PRP treatment, also known as platelet-rich plasma treatment, works by harnessing the body’s own healing properties to rejuvenate the skin, improve texture and elasticity, and promote a brighter, more youthful complexion. It is also commonly used to address hair loss and chronic pain, supporting tissue repair and regeneration by stimulating natural healing processes.
Understanding PRP – from Prescription to Process
PRP is a treatment many people have heard of, even if they are not fully familiar with how it works or what it involves.
Platelet-rich plasma treatment uses the client’s own blood to stimulate healing, tissue regeneration, and cell growth. Because PRP relies entirely on the body’s own platelets, the risk of rejection or adverse reaction is minimal, making it a safe and effective option for a wide range of concerns.
The process begins with a small sample of the client’s blood being drawn. This blood is then placed into a centrifuge, where it is spun at high speed to separate it into distinct layers. These layers consist of red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma, with the plasma containing a high concentration of platelets.
The platelet-rich portion of the plasma is carefully collected and prepared for use. This concentrated solution can then be injected directly into targeted treatment areas or applied in combination with microneedling. By first extracting whole blood and then isolating the platelet-rich plasma, clinicians are able to deliver a powerful concentration of growth factors precisely where they are needed, stimulating cell regeneration and accelerating the body’s natural healing response.
Does PRP Hurt – and What Results Can I Expect?
One of the key benefits of PRP treatment from a client perspective is that it is minimally invasive and uses the body’s own natural resources.
Treatment always begins with a detailed consultation and assessment. During this stage, your clinician will identify the underlying cause of your skin concerns, hair loss, or chronic condition and determine whether PRP is the most suitable option for you. A small blood sample is then taken and processed in a centrifuge to separate the blood cells from the platelet-rich plasma.
Once prepared, the PRP is administered using fine, shallow needles or through microneedling, depending on the treatment area and desired outcome. These targeted injections stimulate internal repair, working from within to improve skin quality, encourage collagen production, and support healthier cells beneath the surface.
Recovery time is typically minimal. Because PRP uses your own blood, side effects are uncommon, and most clients experience little more than mild redness or sensitivity that resolves quickly.
Is PRP Right For Me?
If you are looking to enhance your natural features without the use of synthetic fillers or foreign injectables, PRP is an option worth considering. In addition to improving skin tone and texture, PRP can support hair growth, reduce inflammation, and aid the healing of chronic conditions by revitalising cells and improving tissue health.
