What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy?
Platelets are cells which help blood to clot, they contain bioactive proteins which have healing and regenerative qualities.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy takes concentrated forms of the plasma found in your blood and uses it to naturally rejuvenate, heal and enhance the appearance of your skin.
As well as being used to revitalize skin for cosmetic and anti-ageing issues, PRP therapy is being used to heal injuries within the muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments.

The number of PRP therapy treatments that you need will vary according to the condition of your skin. At The Levitas Clinic in Esher, we generally recommend that you have between 2 and 3 courses of treatment. It is also beneficial to keep up treatments either once or twice a year to maintain the effects.
Musculoskeletal PRP therapy
In addition to skin conditions, PRP therapy can also be used to heal injuries to the muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments. If you have a sporting or any type of injury, PRP therapy is an effective and fast way to return to your prime physical fitness.
The process for PRP therapy is not surgical. At The Levitas Clinic in Esher, we simply take a sample of your blood and separate out the highly concentrated form of platelets. This is then used within an injection which is put back into your body to promote the re-generation of soft tissue found in tendons, collagen and cartilage.
PRP therapy and carboxy therapy
Platelet Rich Plasma therapy when used in combination with carboxy therapy have proven results and is worth exploring for optimum skin care.
