What are PRP Injections?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a natural, regenerative treatment that uses the healing power of your own blood to stimulate collagen production, repair tissue, and encourage new cell growth. Widely known as the “vampire facial” for skin or a growth-boosting treatment for thinning hair, PRP is safe, minimally invasive, and highly effective for both skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.
How does it work?
A small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma—rich in growth factors and healing proteins. This concentrated serum is then injected into targeted areas of the face or scalp to naturally stimulate regeneration.
For Skin: PRP improves skin tone, texture, and elasticity by promoting collagen and elastin production. It’s ideal for treating fine lines, dullness, acne scars, and under-eye hollows.
For Hair: When injected into the scalp, PRP helps awaken dormant hair follicles, strengthen existing hair, and promote thicker, fuller growth—especially effective in early stages of hair thinning.
What Does It Feel Like:?
The treatment involves multiple tiny injections, and while not painful, a topical numbing cream is usually applied to ensure comfort. Some redness or swelling may occur immediately after, but downtime is minimal. For the scalp, a mild tingling or tightness may be felt post-treatment.
What are the results?
Skin: Clients often see a brighter, more even complexion within a few weeks, with ongoing improvement in firmness and texture.
Hair: Results typically become noticeable after 3-6 sessions, with fuller, healthier hair growth continuing to improve over several months.
What is the recommended frequency?
A course of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is usually recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every 4–6 months, depending on your goals and individual response.

Frequently Asked Questions
PRP is ideal for individuals experiencing early signs of aging, thinning hair, acne scarring, or dull and uneven skin tone. It’s suitable for both men and women looking for natural skin or hair rejuvenation. A consultation will determine if PRP is appropriate based on your medical history, goals, and current skin or hair condition.
Discomfort is minimal. For skin treatments, a numbing cream is usually applied beforehand. You may feel light pressure or small pinches during the injections. For scalp treatments, you may feel the sensation, but still very manageable. Any discomfort is typically brief, and most clients tolerate the procedure well.
Recovery is usually quick. You may experience some redness, swelling, or mild bruising at the injection sites for 1–3 days. For hair PRP, the scalp may feel tender for a short time. Most people return to their normal routine within hours. Following aftercare instructions is important to support healing and enhance results.
For best results, a series of 3–6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is typically recommended. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months can help sustain the effects. Your practitioner will tailor a treatment plan based on your specific skin or hair concerns and desired outcome.
