What Is PRP Therapy? Hair and Facial Applications

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma — a treatment that's grown quickly in popularity for both hair restoration and facial skin rejuvenation, using a concentrated part of your own blood.

How PRP Is Prepared

A small blood sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, which contain growth factors involved in the body's natural repair processes. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the treatment area.

Two Main Applications

• Hair restoration — injected into the scalp to support existing hair and stimulate follicle activity
• Facial rejuvenation — injected into the skin to support collagen production and improve texture

Why It Appeals to Patients

Because PRP uses your own blood rather than a foreign substance, it avoids the risk of allergic reaction associated with synthetic products — one of its main appeals alongside the minimal downtime involved.
