  • For rejuvenating the eye area

  • Rosacea 

What happens during the procedure?

The treatment consists of taking a blood sample from the patient, this is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets.

after cleaning and preparing the area a local anaesthetic is applied.  Once the plasma has been extracted, it is re-injected back in to the desired areas using multiple injections in the form of mesotherapy.

The treatment takes around 45 minutes including numbing time.
