Injectable Skin Rejuvenation
Dr Harriss SkinGlow
Also known as the Vampire Facial©, this is the process in which PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) taken from your own blood is injected into the skin to hydrate and nourish. PRP contains growth factors and cells that encourage regeneration and nourishment.
The PRP along with a Microneedling procedure also encourages the production of collagen and can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, gives a plumper appearance, reduces pores and uneven skin tone and causes the skin to glow!
This treatment can help with;
♦ Blemishes
♦ Sundamage
♦ Fine lines and Wrinkles
♦ Rejuvenation/Hydration
♦ Total Skin Health

Dr Harriss SkinGold+
Dr Harriss SkinGold+ is the Dr Harriss SkinGold treatment described above, combined with effective PRP treatment, to help maximise results.
PRP (platelet-rich-plasma) involves collecting a small amount of blood from your arm (similar to a routine blood test) which is then placed in a centrifuge which separates platelets from other blood cells. The plasma-rich-platelets are then injected into the affected area. PRP contains growth factors to help our bodies heal and regenerate.
Coupled with PRP, injectable skin rejuvenation is the ideal solution for you to target your problematic skin.
The procedure:
You will have an initial consultation and skin analysis prior to any treatment.
All makeup will be removed prior to the treatment and the area will be thoroughly cleansed. A topical anaesthetic can be applied to the treatment area should you wish, however most of the time this is not necessary.
The treatment is then administered with a series of fine injections using a painless gun device.
If you have chosen to have the SkinGlow+ package, we will need to collect a small amount of blood from your arm, similar to a routine blood test, to extract the PRP. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge that spins the blood at high speeds which allows the platelets to separate from the other blood cells.
Duration of procedure:
45-60 minutes.
Does it hurt?
In short, no. We can use a topical anaesthetic on the injection sites, however most of the time this is not necessary as the method we use has little to no discomfort.
Are there any side effects?
This treatment comes with minimal bruising and no downtime. You may experience some soreness on the day of the treatment but this, along with any bruising will subside in a day or two.
How long until I can see results?
You will find that immediately after the procedure you may feel that the skin is smoother to touch. However the body needs time to heal. You will begin to notice the difference once the growth factors have become established and start the healing process.
How many sessions do I need?
For maximum results, recommend that you have 1 session per month for 3 consecutive months.
We also recommend to repeat this treatment after 6 months, to help maintain results.
Aftercare
After having your treatment you are advised to avoid using any other product on the skin for 24 hours. This is to ensure the area is kept clean and to reduce any chance of infection.
