PRP Therapy
PRP therapy harnesses your own blood's growth factors to stimulate hair growth, rejuvenate skin, accelerate healing of injuries, and improve acne scars — a natural, autologous treatment.
Overview
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets (which are rich in growth factors), and injecting this concentrate into the treatment area. The growth factors stimulate tissue regeneration, collagen production, and hair follicle activity.
PRP is most popular for hair restoration — injected into the scalp to revive dormant hair follicles and thicken existing hair. It's also effective for facial rejuvenation (the 'vampire facial'), acne scar improvement, and accelerating healing of sports injuries and post-surgical recovery.
Causes
- PRP is a treatment modality, not a disease treatment itself. Used for hair loss, skin ageing, acne scars, and tissue healing.
Symptoms
- Indications include thinning hair, dull/ageing skin, acne scars, chronic tendon injuries, and slow-healing wounds.
Diagnosis
- Clinical assessment — evaluating the extent of hair loss (Norwood/Ludwig scale) or skin quality
- Scalp trichoscopy — magnified examination of hair follicles
Treatment Options
PRP for hair restoration
3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, then maintenance every 6-12 months. Stimulates dormant follicles.
PRP facial (Vampire Facial)
Microneedling combined with PRP application for collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation.
PRP for acne scars
Injected into depressed scars to stimulate collagen remodelling and fill in the depression.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I see results from PRP hair treatment?
Hair growth improvement becomes visible after 3-6 months. Full results after completing all sessions.
Is PRP safe?
Yes. Since it uses your own blood, there's no risk of allergic reaction or disease transmission. Temporary swelling or bruising at injection sites is the main side effect.
