After treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels or laser resurfacing, the skin naturally begins to heal and regenerate. Many people choose Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) as a way of supporting this process.
PRP uses a small sample of your own blood, which is prepared to concentrate the platelets. These platelets contain growth factors that may help your skin’s natural repair response. Some clients notice their skin feels calmer and refreshed, while others find it contributes to a healthier-looking tone and texture over time.
Important to know:
-
PRP is not suitable for everyone; a consultation is essential to check medical history and treatment goals.
-
Possible side effects include mild swelling, redness or bruising that usually settle within a few days.
-
Results vary between individuals. Maintenance sessions may be recommended for ongoing benefits.
-
Treatments are only provided to adults (18+).


Who May Consider PRP After Skin Treatments
This treatment may be suitable for adults (18+) who:
- Have recently had aesthetic procedures such as microneedling, RF microneedling, laser resurfacing, or skin peels
- Would like to support their skin’s natural recovery following cosmetic treatments
- Are experiencing temporary redness, sensitivity or mild post-treatment irritation
- Wish to encourage healthier-looking tone, texture and resilience as their skin heals
How PRP Works
PRP is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The platelets are concentrated and then carefully applied or injected by a registered medical professional.
Because platelets release growth factors, PRP may help to support your skin’s natural repair response. Some clients notice their skin feels calmer and refreshed, while others find it contributes to improved tone and texture over the following weeks.
Typical benefits people report include:
- Skin that feels more comfortable during the recovery period
- A refreshed or smoother appearance as part of the body’s healing process
- Subtle improvements in firmness and resilience with ongoing care
Important to know:
- Results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
- Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling or bruising.
- PRP is not suitable for everyone; consultation is required to confirm suitability.
- Treatments are not provided to anyone under 18.

Who May Be Suitable for PRP in Post-Treatment Recovery
PRP can be considered by adults (18+) who:
- Have recently had non-surgical aesthetic skin treatments such as microneedling, laser resurfacing, or chemical peels
- Would like extra support for skin that feels fragile, sensitive, or is showing signs of ageing
- Have a range of skin types and tones, where gentle recovery support is a priority
PRP is not suitable for individuals with active skin infections, certain systemic illnesses, or conditions that may affect normal healing.
Important to know:
- Results vary and no outcome can be guaranteed.
- Temporary redness, swelling or mild bruising are possible side effects.
- Your practitioner will discuss the safest timing and delivery method for you after reviewing your skin health and treatment history.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated form of your own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors, to stimulate healing, tissue repair, and collagen production in the targeted area.
How does PRP work?
A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma and concentrate the platelets. This platelet-rich solution is then re-injected into the area being treated. The high concentration of growth factors helps to stimulate cellular repair, promote collagen synthesis, and encourage natural regeneration.
What areas can PRP treat?
PRP can be used across a wide range of concerns, including:
• Hair loss and thinning (scalp)
• Facial rejuvenation (improving tone, texture, and fine lines)
• Tear trough rejuvenation
• Acne scars and skin texture
• Stretch marks and general scarring
• Skin laxity in the neck and décolletage
• Post-procedure healing and skin strengthening
What are the benefits of PRP treatment?
• Stimulates collagen and elastin production
• Improves skin tone, texture, and hydration
• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Restores volume in delicate areas (e.g., under eyes)
• Encourages hair follicle growth and density
• Reduces inflammation and promotes tissue repair
• Uses your body’s own natural healing response—no synthetic substances
How should I prepare for a PRP treatment?
• Stay well hydrated in the 24–48 hours before your appointment
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours prior
• Refrain from taking anti-inflammatories (e.g., ibuprofen, aspirin) for 48 hours beforehand unless medically required
• Avoid blood-thinning supplements (vitamin E, fish oil) for 3–5 days prior
• Ensure your scalp or skin is clean and free from active infections or irritations
• Eat a light meal before your appointment to minimise risk of dizziness during the blood draw
What to Expect During Your Treatment?
Consultation
• Your specialist at Haus of Ästhetik will begin with a detailed consultation, assessing your concerns, medical history, and the condition of the treatment area.
• For facial or scalp treatments, the skin and underlying structure will be examined; for hair loss, scalp health and pattern of thinning will be reviewed.
• A personalised treatment plan will be created to suit your goals, anatomy, and the most appropriate method of delivery.
