PRP for Skin and Hair
Natural regeneration using your own cells
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses a small sample of your own blood to stimulate healing and growth. A small sample of your own blood, is processed to separate the platelets—cells that are rich in growth factors. When injected into targeted areas, PRP stimulates collagen production, improves cell turnover, and enhances tissue regeneration. This makes it an ideal option for rejuvenating the skin, treating hair loss, and promoting overall healing. The natural origin of PRP ensures a safe and biocompatible treatment, with minimal risk of allergic reactions or long-term side effects.
PRP for Skin Rejuvenation
• Improves skin texture and tone
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth
• Diminishes the appearance of dark circles
• Stimulates collagen production for firmer skin
• Enhances overall skin radiance
• Smooths acne scars and surgical scars
PRP for Hair Restoration
• Increases hair follicle blood supply
• Enhances hair shaft thickness
• Stimulates dormant hair follicles to promote hair growth
• Reduces hair shedding and thinning
• Produces natural-looking hair growth results
What to expect
The process begins with a simple blood sample, usually from your arm. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets. The resulting PRP is then injected into the target area or applied during microneedling. You may feel mild pinching or pressure. Following the procedure, some swelling, redness, or bruising at the site is common and typically resolves within a few days. Results develop gradually as the body’s natural healing processes take effect.
For optimal results, a series of 3-4 sessions is recommended, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Results can last up to 12 months. Maintenance treatments are advised to sustain and enhance the benefits.
Suitability
PRP is ideal for those looking for a natural, autologous treatment to address signs of aging or hair thinning without synthetic treatments. It can be used to improve the outcomes of hair transplants.
Hair loss can be caused by a number of factors, including pattern baldness, stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiency, autoimmune conditions, fungal infections and medications. It is advised that you seek advice from GP to exclude medical reasons for hair loss prior to treatment to ascertain if PRP is the right choice for you.
What are the benefits?
PRP therapy offers a range of benefits by utilising your body's natural growth factors. It effectively improves skin quality, reduces signs of aging, and can significantly aid in hair restoration by strengthening existing follicles and promoting new growth.
PRP for the delicate eye area
The under-eye region is often the first to show signs of fatigue and aging. PRP is particularly effective here, helping to thicken the thin skin, reduce the appearance of dark circles, and smooth out fine lines, providing a refreshed and rejuvenated look.
What can I expect during treatment?
Your treatment begins with a standard blood draw, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets. After thoroughly cleansing of your skin, the PRP is introduced into the target areas using either microneedling or small injections (mesotherapy). While you may feel minor sensitivity or pressure, the procedure is generally well-tolerated and relatively quick.
Possible side effects and risks
Since PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low. You may experience temporary redness, swelling, or minor bruising at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a few days.
Who may benefit from PRP?
PRP is ideal for individuals seeking a natural approach to anti-aging or hair thinning. It is suitable for most skin types and is often chosen by those who prefer treatments derived from their own biological material.
When will I see the results?
Results from PRP therapy appear gradually as the body's healing processes are activated. Most patients notice an initial improvement within a few weeks, with full results blossoming over three to six months as collagen production increases. Optimal results are seen after a series of treatments.
We recommend no active products for 7 days post treatment (exfoliants, retinol, AHAs or BHAS) and you should wear SPF 50 everyday. Post care details will be provided at the completion of your appointment.
