Injection-free PRP treatment

Does PRP treatment hurt? Traditional PRP treatments typically involve multiple injections, which many patients find uncomfortable. For individuals with needle phobia or significant anxiety around injections, this can be enough to avoid treatment altogether.

ARIAN® Technology offers a needle-free alternative, helping deliver the beneficial components naturally present within your own PRP to the skin without painful injections, making PRP-based skin rejuvenation accessible to a wider range of patients.

What is PRP and does it have to hurt?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood, rich in platelets, to support skin rejuvenation and tissue repair.

Traditional PRP treatments involve multiple injections into the skin. Patients commonly experience some discomfort during treatment, and some degree of soreness, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or redness afterwards. For some individuals, particularly those with needle phobia or significant anxiety around injections, the prospect of multiple needles can be enough to avoid PRP treatment altogether.

ARIAN® Technology takes a different approach, helping deliver the beneficial components naturally present within your own PRP to your skin without the need for painful injections. This offers patients a more comfortable, needle-free alternative while still utilising the regenerative potential of their own PRP. Because no injections are required, there is no injection-related bruising, swelling, soreness, or recovery time associated with the treatment, allowing patients to return to their normal activities immediately.

Introducing ARIAN® Technology

Not everyone is comfortable with facial injections. ARIAN® Technology provides a needle-free way to benefit from your own PRP, by helping deliver the natural healing agents found within your platelets directly to your skin. The result is a more comfortable PRP experience without multiple injections and the bruising, swelling, soreness and downtime they can cause.

How does ARIAN® Technology work?

Step 1: Your clinic appointment

Your clinician will first review your medical history to confirm that PRP is suitable for you. A small blood sample is then taken, similar to a routine blood test, and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the rest of your blood.

PRP is rich in platelets and naturally occurring healing factors, that play an important role in skin rejuvenation and tissue repair. Unlike conventional PRP treatments, your PRP is not injected into the skin. Instead, it is transferred into sterile ARIAN® ampoules and stored in the ARIAN® Digital Storage Device (DSD), allowing you to continue your treatment conveniently at home.

Step 2: Taking your treatment home

You will be provided with your ARIAN® Digital Storage Device (DSD), containing 14 ampoules of your own PRP, together with 14 individual small pots of ARIAN® Altima serum.

ARIAN® Altima has been specifically designed for use with ARIAN® Technology, enabling the beneficial components naturally present within your PRP to be applied to the skin without the need for injections.

Step 3: Your one-week treatment programme

For the next seven days, you will apply your PRP and ARIAN® Altima serum to your skin twice daily in the comfort of your own home.

The application process is simple, painless and takes only a few minutes. Because no injections are involved, there is no injection-related bruising, swelling, soreness or recovery time, allowing you to continue with your normal daily routine.

Step 4: Follow-up and ongoing treatment

After seven days, your clinician may recommend a further treatment cycle depending on your skin concerns, treatment goals and individual response.

Some patients may benefit from additional weekly treatments, with treatment plans tailored to their specific needs. Your clinician will monitor your progress and advise on the most appropriate programme for you.

ARIAN® Technology vs Injected PRP

Both treatments use your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The difference is how the beneficial components within your PRP are delivered to your skin. Traditional PRP typically involves multiple injections, whereas ARIAN® Technology provides an injection-free alternative that can be continued conveniently at home.

ARIAN® Technology FAQs

Does ARIAN® Technology require needles?

A small blood sample is required to prepare your PRP, similar to a routine blood test. However, unlike traditional PRP treatments, ARIAN® Technology does not require multiple injections into the skin. Your PRP is applied using ARIAN® Technology’s injection-free system.

Does ARIAN® Technology work as fast as traditional injected PRP?

ARIAN® Technology takes a different approach to delivering the beneficial components naturally present within your own PRP, without the need for injections. While it may take slightly longer for results to become noticeable compared with traditional injected PRP, many patients feel this is a more suitable alternative for them.

ARIAN® Technology helps you avoid the pain and discomfort of multiple injections, as well as the bruising, swelling, soreness, and recovery time that can be associated with conventional PRP treatments.

How is my PRP applied to the skin?

Your PRP is combined with ARIAN® Altima serum and the mixture is applied topically to the skin twice daily over a treatment period recommended by your clinician. This allows you to benefit from your own PRP without the need for multiple facial injections.

