PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Your own growth factors, redelivered where they work.
A small sample of your blood is spun in a centrifuge, separating a concentrated band of platelets rich in growth factors. I reinject that concentrate into skin or scalp to stimulate repair and collagen synthesis. Biocompatible by definition — it is your own material.
Best for skin quality, hair restoration, and accelerated healing.
- ·Fine lines and early photoaging
- ·Texture, elasticity, skin vitality
- ·Dark under-eye shadows
- ·Acne scarring (combined with microneedling)
- ·Hair thinning (scalp injection)
- ·Recovery acceleration after laser
Four steps, every time.
- Blood draw & centrifuge
15–20 mL of your blood into a sealed tube. Centrifuged to separate the platelet band. Preparation takes roughly 10 minutes.
10 – 15 min - Anaesthesia & preparation
Topical numbing cream for 20–30 minutes on the target area. The PRP is drawn up in a sterile field while you rest.
20 – 30 min - Reinjection
Fine needles or microneedling pen, depending on goal. Multiple shallow passes. You feel small stings.
15 – 25 min - Aftercare brief
Written instructions, follow-up at four weeks. Series of 3–4 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart, is the norm.

PRP is not magic. The evidence is strongest for early skin aging and for hair thinning in the right patient. If you have been sold PRP for every concern, be sceptical — I won't recommend it unless the indication is appropriate.
The first 48 hours matter.
Mild redness and pinpoint bruising are normal for a day or two. Results develop over 2–4 weeks as growth factors drive regeneration. A full course of 3–4 sessions is typical.
Do
- Drink plenty of water in the 24 hours before and after.
- Leave the injection sites clean and untouched for 12 hours.
- Use gentle fragrance-free skincare for 3 days.
- Complete the full series — single sessions rarely deliver the benefit.
Don't
- Wash or apply products to the area for 12 hours.
- Exercise, sauna, or alcohol for 48 hours.
- Take NSAIDs (ibuprofen etc.) for 3 days before and 3 days after — they blunt the platelet response.
- Expect dramatic change after one session.
