Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a treatment that uses a person’s own blood to help improve hair growth and skin health. A small amount of blood is taken and placed in a machine called a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood. The PRP, which contains growth factors, is then injected into the scalp or skin. For hair loss, PRP may help strengthen hair follicles, reduce hair thinning, and encourage new hair growth.

It is commonly used for male and female pattern hair loss and is often combined with other treatments for better results. Several treatment sessions are usually needed, followed by maintenance sessions to keep the results. For skin rejuvenation, PRP is used to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. It may help reduce fine lines, acne scars, dark circles, and signs of aging by stimulating collagen production and tissue repair.

Some people notice smoother, firmer, and healthier-looking skin after treatment. PRP therapy is generally considered safe because it uses the patient’s own blood, which lowers the risk of allergic reactions. Mild redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur after the procedure, but these effects usually settle within a few days. Results can vary from person to person, and improvements often appear gradually over several weeks or months.
