PRP Treatments in Wellingborough
A personalised treatment using a concentrated component of your own blood to support skin rejuvenation and overall skin quality.
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It is an autologous treatment that uses a concentrated component of your own blood as part of a personalised treatment approach.
At MP Beauty & Laser, PRP treatment is tailored to your skin, concerns and individual goals. Following a consultation and suitability assessment, PRP may be considered for skin rejuvenation, visible signs of skin ageing and certain types of hair thinning or hair loss.

What Is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma.
During the treatment, a small sample of your own blood is taken and processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
The resulting plasma is then used as part of the selected treatment protocol.
Because PRP uses a component of your own blood, it is considered an autologous treatment.
Your suitability for PRP will be assessed during your consultation.
How Does PRP Work?
PRP contains a concentrated number of platelets and other components derived from your own blood.
Once prepared, the PRP is used according to the selected treatment protocol and treatment area.
