PRP
A biological treatment injecting growth-factor-rich plasma derived from the patient's own blood into the scalp or facial skin.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) involves injecting a plasma fraction rich in growth factors — derived from the person's own blood — into the target area. This plasma, separated from the blood using a centrifuge, is used to support tissue repair and cell renewal in the treated region. Because it is produced from the person's own biological material, the risk of foreign-body reaction is very low.
How It's Applied
- The procedure begins with a small blood draw from the patient's arm.
- The drawn blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma fraction.
- The prepared PRP is injected into the target area (scalp or facial skin) using fine needles.
- A session takes 45–60 minutes; temporary sensitivity at the injection site may occur after the procedure.
- Typically 3–4 sessions are planned 4–6 weeks apart, followed by 1–2 maintenance sessions per year.
Who It's For
- May be considered by adults who notice thinning or finer hair strands on the scalp.
- Can be an option for those seeking an integrative biological support for facial skin who are open to injection-based approaches.
- Conditions such as use of blood-thinning medications, active infection or certain blood disorders can affect suitability; physician evaluation is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is PRP?
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a biological substance derived from the patient's own blood, containing concentrated growth factors. It is used to support tissue repair and renewal.
- How many PRP sessions are needed?
- For skin treatments, 3–4 sessions are generally recommended, spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart. The number is determined through personal evaluation.
- When are PRP results visible?
- Initial changes may be noticeable within 4–6 weeks; the full effect typically becomes more apparent over the following months. Response varies between individuals.
