Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
What is PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy is a treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration. By isolating the platelets from your blood, which contain growth factors, PRP helps promote the repair of damaged tissues, improve skin texture, and encourage natural collagen production.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is generally considered a safe treatment. Since it uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is minimal. The procedure itself is minimally invasive, and downtime is typically very short.
It is safe to have your PRP done by a trained medical professional under a regulatory body. Dr Alya operates in Lincoln and is registered with a licence to practice with GMC, insured by INSYNC insurance, and a member of the ACE group.

Frequently Asked Questions - Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
Please reach us at info@linoraaesthetics.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a treatment that harnesses the healing power of your own blood. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood and then spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma, which contains platelets, from the red blood cells.
Platelets are rich in growth factors—proteins that promote cell growth and tissue regeneration. When these concentrated platelets are injected into areas of injury or concern, they stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This encourages tissue repair, boosts collagen production, and can improve skin texture and elasticity. Additionally, PRP attracts stem cells and macrophages to the treated area, further enhancing the regeneration and healing process.
Typically, 3 sessions are recommended, spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments to sustain results. Depending on the condition being treated, such as alopecia, additional sessions may be needed to achieve optimal regeneration.
PRP therapy offers long-lasting effects as it targets the underlying issue, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent the recurrence of the problem.
The likelihood of PRP being ineffective is less than 1%. If no improvements are seen after 2-3 sessions, we will discuss alternative options with you.
PRP is generally considered a safe treatment with minimal risks and no downtime. However, there are certain situations where PRP may not be recommended. It is advised not to undergo PRP if you have any of the following conditions:
- Active inflammatory processes
- Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia)
- Coagulation factor deficiencies
- Currently on anticoagulant therapy (consultation with Dr Alya required)
- Cancer (must be cancer-free for at least 5 years)
- Autoimmune diseases
- Pregnancy
- Hypercholesterolemia (may affect treatment effectiveness)

- Pain: The injection site may feel tender due to repeated needle insertion, which is normal.
- Redness/Irritation: It’s common to experience redness or mild irritation at the injection site after treatment. This usually resolves on its own. However, if the redness persists or feels warm/hot, please contact Dr Alya to discuss your symptoms.
