For those seeking a more natural approach to anti-ageing procedures Platelet-Rich Concentrate is a biological skin rejuvenation treatment which promotes tissue regeneration and remodelling, the clinically backed technology used at Dr Sknn provides a unique system for superior platelet extraction which maximises the harvesting of growth factors which can be introduced in the exact location where patients are seeking repair and rejuvenation. When performed it initiates a local stem cell response which over time, weeks and months, help form new collagen structures, hyaluronic acid and blood vessels. It repairs and regenerates damaged skin leaving the skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated, it provides a significant improvement in skin elasticity while stimulating the breakdown of sun-damaged portions of the extracellular matrix. The process leads to slow down the ageing process, improvement of skin texture and tone, diminishing fine lines, wrinkles and scars and gradually increases skin thickness and vitality while maintaining a natural-looking appearance after the treatment.


At Dr Sknn we don’t only provide leukocyte reduced Platelet-Rich Concentrate we also offer a natural hyaluronic acid enriched by your platelet growth factors as everyone is different and no one size fits all approach is taken, Dr Shaffu formulates a couture plan specifically tailored to your ageing concerns and signs that have developed then formulates an autologous plan to provide the best outcomes


At Dr Sknn we use two types of technology platforms for standardised autologous medicine, the first is a cellular matrix platform that is combined with 2 ml of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid that is backed by a large number of clinical studies, with over 200 publications, the technological platform for autologous provides the biological advantages of having > 70% platelet recovery with ~94.3% depletion of leucocytes with a depletion of ~99.5% erythrocytes with a full plasma recovery resulting in no loss of plasma growth factors and fibrinogen. The second technological platform also backed by a large number of clinical studies with over 200 publications produces a platelet recovery of >80% with no loss of plasma growth factors and fibrinogen, with a depletion of 96.7% of pro-inflammatory granulocytes and a depletion of ~99.7% erythrocytes.

What benefits will expect to see from Sknn Platelet-Rich Concentrate or Sknn Boost Platelet-Rich Concentrate?

Injection of Platelet-Rich Concentrate to the treated site activates platelets, causing them to release regeneration-associated growth factors, which initiate a healing response by attracting stem cells, stimulating cell growth, tissue remodelling and de-novo collagen deposit. The process leads to slow down of the ageing process, improvement of skin texture and tone, diminishing fine lines, wrinkles and scars and gradual increase in skin thickness and vitality. Importantly, the skin will maintain a natural-looking appearance after the treatment. 


However Improvement is dependent on skin condition, the extent of wrinkles and scarring, smoking, alcohol consumption and environmental factors

How does Sknn Platelet-Rich Concentrate or Sknn Boost Platelet-Rich Concentrate work?

Platelets are key factors in tissue repair mechanisms1. They provide essential growth factors, such as FGF, PDGF, TGF-β, EGF, VEGF, IGF, which are involved in stem cell migration, differentiation and proliferation. Platelets also stimulate fibroblasts and endothelial cells to induce the deposition of new extracellular matrix and neo- vascularisation, respectively. The platelets are concentrated from the patient’s own blood.
Plasma contains many factors essential for cell survival including nutrients, vitamins, hormones, electrolytes, growth factors (such as IGF and HGF), and proteins. Among the plasma proteins, the molecules vital for the coagulation process and for formation of the fibrin polymer will serve as a scaffold for cell migration and new tissue generation.2