Treatment Process
• For PRP procedures, a small sample of your blood will be taken—similar to a routine blood test.
• The sample is placed into a centrifuge, which spins for around 5–10 minutes to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the rest of the blood components.
• During this brief delay, your clinician may apply numbing cream or prepare the treatment area.
• Once the PRP is ready, it is carefully injected into the targeted area using fine needles or a micro-cannula, depending on the indication (e.g. scalp, under eyes, facial skin, or scar tissue).
• The entire procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Post-Treatment
• You may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity at the injection sites. These effects are normal and usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days.
• Some pinpoint bruising may occur, especially in delicate areas such as the under eyes or scalp.
• You can return to most daily activities immediately, although specific aftercare advice will be provided for optimal healing.
• Results develop gradually, as PRP stimulates cellular repair and collagen production:
• Subtle improvement may be seen after the first session
• Most clients notice visible benefits after 2–3 sessions, with progressive improvements over 2–6 months depending on the area and concern
Your practitioner will advise on the recommended treatment schedule and whether maintenance or combination therapy is suitable to enhance and sustain your results.
How long does a PRP procedure take?
The full treatment takes approximately 30–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. This includes the blood draw, centrifugation, and injections.
Is PRP treatment painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. For skin or facial treatments, a topical anaesthetic can be applied. Scalp treatments may cause brief stinging or pressure. Discomfort is generally short-lived.
What is the downtime after PRP?
Downtime is typically minimal. You may experience:
• Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site
• A feeling of tightness or tenderness for 24–72 hours
• For scalp treatments: temporary scalp sensitivity or minor crusting
Most clients resume normal activities the same day or next day.
How many treatments will I need?
• Hair Loss: 3–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 4–6 months
• Facial Rejuvenation / Scars: 3 sessions initially, then 1–2 annually
• Tear Trough / Eyes: Typically 2–3 sessions for visible improvement
• Scarring / Stretch Marks: 3–6 sessions, depending on severity and location
The number of sessions depends on your concerns, response, and treatment area.
When will I see results?
• Hair: Noticeable improvement after 2–3 sessions; full results typically visible in 3–6 months
• Skin / Face / Eyes: Initial glow or texture improvement within 1–2 weeks; collagen remodelling continues over 6–12 weeks
• Scars / Acne: Gradual improvement over 2–3 sessions, with ongoing skin renewal over several months
How long do PRP results last?
Results vary by treatment area and individual response, but typically:
• Hair regrowth lasts 6–12 months with maintenance
• Skin rejuvenation can last up to 12 months with good skincare
• Scar and texture improvements are long-lasting, though ongoing maintenance may be needed in cases of active skin conditions
Is PRP safe?
Yes. PRP is considered very safe because it uses your own blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reaction or disease transmission. All procedures are performed in a sterile, clinical environment by trained professionals.
Are there any risks or side effects?
PRP has a low risk profile. Possible side effects include:
• Mild swelling or bruising
• Temporary discomfort at injection sites
• Headache or tightness (more common in scalp treatments)
• Infection (rare, if post-care instructions are followed properly)
Can PRP be combined with other treatments?
Yes. PRP can enhance and support a range of treatments:
• Microneedling: Improves delivery and absorption of PRP in skin
• Polynucleotides: Can be alternated to maximise regeneration and skin quality
• Skin Boosters / Toxin: PRP complements hydration and firming treatments
• LED Therapy: May support healing and reduce inflammation post-procedure
Who is not suitable for PRP?
PRP may not be suitable if you:
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have blood disorders or platelet dysfunction
• Are undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy
• Have active skin infections or inflammation in the treatment area
• Have uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune conditions (consultation required)
What are common myths about PRP?
“PRP is the same as filler”
– False. PRP stimulates collagen and healing; it does not add volume like filler.
“Results are instant”
– False. PRP works over time to regenerate tissue. Results develop gradually over weeks to months.
“Only celebrities use PRP”
– False. PRP is widely accessible and used in medical and aesthetic practices worldwide.
“It doesn’t work”
– Incorrect. Clinical studies support PRP’s effectiveness in hair regrowth, skin rejuvenation, and scar treatment when properly indicated and administered.
How do I maintain my PRP results?
• Follow your practitioner’s maintenance schedule
• Use quality medical-grade skincare or hair care products
• Protect skin from sun exposure
• Maintain a healthy diet and avoid smoking
• Consider combining PRP with other regenerative or supportive treatments
