PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is produced from autologous whole blood — meaning the patient's own blood — drawn by venepuncture in the same session. After collection into specialised tubes containing an anticoagulant, the blood is placed in a centrifuge and spun at a controlled speed and duration to separate the fraction rich in platelets and growth factors from the red blood cell and platelet-poor plasma layers. The resulting PRP contains 3–5 times the…

For skin rejuvenation of the face, neck, décolletage, or hands, the PRP is placed intradermally at multiple points; for scalp hair stimulation it is injected at the…

The main risk is bruising at injection sites, which typically resolves within 2–5 days. Mild redness and swelling at injection points are expected and settle within 24 hours.
