Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has become one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, and overall youthful appearance. At The Medispa, our medically led PRP treatments provide safe, customised, and high-quality care for clients across the UK.

PRP uses your own blood to stimulate natural healing and regeneration, improving hair growth, skin texture, and reducing signs of ageing. This therapy is suitable for both men and women seeking natural, long-lasting results without invasive procedures.

What is PRP Therapy?

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, which is a concentration of platelets and growth factors extracted from your own blood. When applied to targeted areas, PRP stimulates:

• Collagen production
  
  

• Hair follicle regeneration
  
  

• Skin cell repair
  
  

• Healing and rejuvenation
  
  

Because PRP uses your own blood, the treatment is considered very safe and reduces the risk of allergic reactions or complications.

How PRP Works

The procedure involves three main steps:

1. Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
   
   

2. Centrifugation: The blood is processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
   
   

3. Application: The PRP is injected or applied to the treatment area (scalp for hair, face for skin rejuvenation).
   
   

The growth factors in PRP stimulate your body’s natural healing processes, improving hair density and skin quality over time.

PRP for Hair Restoration

PRP has gained popularity as a non-surgical solution for thinning hair and hair loss. It is particularly effective for:

• Early-stage androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss)
  
  

• Thinning hair due to stress or hormonal changes
  
  

• Post-surgery hair restoration support
  
  

At The Medispa, our trained medical professionals ensure precise application to the scalp, enhancing follicle activity and promoting natural hair regrowth.

Benefits of PRP for Hair:

• Increased hair density
  
  

• Strengthened hair roots
  
  

• Reduced hair shedding
  
  

• Natural-looking results without surgery
  
  

PRP for Skin Rejuvenation

PRP is also known as the “Vampire Facial” because it rejuvenates the skin naturally. When applied to the face, PRP:

• Stimulates collagen and elastin production
  
  

• Improves skin texture and tone
  
  

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  
  

• Minimises acne scars and pigmentation
  
  

• Restores youthful glow
  
  

The procedure is non-invasive, with minimal downtime. Clients often see gradual improvements after 2–3 sessions, with optimal results over multiple treatments.

Who Can Benefit from PRP?

PRP is suitable for adults looking for:

• Thicker hair and improved scalp health
  
  

• Younger-looking, healthier skin
  
  

• Reduction of scars or pigmentation
  
  

• Natural, non-surgical aesthetic improvements
  
  

A consultation at The Medispa ensures PRP is appropriate for your specific goals and health profile.

PRP vs Other Treatments

• Microneedling: PRP is often combined with microneedling for enhanced skin rejuvenation. Microneedling alone stimulates collagen, but PRP adds growth factors for faster and more visible results.
  
  

• PRP vs Hair Transplants: PRP is non-surgical and ideal for early-stage hair loss, while transplants are for advanced baldness. PRP can also support hair transplant recovery.
