PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It is prepared by processing a sample of your blood and then applied to a suitable skin or scalp area. Because platelets contain growth factors, PRP has been investigated across different clinical fields. In aesthetic practice, it may be considered for skin appearance and selected types of hair loss. Response varies with the individual and purpose.
Skin assessment may consider texture and fine lines. For hair concerns, the type of hair loss and scalp condition should be examined first. PRP does not work equally for all causes of shedding and cannot guarantee restoration of lost follicles. Other treatment options may also need consideration.
A blood sample is separated using a centrifuge to obtain a platelet-rich fraction. Preparation systems and treatment protocols may affect outcomes. Sterile conditions matter during blood collection and injection. Using your own material does not eliminate risk: tenderness, bruising, infection or a reaction to an additional product can occur.
Blood disorders, active infections and medicines are reviewed when assessing suitability. Session numbers and intervals are planned around the treatment area and clinical response. Follow-up compares skin or hair appearance with the baseline. Changes are assessed over time, and identical results or timelines should not be expected for everyone.

The timing depends on the goal. Hair changes may require longer follow-up.
The treatment area, preparation system and individual session plan affect the quotation.
