Heal & Restore

Platelet Rich Plasma

At Ostara Medical Aesthetics, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) therapy—advanced treatments that use your body’s own healing power to rejuvenate your skin. By isolating the platelet-rich plasma from your blood, PRP/PRFM stimulates collagen production, improves elasticity, and delivers a wide range of anti-aging benefits.

This innovative approach effectively reduces dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines while enhancing skin tone and texture, resulting in smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin with a natural glow.

PRP therapy is a versatile, natural solution for various aesthetic concerns, including improving skin texture, reducing scars, stimulating hair growth, and accelerating healing. Our expert team is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals with personalized care and precision.

Frequently Asked Questions

PRP is derived from a small sample of your blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets rich in growth factors. These growth factors play a vital role in tissue repair, cell regeneration, and collagen production, making PRP an effective, natural solution for aesthetic and wellness goals.

PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix) follows the same process as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), with one key difference: the blood sample is placed into tubes containing calcium chloride. This triggers fibrin polymerization, transforming the PRP into a fibrin matrix—a thicker, more viscous solution that enhances its regenerative properties.

  • Avoid anti-inflammatory medications and blood thinners for 24-48 hours before your treatment.
  • Stay hydrated and eat a healthy meal before your appointment.
  • Arrive at the clinic with a clean face, free of makeup and skincare products.

During the procedure:

  • A small amount of blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP.
  • The PRP is carefully applied or injected into targeted areas, depending on the treatment.
  • The entire process typically takes 45-60 minutes with minimal discomfort.
  • Facial Rejuvenation : PRP improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
  • Hair Restoration: PRP stimulates dormant hair follicles, promoting hair growth and improving thickness in areas affected by thinning or hair loss.
  • Scar and Stretch Mark Reduction: PRP enhances healing and diminishes the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
  • Under-eye treatment: PRP is an excellent treatment for dark circles and hollows under the eyes. It can improve skin tone, texture, and volume, resulting in a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
  • Skin Brightening: Improves overall skin luminosity and radiance for a youthful glow.

Absolutely! PRP is often used to enhance results with:

  • Microneedling (vampire facial), where PRP is applied after microneedling to penetrate deeper into the skin for amplified collagen production. 
  • Laser treatments, where PRP speeds up healing and enhances results by reducing redness and improving tissue repair
  • Dermal fillers, where it provides both immediate volume and long- term collagen stimulation

PRP therapy is a safe procedure with minimal side effects, as it uses your own blood. Common side effects include mild redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site, which typically subside within a few days. It is important to follow post-treatment instructions and contact our clinic if you experience any unusual symptoms.

Results from PRP treatments can take several weeks, as the growth factors stimulate collagen production and cell turnover. The effects of PRP/PRFM therapy are long-lasting, providing natural rejuvenation and improvement in skin and hair quality.

  • Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours.
  • Refrain from strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 24-48 hours after treatment.
  • Avoid anti-inflammatory medications for at least 48 hours to allow the PRP to work effectively.
  • Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support the healing process.
  • Apply a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen to protect the treated area.
