It starts with 10–20 ml of you.
A certified phlebotomist takes a small sample from your arm, about the same as a routine blood test. Nothing is added from outside your body.
The neck and chest show age and sun early, and they're often forgotten in a skincare routine. Double PRP uses four tubes of your plasma so there's enough to treat larger areas properly.
Rated 5 stars by 100 Dublin clientsThe neck and décolletage cover a bigger area than the face, and the skin there is thinner. Double PRP prepares four tubes of your plasma, so the whole area gets treated, not just the worst of it.
Like the Plasma Glow Facial, it works by supporting new collagen in the skin, so the change builds over the weeks after each session. It finishes with red light therapy.
Double PRP can also cover the face and neck, or face and hair, in one longer visit. For a smaller area of the neck, a single-tube Plasma Glow Facial may be enough. Louise will advise at your consultation.

The tube goes into a centrifuge. Heavy red cells sink to the bottom, and the golden plasma rises to the top, with the platelets gathered just above the red layer.

We draw off the platelet-rich layer of the plasma. This is the PRP: your own plasma, holding far more platelets than the blood it came from.
Platelets carry growth factors, the proteins your body uses to repair itself after a scrape or a cut. When the PRP goes back into your skin or scalp, they release them.
Growth factors dock onto receptors on nearby cells and switch on repair work, including collagen production in the skin and activity around the hair follicle.
In the skin, fibroblasts lay down fresh collagen, so texture and fine lines can improve gradually over the following weeks.
Every treatment now ends with free red light therapy. Red and near-infrared light passes into the skin and scalp, where it's absorbed by the mitochondria: the parts of each cell that make its energy.
We use it to calm the skin after treatment, support circulation and help along the renewal your PRP has started. It's warm and painless, and you just lie back.

Double PRP uses four tubes of your plasma, so there's enough to treat larger areas like the neck and décolletage, or the face and hair together. It takes up to two hours.
Most clients have a course of 3. Louise will recommend yours at your consultation.
Yes. That's one of the most common reasons clients book Double PRP.
You may feel some mild stinging during the injections. For face, under-eye and neck treatments we use numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Hair treatments are done without it. Afterwards you may have some redness, swelling or bruising, which usually settles within a few days.
PRP is made from your own blood, so there's very little risk of an allergic reaction. It isn't right for everyone, though, which is why we ask some health questions first. If you're pregnant, have a blood disorder or are having cancer treatment, we won't treat you.
Yes, if you're new to us. The consultation costs €50 and takes about an hour. Louise checks PRP is right for you and builds your plan, and if you go ahead, the €50 comes off your first treatment.
