely rare and temporary, such as mild redness or swelling. The biggest risk comes from improper blood handling; we maintain strict medical sterility protocols throughout the entire process.

PRP has been extensively used in orthopedic surgery, sports medicine, wound care, and dermatology with excellent safety records.