What areas can be treated?

Depending on your clinician’s recommendation, ARIAN® Technology can help deliver the beneficial components naturally present within your own PRP to the skin on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and other areas where skin rejuvenation is desired.

Treatment can generally be used on any area of healthy, intact skin. However, it should not be applied to areas with open wounds, cuts, active infections, or other skin conditions unless specifically advised by your clinician.

Will I experience bruising, swelling or downtime?

Because ARIAN® Technology does not involve injections into the skin, patients do not experience the injection-related bruising, swelling, tenderness, or downtime commonly associated with injectable PRP procedures.

How long does the treatment take?

The clinic appointment usually involves a consultation, blood collection, and preparation of your PRP. At home, application takes only a few minutes, twice daily, as directed by your clinician.

When will I see results?

Results vary from person to person depending on factors such as age, skin condition, lifestyle, and treatment goals. While some patients may begin to notice improvements within as little as one week, more noticeable results are typically seen within one to three weeks.

It is important to remember that PRP works differently from many other skin treatments. Rather than simply masking imperfections, PRP supports the body’s natural regeneration processes and helps restore healthy skin function.

How long do the results last?

The longevity of results varies between individuals. Factors such as age, skin quality, sun exposure, lifestyle, and ongoing skincare all play a role. However, many patients enjoy the benefits of treatment for approximately three to six months. Your clinician may recommend maintenance treatments to help optimise and prolong your results.

As PRP works by supporting the skin’s natural regeneration processes, results tend to develop gradually and can continue to improve over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, following a good skincare routine, and protecting your skin from excessive sun exposure between sessions can help maximise and extend the benefits of treatment.

Is ARIAN® Technology safe?

ARIAN® Technology delivers platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from your own blood, helping to minimise the risk of allergic or adverse reactions. The ARIAN® system itself has been developed through extensive research and development, subjected to rigorous validation testing, and assessed against stringent regulatory requirements to help ensure its safety and performance.

From the sterile preparation and storage of your PRP to its injection-free delivery, every aspect of the ARIAN® system has been designed around high standards of quality, safety, and patient care. As with any treatment, your clinician will assess your suitability and answer any questions you may have before treatment begins.

ARIAN® Technology has successfully met the strict requirements of the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and European CE marking, demonstrating compliance with internationally recognised standards for safety, quality and performance.

Who is a good candidate for ARIAN® Technology?

Suitability for ARIAN® Technology can only be determined by your clinician following a full consultation and review of your medical history. As PRP is derived from your own blood, there are several important medical conditions and contraindications that your clinician must consider before recommending treatment.

For this reason, it is essential that you provide complete and accurate information about your health, medications, and any current or previous medical conditions during your consultation. Examples of conditions that may affect your suitability for PRP treatment include:

Certain blood and platelet disorders
Bleeding or clotting disorders
Active infections
Certain autoimmune conditions
Current cancer or some cancer treatments
The use of anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications
Pregnancy or breastfeeding (depending on your clinician’s advice)

Your clinician will assess your individual circumstances and determine whether ARIAN® Technology is an appropriate treatment option for you.

How should I prepare for my PRP treatment?

To help ensure the best possible experience, your clinician may provide specific instructions before your appointment. This may include advice regarding hydration, medications, supplements, smoking, alcohol consumption, or other factors that could influence the quality of your PRP sample.

Your clinician will guide you through every step and answer any questions you may have before treatment begins. With its combination of personalised PRP therapy, injection-free application, at-home convenience, and advanced medical technology, ARIAN® Technology offers a modern approach to skin rejuvenation designed around both patient comfort and clinical excellence.

How much does ARIAN® Technology cost?

Treatment costs vary between clinics and according to the treatment plan recommended for your individual needs. Your chosen ARIAN® provider will be able to provide a personalised quotation during your consultation.

Where can I have PRP Treatment with ARIAN® Technology?

If you are interested in experiencing PRP with ARIAN® Technology, we recommend speaking with your preferred clinic or healthcare practitioner and asking whether they offer ARIAN® Technology.

If your clinic does not currently provide ARIAN® Technology, let them know that you are interested in an injection-free alternative to traditional PRP treatments. Many clinics are keen to hear about new technologies that their patients would like to access.
