What is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and how does it work?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma, extracted from their blood, which is then injected into targeted areas. The plasma is rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen production, promote tissue regeneration, improve skin texture, and restore a youthful appearance naturally.

What skin concerns can PRP treat?

PRP is commonly used to improve fine lines and wrinkles, reduce scars, enhance skin texture and tone, and promote natural rejuvenation. It can also be used for hair restoration and to treat areas of mild skin laxity.

PRP is considered a safe, minimally invasive procedure because it uses the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or complications. Treatments at Venom & Velvet are performed by trained nurse injectors, ensuring safety, comfort, and optimal results.

What should I expect during and after a PRP session?

During a PRP session, blood is drawn, processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma, and injected into targeted areas. Most clients experience only mild redness, swelling, or discomfort. There is minimal downtime, and results appear gradually as collagen production increases over several weeks.

How many PRP sessions are recommended?

The number of PRP sessions depends on individual skin concerns and desired results. Many clients benefit from a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart to maximize collagen stimulation and long-term rejuvenation. A consultation at Venom & Velvet helps determine the best personalized plan.
