PRP Treatment (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Platelet-rich plasma uses a small sample of your own blood, spun to concentrate its platelets and growth factors, which is then injected to stimulate repair and rejuvenation. At DermaDerm it is used both to improve skin quality on the face and to support thinning hair on the scalp. Because it is autologous — derived entirely from you — it is well tolerated and a natural option, and works best as a short course with occasional maintenance.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a regenerative treatment that harnesses your own blood's healing components. A small sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors that signal tissue repair and collagen production. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the skin or scalp to rejuvenate tone, texture and firmness, or to support hair follicles. At DermaDerm the process — blood draw, preparation and treatment — takes around forty-five to sixty minutes, with numbing cream applied for comfort. For the face, PRP improves dull or tired skin, fine lines and overall quality and pairs well with mesotherapy; for the scalp, it is used in early-to-moderate, non-scarring hair thinning to strengthen existing hair and reduce shedding. Because the material is entirely your own, there is no risk of allergy to a foreign substance, which makes PRP popular with patients who prefer a natural approach. Expect mild redness or small bruises for a day or two. Results build gradually as tissue remodels over several weeks, so a course of around three sessions spaced a few weeks apart is recommended, with maintenance once or twice a year. Suitability is assessed by the doctor at consultation; PRP is not performed in pregnancy or in certain blood or clotting conditions, and realistic expectations are set, particularly for hair where established baldness will not respond.
