PRP and dermal fillers are both highly effective anti-ageing treatments — but they work in very different ways, suit different patients, and deliver different types of results. Here is a complete, honest comparison from our aesthetic doctors.
What Is PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses a concentrated sample of your own blood plasma to stimulate collagen and elastin production. It improves skin quality, texture, fine lines, and radiance over time. It is a regenerative treatment, not a volumiser.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers — typically hyaluronic acid — add volume, lift and shape to specific areas. They are ideal for lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, tear troughs and jawline definition. Results are immediate and highly visible.
| Factor | PRP | Dermal Fillers |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Stimulates natural collagen | Adds immediate volume |
| Results visible | 4–8 weeks (gradual) | Immediately |
| Duration | 12–18 months | 12–24 months |
| Best for | Skin quality & radiance | Volume & contour |
| Risk of allergy | None (your own blood) | Very low (HA is natural) |
Can You Combine Both?
Yes — and many patients do. PRP improves overall skin quality and radiance while fillers address specific volume concerns. The combination delivers comprehensive rejuvenation. At EsteCenter, we offer combination packages at a significant discount versus individual treatment pricing.
