What is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing and rejuvenating properties. Using a small sample of your own blood, a concentrated solution rich in platelets, growth factors and regenerative proteins is prepared and carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp or skin.

These growth factors stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, cellular regeneration and improved blood supply, helping to restore healthier skin and support natural hair growth.

PRP is a minimally invasive treatment that uses your body’s own biological resources, making it a safe and natural option for rejuvenation.

PRP for Hair Restoration

PRP therapy is increasingly used to treat thinning hair and early hair loss in both men and women. The concentrated growth factors stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve scalp circulation and promote healthier, thicker hair growth.

Benefits of PRP for Hair

• Stimulates natural hair growth
• Increases hair thickness and density
• Improves hair quality and strength
• Reduces hair shedding
• Enhances scalp health and circulation
• Can complement hair transplant surgery
• Minimally invasive with little downtime

• Improves skin texture and tone
• Stimulates collagen production
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Enhances skin firmness and elasticity

What Happens During Treatment?

1. A small blood sample is taken from your arm.
2. The sample is processed in a specialised centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets.
3. The PRP is carefully injected into the treatment area or combined with microneedling for skin rejuvenation.
4. The procedure typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes.

Most patients can return to normal activities shortly after treatmentBecause PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low. However, as with any injectable procedure, temporary side effects may occur.

Common Side Effects

• Mild redness
• Swelling
• Tenderness
• Bruising at injection sites
• Temporary scalp sensitivity
• Minor discomfort during treatment

Rare Complications

• Infection
• Prolonged swelling or bruising
• Temporary headache following scalp treatment
• Unsatisfactory or limited response to treatment

Most side effects are mild and resolve within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many PRP treatments will I need?

Most patients benefit from an initial course of 3–4 treatments spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–12 months depending on individual needs.

When will I see results?

For hair restoration, improvement is typically noticed after 3–6 months as hair follicles respond and new growth develops.

For skin rejuvenation, many patients observe improvements in skin quality and texture within several weeks, with continued enhancement over the following months.

Is PRP treatment painful?

Most patients experience only mild discomfort. Topical anaesthetic cream may be used for skin treatments, and treatment techniques are designed to maximise comfort.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime is minimal. Mild redness, swelling or tenderness may occur for 24–72 hours, but most patients return to normal activities the same day.

Is PRP safe?

PRP has an excellent safety profile because it uses your own blood products, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or rejection.

Can PRP be combined with other treatments?

Yes. PRP is frequently combined with microneedling, laser treatments, medical-grade skincare, hair restoration programmes and other regenerative therapies to enhance results.

How long do the results last?

Results vary between individuals. Regular maintenance treatments and a personalised treatment plan help sustain and optimise long-term outcomes.

Who should not undergo PRP treatment?

PRP may not be suitable for individuals with certain blood disorders, active infections, severe scalp or skin disease, bleeding disorders, or those taking specific anticoagulant medications. Suitability will be assessed during consultation.
