In the world of cosmetic dermatology, treatments that work with your body—not against it—are becoming increasingly popular. One such treatment is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, a natural, minimally invasive option used to rejuvenate skin, restore hair growth and enhance overall appearance.
What Is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a concentrated form of plasma derived from your own blood. Platelets are best known for their role in blood clotting, but they also contain powerful growth factors that support tissue repair and collagen production.
To create PRP:
1. A small amount of your blood is drawn.
2. The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets.
3. The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is collected and prepared for treatment.
Because PRP comes from your own body, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low.
How PRP Works in Cosmetic Treatments
PRP works by stimulating the body’s natural healing and regenerative processes. When injected or applied to targeted areas, the growth factors in PRP:
• Promote collagen and elastin production
• Improve blood flow and tissue repair
• Enhance skin texture and tone
• Support hair follicle health
The result is a refreshed, more youthful appearance that develops gradually and naturally over time.
Benefits of PRP Cosmetic Treatments
• Natural results using your own blood
• Minimal downtime compared to surgical options
• Low risk of allergic reaction
• Versatile for skin, hair, and facial rejuvenation
• Gradual improvement that looks natural, not “overdone”
Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
What to Expect After Treatment
Following PRP treatment, mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur but typically resolves within 24–72 hours. Results are not instant—improvements develop gradually as collagen production increases over several weeks.
Many patients benefit from a series of treatments for optimal results, depending on the area treated and individual goals.

PRP may be a good option if you’re looking for:
• A natural approach to cosmetic enhancement
