Question 4

What is PRP / PRF therapy and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) are 100% natural, autologous medical therapies derived from a small sample of your own blood. Using the medical-grade Arthrex Double Syringe System, we isolate concentrated growth factors, platelets, and bioactive proteins.
          When delivered into the skin or scalp, PRP/PRF stimulates your dermal cells to plump, hydrate, and nourish tissue from within, driving new collagen synthesis, cell renewal, and follicle activation.

Question 5

Is PRP therapy and a "Vampire Facial" the same thing?

Accepted Answer

They are closely related but differ in delivery technique:
          
            Vampire Facial: Combines clinical micro-needling with topical PRP infusion across micro-channels created on the full face.
            PRP / PRF Injections: Involves precise micro-injections directly into targeted dermal layers to correct specific volume loss (e.g. under-eye hollows, dark circles, or mouth lines) or scalp hair thinning.
            Mesotherapy: Blends PRP with a hyaluronic acid & nutrient vitamin cocktail needled into the upper skin layer.

Question 6

What skin and hair concerns can you treat with PRP therapy?

Accepted Answer

PRP & PRF therapy effectively addresses a broad range of aesthetic and regenerative concerns:
          
            Increasing collagen synthesis & new cell growth
            Enhancing skin texture, firmness & elasticity
            Softening fine lines and wrinkles
            Correcting delicate volume loss & dark circles under the eyes
            Reducing cellular inflammation & soothing skin irritation
            Softening acne scars, surgical marks & stretch marks
            Promoting an even skin tone, clarity & natural radiance
            Reactivating dormant hair follicles for scalp hair growth

Question 7

What should I expect during a PRP / PRF treatment session?

Accepted Answer

Your appointment begins with an unhurried 1-on-1 consultation with Registered Nurse Divya Thomas. A small blood sample is collected using an ultra-fine butterfly needle. While your sample is spun in the Arthrex system, medical topical numbing cream is applied for maximum comfort.
          The isolated PRP/PRF is then precisely administered via microneedling or targeted micro-injections. Every facial treatment finishes with complimentary LED Light Therapy as standard to calm redness and accelerate healing.

Question 8

Do I need to book a consultation before a PRP therapy appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Registered Nurse Divya Thomas conducts a thorough initial diagnostic review to evaluate your skin or scalp health, discuss your medical history, outline realistic outcomes, and design a customized treatment plan tailored to your goals.

Question 9

How do I prepare for my PRP therapy appointment?

Accepted Answer

To optimize platelet quality and treatment comfort:
          
            Hydration: Drink plenty of water for 24 to 48 hours prior to your visit.
            Medications: Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (Ibuprofen/Nurofen/Aspirin) for 3 to 7 days prior if medically approved by your GP.
            Lifestyle: Avoid alcohol and heavy exercise for 24 hours beforehand. Discontinue active topicals (retinoids, AHAs/BHAs) for 3 days.

Question 10

What is the recovery time for a PRP treatment?

Accepted Answer

Recovery is minimal and manageable. Scalp procedures involve mild tightness for 12 to 24 hours. Facial procedures involve mild pinkness (similar to a light sunburn) for 1 to 3 days. Most clients return to regular work and daily routines the following morning.

Question 11

What is the recommended post-treatment care for PRP Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Keep treated skin clean and avoid touching the area for 6 hours. Avoid strenuous workouts, saunas, hot showers, and swimming pools for 24 to 48 hours. Apply SPF 50+ daily and use gentle, non-active hydrating skincare provided in your aftercare guide.

Question 12

When will I see results from my PRP treatment?

Accepted Answer

Initial hydration and skin plumping become visible within 2 to 3 weeks. Peak collagen synthesis, texture refinement, and hair density improvements develop progressively over 6 to 12 weeks as cellular renewal takes place.

Question 13

How much does PRP therapy cost?

Accepted Answer

PRP Hair and PRF Skin treatments start from $260 per individual session. Structured 3-session packages are available with a $150 package savings.

Question 14

How many PRP treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

We typically recommend an initial loading series of 6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by a single maintenance session every 6 to 12 months.

Question 15

How long does PRP therapy last?

Accepted Answer

Results generally last 12 to 18 months following a completed initial loading series. Annual booster appointments help sustain ongoing collagen renewal and hair density.

Question 16

Are there any side effects of PRP treatments?

Accepted Answer

Because PRP is 100% autologous derived from your own blood, there is zero risk of allergic rejection or synthetic reaction. Mild temporary effects include light redness, minor localized swelling, pinpoint bruising, or mild tenderness at injection sites that resolve within 1 to 3 days.

Question 17

Who is not suitable for PRP treatment?

Accepted Answer

PRP is contraindicated for individuals with active skin/scalp infections, severe platelet or blood disorders, systemic illness, active cancer treatments, blood-thinning therapy, or pregnancy/breastfeeding.
          Important Note: Results from PRP therapy vary between individuals. This information is general in nature and does not guarantee any specific outcome. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is required to assess suitability and develop a personalized plan.

Question 18

How do I prepare my skin before a Skin Needling or Chemical Peel session?

Accepted Answer

Proper pre-conditioning optimizes treatment safety and prevents post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH):
          
            14 Days Prior: Avoid direct sun exposure, solariums, spray tans, and cosmetic injectable procedures in the treatment area.
            3 to 5 Days Prior: Discontinue active topicals, including prescription retinoids (Tretinoin/Retin-A), AHA/BHA exfoliating acids, benzoyl peroxide, and physical scrubs.
            Day of Appointment: Arrive with clean skin free of heavy makeup, and ensure you are well hydrated.

Question 19

What is the recovery time for Skin Needling and Chemical Peels?

Accepted Answer

Recovery depends on the depth of micro-injury or chemical formulation selected for your skin type:
          
            Clinical Skin Needling: Expect 1 to 3 days of mild redness and temporary dryness. Most clients return to work the following day with mineral makeup.
            Chemical Peels: Light superficial peels involve 1 to 3 days of subtle flaking. Medium-depth peels involve 5 to 7 days of visible epidermal shedding. Customized aftercare balm and strict SPF 50+ guidance are provided.

Question 20

How should I prepare before a Brow, Lip, or Eyeliner Tattoo appointment?

Accepted Answer

To minimize vascular sensitivity and ensure optimal pigment retention during cosmetic tattooing:
          
            24 to 48 Hours Prior: Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning supplements (such as Fish Oil, Vitamin E, and Aspirin unless prescribed by a medical doctor).
            2 Weeks Prior: Avoid cosmetic injectable procedures around the brow or forehead area.
            4 Weeks Prior (Lip Blush): Avoid lip dermal fillers. If you have a history of cold sores, consult your pharmacist for preventative anti-viral medication prior to your lip session.

Question 21

What is the downtime and healing process for cosmetic tattooing?

Accepted Answer

Cosmetic tattooing undergoes a natural 4-phase healing process spanning 5 to 10 days total:
          
            Days 1–3 (Intensity Phase): Pigment appears approximately 20–30% darker and bolder than the final healed color.
            Days 4–7 (Shedding Phase): Light flaking of epidermal skin occurs. It is critical not to pick or scratch scabs to prevent pigment loss.
            Days 8–14 (Softening Phase): Color appears lighter as fresh skin covers the pigment layer.
            Week 4–6 (Healed Result): The final, delicate tone blooms to its true natural finish ready for your complimentary perfection touch-up.

Question 22

Do you offer treatment packages or flexible payment options?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because regenerative treatments yield best clinical outcomes when performed in a series, Beauty Mark offers structured 3-session packages for PRP Hair, PRF Skin, and Skin Needling at a discounted package rate.
