PRP hair restoration is a treatment that takes up to 40 minutes. A sample of your blood is retrieved and placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. The enriched platelet plasma is extracted from the blood and injected into your scalp to help promote hair growth and boost collagen.
Most people are suitable for PRP; unfortunately, there are certain cases where a patient may not be suitable, and the reason can vary. In some instances, lack of hair follicles can make a patient not suitable. Any type of blood cancers and blood disorders would also make a patient not suitable. Optimal health produces better results.
For up to 48 hours to a week before your treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and anti-inflammatories.
The number of treatments required varies from patient to patient. PRP is a customizable treatment to target each patient's individual needs.
There is no need for recovery time after a PRP session as it is the least invasive hair restoration treatment; you can return to your daily routine right away. PRP treatment takes less than 10 minutes, and appointments are only 30 minutes long. PRP is injected into the scalp with very small needles, causing minor discomfort.
PRP is not a permanent solution for hair loss as it only restores the follicle's ability to regrow hair. Additional injections may be needed to maintain and upkeep results.
After treatment, there may be slight pain or tenderness with some discomfort on the injection site, which is normal. Patients can also experience slight swelling or bruising which should resolve on its own. Other more serious side effects, which are extremely rare, would be infection. We at Dermamina combat this by using red light therapy to ensure bacteria are killed, lowering the chances of infection. Another extremely rare side effect is an allergic reaction.
We advise waiting until after you deliver and finish breastfeeding. Therefore, we do not treat patients that are pregnant or breastfeeding.

PRP Facial, also known as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) facial rejuvenation treatment. It is a highly effective natural and minimally invasive facial treatment that harnesses your body’s natural healing properties to repair and rejuvenate your skin, and reduce signs of ageing.
PRP facial is a treatment that takes up to 40 minutes. A sample of your blood is retrieved and placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. The enriched platelet plasma is extracted from the blood and applied to the skin, providing your skin a fresher, tighter, healthier, and more youthful glow in one of the most natural ways.
For up to 48 hours to a week before your treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and anti-inflammatories.
Yes, PRP treatments are safe. It is a 100% natural procedure using your own blood, so there is no risk of an allergic reaction. PRP treatments, for many years have been and are currently in use for medical purposes, such as healing of injured muscles and joints, tendons, and ligaments.
The treatment is minimally invasive and generally painless. The needles used are among the thinnest, making the procedure virtually painless. Local anaesthetic cream is also available if required.
3-4 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart, are recommended for best results. Following the first 4 sessions, a top-up treatment 6 months later is advisable and then on an annual basis to help maintain skin rejuvenation. During your initial consultation, we will go through this together.
Slight swelling and redness are the most common side effects. They typically appear immediately after the procedure and clear within four to six days. You'll also want to avoid sun exposure and harsh skin treatments during this time. It's important that you don't rub or pick at your face.
For PRP treatments of the face, you can expect to see some results starting at 2 or 3 weeks. These results will be a brighter complexion, a healthy glow to the skin, and even a more plump skin texture.
PRP Face is an effective treatment for the under-eye area as it increases blood vessel growth and strengthens collagen promoting a refreshed and youthful appearance. New blood vessels in the under-eye area allow nutrients and oxygen into the skin, resulting in a decrease of puffiness and loose under-eye skin is tightened.

We provide Profhilo, Seventy Hyal 2000, RHA1, Redensity, and Sunekos skin booster treatments.
Consultation: You will meet with one of our practitioners prior to treatment to discuss your goals, assess your skin condition, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
Preparation: Before the procedure, the treatment area will be cleansed, and numbing cream will be applied to minimize discomfort during the injections.
Injection: This is then injected into specific areas of the face using a fine needle. The injector will strategically place the skin booster to help treat the physiological depletion of hyaluronic acid (HA) within the skin. The supplementation of hyaluronic acid (HA) delivers moisture-surging hydration whilst simultaneously stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin.
After the injections, small, localized bumps may appear at the injection points as expected with any injectable procedure. These small bumps can last anywhere from 1 hour to 48 hours before dispersing under the skin.
What to expect: Bruising is the most common side effect and usually shows immediately and will last for 3-5 days. There can also be some mild swelling and tenderness. This is all completely normal and generally reduces within a few days to a week. No recovery time is required, and you can return to your daily activities immediately.
The longevity of results can vary between individuals; however, Results are expected to show almost immediately with full results showing two weeks post-treatment. 2-3 sessions of the treatment depending on initial skin quality spaced four weeks apart may be recommended to maintain the desired results. Treatments will then need to be topped up every six to 12 months.
Our skin boosters prove highly effective for enhancing the face, neck, decolletage, and hands. The face is the most commonly treated location.
The downtime or recovery time after skin booster injections is generally minimal. Many individuals can resume their normal activities almost immediately after the treatment. However, it's essential to note that individual responses to the injections can vary. Some may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects are usually temporary and resolve within a short period.
Patients typically report minimal and easily manageable discomfort. We recognize that pain tolerance varies among individuals, and we are pleased to offer anesthetic cream to patients before commencing the treatment. It's normal to experience slight discomfort after the procedure, but significant pain is not anticipated. We will provide post-treatment guidance, and a comprehensive summary will be sent directly to your email. This ensures that patients are well-informed about what to expect and the recommended aftercare measures to follow.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure in which tiny, sterile needles are used to form micro-channels in the skin. This procedure enhances the body's natural healing response, resulting in increased collagen and elastin synthesis, enhanced skin texture, and a reduction in the visibility of scars, wrinkles, and other skin flaws.
Although Microneedling is generally safe, some individuals may experience slight discomfort during the process. To alleviate any discomfort, a numbing cream can be given to the treatment region.
Micro-needling can help with fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. It can also tighten the skin, giving it a more youthful and bright appearance.

Laser Hair Removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light to remove unwanted hair.
The laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles, damaging them and inhibiting future hair growth.

We use the leading Aqualyx for fat dissolving. Aqualyx is a type of fat dissolving treatment that targets localised areas of stubborn fat. A natural substance called deoxycholic, which naturally occurs in the body is injected directly into the area of excess body fat helping to break down and eliminate fat.
Areas that could be treated (subject to suitability) include:
- Thighs
- Bingo wings
- Double chin
- Back, including bra back fat
- Stomach and six-pack definition/ six-pack abs treatment

Yes. At Dermamina, pre-treatment consultations are crucial in ensuring that patients are well-prepared and at ease in the hands of their therapists, as well as, most significantly to ensure the patient is fully informed about the treatment and also understands what the patient is looking to achieve.

During the injection, some patients may feel a minor stinging or burning sensation, but this is often brief and mild. Some individuals may suffer minor swelling, redness, or bruising in the treated area after the injection, although these symptoms are expected and usually go away within a few days.
Sessions needed depend on the individual and the area treated. For example, under the chin usually may require just one treatment, whereas the stomach area could require 2-3. We cannot determine without going through a thorough consultation and assessment as each person's fat is unique and may need more or less than others. Most people see a difference right away after just one session.
Fat dissolving is regarded as a non-invasive procedure. Pain experienced during Aqualyx can vary from person to person. The majority only experience a little discomfort throughout the treatment as a fine needle is used.
Aqualyx is often regarded as safe in the hands of a trained and knowledgeable provider. Deoxycholic acid, an organic compound present in the body that aids in the breakdown and elimination of fat, is the active component of Aqualyx. This fat dissolving substance has been extensively studied and has been approved for use since 2009.
