PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment is a regenerative procedure that uses your body’s own healing properties to improve skin quality and support tissue repair. As the skin ages, the production of fibroblasts and collagen naturally decreases, leading to a loss of firmness, changes in texture, and the development of fine lines. PRP works by stimulating cellular activity within the skin, thereby improving hydration, elasticity, and overall skin appearance.

This treatment is commonly used for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration and is well-suited for individuals seeking a natural, non-surgical option with minimal downtime.

What Is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?

Platelet-rich plasma is derived from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed to concentrate platelets, which are rich in growth factors and biologically active proteins. These components play an important role in tissue repair and collagen stimulation, making PRP an effective option for improving ageing or damaged skin.

How Does PRP Treatment Work?

PRP treatment begins with drawing a small amount of blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is carefully applied or injected into targeted areas of the skin or scalp.

Once introduced, PRP releases growth factors that support cellular renewal, improve blood supply, stimulate collagen production, and increase natural hyaluronic acid levels. This helps improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall texture over time.

Benefits of PRP Treatment for Skin

PRP treatment offers a range of skin-focused benefits, including:

  • Improved skin texture and tone
  • Increased firmness and elasticity
  • Enhanced hydration and luminosity
  • Reduction in fine lines and crepey skin
  • Support for natural collagen production

Areas That Can Be Treated With PRP

PRP can be used on multiple areas where skin quality and firmness are a concern, including:

  • Under-eye area
  • Full face
  • Neck
  • Décolletage
  • Hands

A course of treatments is usually recommended, typically consisting of 3–4 sessions spaced approximately one month apart, with maintenance sessions advised every 6–12 months, depending on the individual’s response.

PRP Treatment for Hair Loss (Alopecia)

PRP is also commonly used to support hair restoration in individuals experiencing hair thinning or hair loss. When injected into the scalp, PRP helps stimulate hair follicles, improve blood circulation, and support healthier hair growth.

This treatment may be suitable for certain types of alopecia and is often recommended as a series of sessions for best results. A consultation is required to assess suitability and create an appropriate treatment plan.
