What is PRP and How Does It Work?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a natural regenerative treatment that uses your own blood’s healing components to rejuvenate the skin and stimulate hair growth. A small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the skin or scalp, where it stimulates collagen, improves texture, and enhances circulation, leading to smoother, firmer skin and stronger, healthier hair.

Minimally invasive and naturally rejuvenating, PRP harnesses your body’s own biology to restore vitality and enhance skin health.

Polynucleotides vs Skin Boosters: What’s the Difference?

Both polynucleotides and skin boosters are injectable treatments designed to improve skin quality, but they work in different ways.

Skin boosters (such as Profhilo® or Lumi Eyes) use pure hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and plump the skin, improving elasticity and giving an instant glow. They act as a moisturiser from within, perfect for dryness, dullness, and fine lines.

Polynucleotides, on the other hand, are biostimulators derived from DNA fragments that repair and regenerate skin at a cellular level. They help rebuild collagen and elastin, reduce inflammation, and improve texture and firmness over time.

What Are Exosomes used for?

Exosomes are one of the newest innovations in regenerative aesthetics; tiny, cell-signalling particles that help the skin repair, renew, and restore itself. When injected, they deliver powerful growth factors that boost collagen, improve elasticity, and enhance overall skin and scalp health.

Often used alongside treatments like micro-needling or PRP, exosomes accelerate healing and leave the skin looking smoother, firmer, and more radiant.

Mesotherapy Explained

Mesotherapy is a non-surgical rejuvenation treatment that delivers a customised blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid directly into the skin through a series of microinjections.

This technique deeply nourishes and revitalises the skin, improving hydration, texture, and elasticity while stimulating collagen production. It can also be used on the scalp to boost circulation and encourage healthier hair growth, offering a refreshed, radiant, and naturally revitalised appearance.

How long do Anti-Wrinkle injections last?

Results from Botox® or Bocouture® anti-wrinkle injections typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on individual muscle activity, metabolism, and treatment area. With regular maintenance, many clients notice that results can last longer over time as the muscles gradually relax. All treatments at Dr V & K Aesthetics are tailored to achieve natural, long-lasting results that preserve your facial expressions while softening fine lines.
