Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has gained immense popularity in recent years for its ability to naturally rejuvenate skin, stimulate hair growth, and improve overall appearance without surgery. By using the body’s own healing components, PRP offers a safe, minimally invasive solution for those seeking younger-looking skin, healthier hair, and improved skin texture.

At Reem Hospital, our experienced dermatologists use advanced PRP techniques for face, skin, and hair treatments tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re dealing with hair thinning, acne scars, or signs of aging, PRP can be part of a personalized plan to restore your confidence.

What is PRP Treatment?

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma — a concentrated form of your own blood plasma that’s rich in platelets and growth factors. These components play a vital role in tissue repair, collagen production, and cell renewal.

In a PRP procedure, a small amount of your blood is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma, and then injected or applied to targeted areas on the skin, face, or scalp. Because it comes from your own body, PRP reduces the risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects.

PRP Treatment for the Face

PRP treatment for the face is often referred to as the “vampire facial” — a cosmetic procedure that helps:

  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improve skin texture and tone
  • Diminish acne scars and enlarged pores
  • Boost collagen production for firmer skin

Your dermatologist may combine PRP with micro needling for even better absorption and results.

Did You Know?
Collagen production begins to decline in your mid-20s, but PRP can help re-activate it naturally, making your skin look younger over time.

PRP Hair Treatment

PRP hair treatment is widely used to treat hair thinning and certain types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).

What is PRP hair treatment?

It involves injecting PRP directly into the scalp to nourish hair follicles, extend the growth phase, and increase hair density. Over several sessions, many patients notice:

  • Reduced hair shedding
  • Thicker, healthier hair strands
  • New hair growth in thinning areas

At Reem Hospital, our dermatologists design a PRP hair plan tailored to your scalp health and hair restoration goals.

PRP Skin Treatment

Beyond the face, PRP skin treatment can be applied to the neck, hands, décolletage, and other areas needing rejuvenation. Benefits include:

  • Reducing sun damage and pigmentation
  • Smoothing stretch marks
  • Improving skin hydration and glow

Did You Know?
Because PRP stimulates your body’s natural repair process, results can continue to improve for months after treatment.

Benefits of PRP Treatment

The benefits of PRP treatment go beyond just cosmetic improvement:

Area TreatedBenefits
FaceSmoother, firmer, more radiant skin
HairIncreased density, reduced shedding
SkinFewer scars, more even tone, improved texture
OverallNatural, non-surgical, minimal downtime

The PRP Procedure: Step-by-Step

  1. Consultation with a Dermatologist – At Reem Hospital, we begin with a full skin and scalp assessment to determine if PRP is right for you.
  2. Blood Draw – A small sample of your blood is taken, usually from the arm.
  3. Centrifugation – The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
  4. Application – PRP is either injected directly into the treatment area or applied topically (often with microneedling).
  5. Recovery – Minimal downtime; you may notice slight redness or tenderness for 1–2 days.

Did You Know?
PRP has been used in sports medicine and orthopedics for years to speed up healing — its cosmetic applications are just as powerful.

How Many PRP Sessions Will You Need?

The number of sessions depends on your goals and condition severity:

  • Face & Skin: 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, then maintenance every 6–12 months
  • Hair: 3–6 initial sessions, followed by maintenance every 6 months

Your dermatologist will recommend a schedule that maximizes your results.

PRP Treatment Results

You can expect gradual, natural-looking results:

  • Hair: Reduced shedding and visible thickening in 3–6 months
  • Skin/Face: Improved texture and tone within 4–8 weeks, with continued improvement for months
  • Scars: Fading and smoother appearance over multiple sessions

Aftercare Tips for PRP

To get the most out of your treatment:

  • Avoid heavy makeup for 24 hours after face PRP
  • Skip hair washing for 24 hours after scalp PRP
  • Protect treated skin from sun exposure
  • Follow your dermatologist’s skincare and haircare recommendations

Who Should Avoid PRP?

PRP is generally safe, but it may not be suitable for those with:

  • Blood clotting disorders
  • Active infections in the treatment area
  • Severe skin conditions
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

A consultation with a dermatologist is essential before starting PRP therapy.

Final Takeaway

Whether you’re considering PRP treatment for the face, PRP hair treatment, or PRP skin treatment, this natural, minimally invasive procedure can deliver impressive results. By harnessing your body’s own growth factors, PRP promotes healing, boosts collagen, and restores vitality to your skin and hair.
