Tired-looking skin and early thinning, met with your own biology. PRP Injections use a concentration of your own platelets to support collagen and follicle health, with results that build gradually over several weeks.
PRP Injections use a concentration of the patient’s own platelets, drawn from a small blood sample, to encourage the skin’s natural repair and renewal processes. At L’Atelier Aesthetics, the treatment is offered under the clinical oversight of Dr Duncan Brennand | GMC: 4341662 for patients looking to improve skin quality, address early hair thinning, or support recovery alongside other regenerative treatments, without introducing any synthetic material into the body.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections are a regenerative, autologous treatment: the product used is derived entirely from the patient’s own blood rather than a synthetic filler, biostimulator or skincare ingredient. This distinguishes PRP from dermal fillers, which add volume using hyaluronic acid, and from PRP Microneedling, which delivers the same plasma through micro-channels created in the skin rather than by direct injection. PRP Injections are typically used to target specific areas more precisely, such as under-eye hollows or localised thinning at the hairline.
Because the injected material comes from the patient’s own body, the treatment carries a lower risk of allergic reaction than products containing synthetic or donor-derived ingredients. The exact processing method and PRP system used should be confirmed against L’Atelier’s clinical protocol before this section is finalised.
PRP Injections tend to work best for patients in the earlier stages of skin ageing or hair thinning who want a gradual, natural-looking improvement rather than a dramatic change. They are not a substitute for treatments that add volume, such as dermal fillers, and are not typically recommended for advanced or scarring hair loss, where alternatives such as a specialist hair loss consultation may be more appropriate. Suitability for any of the above is always confirmed at consultation.
As skin ages, cell turnover slows and collagen production gradually declines, which can leave the complexion looking flat or tired even when a patient is otherwise healthy. The growth factors released from injected platelets help stimulate fibroblast activity, the cells responsible for producing new collagen, which supports a gradual return of natural radiance rather than a sudden change.
Early fine lines are largely driven by a decline in the skin’s own collagen and elastin support as production naturally slows with age. PRP works with this process rather than filling the line itself, encouraging the skin to rebuild some of its own structural support over time, which tends to soften the appearance of fine lines gradually across a course of treatment.
The skin under the eyes is thin, and hollowing here is often caused by a combination of gradual volume loss and thinning skin in the tear trough area, which can also make dark circles more visible. Injected into this precise area, PRP can support skin thickness and quality over time, though it is not a substitute for a filler where the primary issue is significant volume loss.
Textural irregularities are often linked to slower surface cell renewal, which can leave skin looking rougher or less even. By supporting collagen remodelling, PRP can contribute to a smoother-feeling, more even surface over successive sessions, working well alongside treatments such as Profhilo or skin boosters that focus on hydration.
Thinning hair, particularly in its earlier stages, is often associated with reduced blood supply and weaker growth signalling to the hair follicles. Injecting PRP directly into the scalp is intended to improve the local environment around the follicle, supporting its natural growth cycle. This tends to work best when thinning is still early and follicles remain active, rather than in areas of established, longstanding hair loss.
Aftercare guidance generally includes avoiding make-up on the treated area for the rest of the day, avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol and blood-thinning medication where possible for 24 hours, and using gentle, fragrance-free skincare while any redness settles.
PRP Injections tend to suit patients in generally good health who are looking for a natural, gradual improvement in skin quality or early hair thinning, and who would prefer to avoid synthetic products. They are not usually recommended for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a blood clotting disorder, are on certain blood-thinning medications, or have an active skin infection in the treatment area. Suitability is always confirmed at consultation. Where PRP Injections are not the right fit, alternatives such as Profhilo or skin boosters (for hydration without a blood draw) or dermal fillers (for volume loss) may be discussed instead.

The P-Shot is a separate, urological application of PRP used by some clinicians for conditions such as Peyronie’s disease. It sits outside L’Atelier’s aesthetic PRP service, and anyone with concerns about Peyronie’s disease should speak to their GP or a urologist.
No treatment can guarantee a specific result, and individual response to PRP varies. Most patients see a gradual improvement in skin quality or hair thinning over several weeks, and this is discussed in realistic terms at consultation.
A course of three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, is typically recommended to see a measurable improvement, with occasional maintenance sessions after that. The right plan for you is confirmed at consultation.
A topical numbing cream is applied before injection, so most patients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain.
Results build gradually and are generally maintained with occasional top-up sessions every six to twelve months, though this varies by patient and treatment area.
Wrinkle reduction injections, often referred to as anti-wrinkle or Botox treatments, work by relaxing targeted facial muscles to smooth existing lines and prevent new wrinkles from forming. At our Harley Street clinic, Dr Duncan Brennand personally administers every treatment to ensure precise, natural-looking results.
Because the plasma comes from the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is lower than with products containing synthetic or donor-derived ingredients. As with any injectable treatment, suitability is confirmed at consultation.
Yes — PRP Injections are used for both early-stage skin ageing and early-stage hair thinning, though the two are usually addressed as separate treatment plans depending on the areas involved.
Botox is one of several brands used for wrinkle reduction. Other approved formulations achieve similar results through the same active ingredient. At our 101 Harley Street clinic, Dr Duncan selects the most suitable option for your goals and facial characteristics.
Discomfort is minimal. Treatments are delivered with ultra-fine needles, and Dr Duncan uses gentle, precise techniques to ensure your comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinprick.
You’ll start to notice a visible softening of lines within 3-5 days, with full results typically achieved after 10-14 days. Dr Duncan will review your progress and can make any refinements during a complimentary follow-up appointment.
