Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Glowing, Hydrated, Healthy Skin—Naturally.
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) harnesses the power of your own plasma and growth factors to deliver hydration and restore strength to the skin. PRP is a long established treatment modality used for its healing powers and as a natural regenerative cosmetic procedure it has gained immense popularity due to its safety and efficacy.
At ORA we often enhance this treatment by combining it with microneedling (SkinPen or SecretRF) to allow uniform penetration of the PRP and greater stimulation of collagen.
We also offer the unique option of blending PRP with additional hydrating hyaluronic acid to achieve an immediate boost of moisture and enhanced radiance. This Cellular Matrix blend is particularly useful for softening fine lines in the neck and smile (nasolabial lines).
Understanding PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
PRP treatment begins by drawing a sample of your own blood, similar to a routine blood test. This sample is then placed in a centrifuge, which separates it into its distinct components. We extract the platelet-rich portion for use in treatment. This concentrate is re-injected or microneedled into the skin to stimulate biostimulation.
The skin's response to the injected PRP is the activation of dermal fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. Additionally, it aids in repairing and enhancing the function of other cell types, such as melanocytes, often improving areas of persistent hyperpigmentation. Utilizing the body's own regenerative growth factors, this method avoids the use of artificial chemicals or toxins.
PRP can be performed as a standalone treatment or in combination with other biostimulation therapies, such as microneedling and SecretRF. It can also be enhanced with RegenLab Cellular Matrix, which combines PRP with hyaluronic acid to provide an extra boost of hydration and amplify regenerative results

Harness Your Skin’s Own Capacity for Cellular Renewal
Collagen is a vital protein that provides structure and support to the skin, hair, and connective tissues throughout the body. However, as we age, collagen production gradually declines, leading to visible signs of ageing such as wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. This reduction in collagen synthesis begins as early as our mid-to-late twenties, with an approximate annual decrease of 1% thereafter. The process accelerates significantly post-menopause due to hormonal changes, notably the decline in oestrogen levels, further contributing to collagen depletion.
In addition to natural ageing, environmental factors such as sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle choices like smoking can further accelerate collagen loss, resulting in diminished skin quality and hair density. This accelerated depletion can lead to increased skin dryness, pronounced wrinkles, loss of fullness, sagging, and reduced elasticity.
Incorporating PRP therapy into your skincare regimen offers a natural approach to combating the effects of ageing by harnessing your body's own regenerative capabilities to promote healthier, more youthful-looking skin. Whether as a standalone procedure or in combination with advanced treatments like RegenLab Cellular Matrix, PRP offers a personalised approach to achieving your skincare goals.
More Information
The treatment starts by taking a sample of blood which is then spun and separated in a centrifuge. This is then injected back into the skin using a needle or a cannula (blunt needle).
We often augment the treatment by combining your PRP with hydrating hyaluronic acid for added glow and hydration. The ORA Method is to focus on the canvas as a whole and then to target your main areas of concern for added benefit.
Mild to moderate (numbing can be provided).
There is little, if any, downtime after this procedure, although you may experience some redness, swelling or bruising at the injection site for a few days post treatment.
Improvement of skin texture and tone are generally noticeable within three weeks but full collagen regeneration can take up to three months.
It is recommended to have a series of sessions to obtain optimum results. A course of 3-6 treatments performed every 4-6 weeks is advised with one maintenance treatment every 6 months.
