PRP Therapy for Hair & Skin: What to Expect

PRP has become one of the most popular treatments in aesthetics — and for good reason. It’s natural,
versatile and low-downtime. But it’s also widely over-hyped, so here’s an honest look.

What PRP actually is

A small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets,
which are rich in growth factors. This "platelet-rich plasma" is then applied to the scalp or
skin to encourage repair and regeneration.

PRP for hair

For early-stage hair thinning, PRP can help strengthen existing follicles and support density,
particularly alongside medical treatment. It is not a replacement for a
hair transplant when follicles are already lost — but it’s a useful tool to
protect and enhance the hair you still have, and it pairs well with surgery.

PRP for skin (the "vampire facial")

Applied to the face, usually with microneedling, PRP delivers
growth factors into the skin to improve texture, fine lines and glow. This combination is what
people call a PRP or "vampire" facial.

What a session is like

1. A small blood sample is taken.
2. It’s spun to separate the PRP.
3. The PRP is injected or applied (often with microneedling).
4. You leave with minimal downtime — some redness is normal.

Realistic expectations

• PRP is gradual — results build over a course of sessions.
• It works best as part of a plan, not a single miracle treatment.
• Maintenance sessions help sustain results.

The bottom line

PRP is a genuinely useful, natural treatment when used appropriately and delivered by trained staff.
