Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

 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. 

Yes. A small blood sample is taken during your appointment and processed to concentrate the platelet-rich component used for your treatment. 

Yes. PRP is used within skin rejuvenation, microneedling and hair-restoration plans. The preparation and treatment approach will depend on the area being treated and your individual goals.

PRP may be used as a treatment in its own right or combined with Dermapen microneedling. Microneedling creates controlled microchannels within the skin, while PRP is incorporated into the treatment to support the skin’s regenerative response.

The recommended number of sessions is 3-6 sessions. Skin rejuvenation, acne scarring and hair thinning require a different course and review schedule.

PRP is used for certain patterns of hair thinning or reduced density. Your consultation will help us assess your scalp, explore relevant contributing factors and determine whether PRP will form part of your plan.

PRP is strongly recommended following a hair transplant to support the scalp and ongoing hair-restoration journey.
