PRP Therapy for Skin & Hair
A regenerative treatment that supports skin repair and hair health – guided responsibly and tailored to
individual needs.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is an autologous treatment - meaning it uses components derived
from your own blood - to support natural repair and rejuvenation processes.
The treatment involves
concentrating platelets and growth factors from a small blood sample and applying them to targeted areas
of the skin or scalp.
PRP has gained substantial scientific backing in recent years, with clinical studies
demonstrating benefits for both hair restoration and skin rejuvenation.
At ZARS, PRP is offered
thoughtfully - only when it aligns with the individual’s concern and is likely to provide meaningful benefit.
WHO IT MAY SUIT
PRP therapy may be suitable for individuals experiencing hair thinning or early-stage hair loss, those wanting to improve skin texture and quality, people looking for minimally invasive options for rejuvenation, individuals with acne scarring seeking improvement, or those comfortable with a gradual, natural approach to improvement.
PRP is particularly well-supported by evidence for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) in both men and women, and for skin rejuvenation including improvement in texture, pore size, and fine lines.
HOW IT’S APPROACHED AT ZARS
At ZARS, PRP is recommended selectively – not as a one-size-fits-all solution. Treatment planning considers the individual’s specific concern, medical history, and expected response.
Protocols are conservative, and expectations are discussed clearly before treatment begins. The PRP preparation process follows standardised protocols to ensure optimal platelet concentration.
For hair concerns, PRP may be combined with medical therapy (such as minoxidil or nutritional support) for enhanced outcomes. For skin rejuvenation, PRP may be combined with microneedling for improved absorption and results.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before: A consultation to discuss your concerns and assess suitability. You should be well-hydrated and have eaten before the procedure.
During: A small blood sample is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelet-rich plasma. The PRP is then injected or applied to the target area. The procedure typically takes 45–60 minutes.
After: Mild redness, tenderness, or swelling at the treatment site is normal and usually resolves within 1–2 days. You can return to most activities immediately.
RESULTS & EXPECTATIONS
PRP supports gradual improvement over multiple sessions. For hair concerns, improvements in density and shedding reduction may become noticeable after 3–6 months.
For skin, improvements in texture and tone develop progressively. Results vary based on individual condition and response.
PRP is not a quick fix, and maintenance sessions are typically recommended to sustain benefits.
FAQS
Is PRP safe?
Yes. PRP uses your own blood, so the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is minimal. It is a well- established procedure in both dermatology and regenerative medicine.
How many PRP sessions are needed?
A typical course involves 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–12 months. The exact plan depends on your concern.
Is PRP painful?
Discomfort is usually mild. Topical numbing may be applied to the treatment area. Most patients find the procedure quite tolerable.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments?
Yes. PRP is often combined with microneedling for skin rejuvenation or with medical therapy for hair loss for enhanced results.
