PRP Treatment
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is an autologous procedure in which platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient's blood is used on the skin or scalp in selected situations. Being autologous may reduce some allergy concerns, but it does not remove risks related to bruising, pain, infection, preparation variability, blood conditions, or medication history.
Treatment Information
Duration
30-45 minutes
Body Location
Face, neck, décolletage, hands or selected skin areas after assessment
Preparation
Hydrate well and do not come fasting on the procedure day. Tell your doctor if you use blood thinners. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
Follow-up Care
Immediate return to daily life; mild redness fades within hours. For skin, 3-4 sessions 2-4 weeks apart; for hair, a monthly course is planned.
How It Is Performed
A small amount of blood is drawn from the arm and centrifuged in special tubes to separate the platelet-rich plasma. The resulting plasma is applied to the skin or scalp with fine needles or microneedling.
Frequently Asked Questions
PRP improves skin tone and texture, softens fine lines, supports under-eye vitality, and in suitable hair-loss types strengthens hair follicles. It provides a natural, gradual refresh.
Preparation from your own blood may reduce some allergy concerns, but risk is not zero. Sterile technique, preparation method, blood and medication history, and active infection must be assessed by a physician.
In early-to-moderate androgenetic (genetic) hair loss and thinning, PRP supports the follicles. In very advanced loss it may not suffice alone — we assess this honestly during examination.
For skin, usually 3-4 sessions 2-4 weeks apart; for hair, a monthly course over 4-6 months. One or two reminder sessions per year help maintain results.
It is not applied with blood disorders, platelet dysfunction, active infection, some cancer treatments, or during pregnancy. Medical history is reviewed in consultation.
