PRP Therapy for Face in Basingstoke
Looking for a natural way to refresh and renew your skin? At Hampshire Dental Care, we offer PRP Therapy for Face using PRP PURE, a respected system in aesthetic medicine. A single session costs £250, and it’s performed by our trained clinicians in a safe, comfortable environment.
Facial PRP (often called a “vampire facial”) works by using your own blood’s platelets, growth factors and plasma to stimulate collagen, improve skin texture, tone and support the natural repair processes of your skin. It’s ideal if you want a glow, a reduction in fine lines, or more even skin without invasive surgery or synthetic fillers.
What Is PRP Therapy for the Face?
PRP stands for Platelet‑Rich Plasma. The process involves drawing a small sample of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets and plasma, then reintroducing this concentrated PRP into areas of the face that could benefit – such as around fine lines, cheeks, under‑eyes or where the skin feels dull.
The goal is to harness your body’s own healing powers. PRP therapy for the face encourages:
- Collagen production & improved skin elasticity
- Better skin texture & tone, reducing dullness and uneven pigmentation
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Healing support for acne scars or minor skin irregularities
What to Expect – Process & Aftercare
Here’s what happens during a treatment, and what to expect afterwards:
Consultation & Skin Assessment
We’ll discuss your skin concerns, health history, expectations, and which areas you'd like to improve.
Blood Draw & Preparation
A small amount of blood is taken and processed to isolate platelet‑rich plasma. This is then prepared for injection or microneedling.
Application
PRP is delivered by injection or sometimes applied in combination with microneedling, depending on your skin’s needs.
Aftercare
Mild redness, minor swelling or tiny bruises are common and usually settle within a few days. Avoid heavy makeup for 24‑48 hours, protect your skin from the sun, and follow our care advice.
Results Timeline
You may notice improvements in skin radiance within 1‑2 weeks. Deeper results – firmer skin, reduced lines – often appear over 3‑4 weeks as collagen builds up. Maintenance sessions may be advised for longer‑term benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP therapy for face painful?
Most people find it tolerable. We use fine needles or microneedling, and some products include a mild numbing agent. You may feel slight discomfort or tingling, but it’s short‑lived.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your skin condition and goals. Many patients benefit from 2‑3 initial treatments spaced several weeks apart, then periodic maintenance.
Are the results long‑lasting?
Yes, for many people. While individual results vary, improvements in skin texture and tone often last several months. Collagen growth continues over time, so results can keep improving for weeks after treatment.
Is there any downtime?
Very little. Some redness, swelling, or slight bruising may occur, but most people can resume normal activities within a day or two. Avoid sun exposure and vigorous exercise immediately afterwards.
Am I a good candidate for facial PRP?
Discomfort is minimal. The injections use fine needles, and the process is designed to be as comfortable as possible. Numbing cream can be offered if needed.
Can PRP for hair be combined with other treatments?
Usually yes – if you’re healthy, not pregnant, without active skin infection or certain blood disorders. During consultation, we’ll check your medical history to ensure safety.
