What Is PRP?
Your Own Plasma
Treatment uses plasma and platelets separated from a small sample of your own blood.
PRP stands for platelet rich plasma. It uses plasma and platelets obtained from a small sample of your own blood.
After the blood sample is taken, it is processed in a centrifuge. This separates the components required for treatment from the rest of the sample.
The selected plasma and platelet components are then administered into the area being treated. The aim is to support natural cellular activity, repair processes and tissue quality.
At Hart Skin & Wellness Centre, PRP may be considered for facial skin quality and selected hair and scalp concerns.
Centrifuge Process
The blood sample is processed in a centrifuge to separate the components required for treatment.
Skin Quality
PRP may support improvements in skin tone, texture and firmness when used as a facial treatment.
Hair & Scalp
Treatment may also be considered for selected hair-thinning and hair-loss concerns following an appropriate assessment.
What Can PRP Address?
Skin and Scalp Support
When used as a facial treatment, PRP may support improvements in overall skin quality, including tone, texture and firmness.
Because the treatment uses components derived from your own blood, its purpose is to support the body’s natural cellular and repair activity rather than add facial volume.
PRP may also be considered for selected hair-thinning and hair-loss concerns. Treatment is administered to the scalp following an assessment of the pattern of hair loss and the result the patient hopes to achieve.
Not every skin, hair or scalp concern will respond in the same way. The expected benefits and limitations should be discussed before treatment begins.
Sun Damage
PRP may be considered where sun exposure has contributed to visible changes in overall skin quality.
Uneven Skin Tone
PRP is used to support overall skin quality, including improvements in the appearance of skin tone.
Skin Texture
Treatment may help improve overall skin texture as part of a regenerative approach to facial skin quality.
Loss of Firmness
The existing treatment information identifies improved skin tightness as a potential benefit of PRP.
Hair Thinning
PRP can also be used on the scalp as part of a treatment approach for hair thinning.
Facial Hollows
The current treatment information describes PRP as potentially supporting cheek and under-eye hollows through its effects on the treated tissue.
Individual Assessment
Who Is PRP Suitable For?
PRP may suit people who want to improve general facial skin quality, firmness, texture or tone using components obtained from their own blood.
It may also be considered by people experiencing selected forms of hair thinning or hair loss.
Suitability depends on the individual concern, medical history and treatment area. Hair loss can have different causes, so an appropriate assessment is particularly important before recommending scalp treatment.
Your consultation will establish whether PRP is appropriate and whether another treatment, further investigation or a combined approach should be considered.

Common Questions
What Happens During PRP Treatment?
The appointment begins with a consultation and assessment of the skin or scalp concern being treated.
A small blood sample is taken and placed into a centrifuge. The centrifuge separates the plasma and platelet components required for treatment.
Once prepared, these components are administered into the selected facial or scalp area according to your treatment plan.
The exact appointment length, treatment area and recommended course will depend on the concern being addressed. These details should be confirmed during consultation rather than assumed in advance.
What Will Results & Aftercare Look Like?
PRP supports natural cellular activity, so results are expected to develop progressively rather than appear as an immediate change in facial volume or hair density.
The type and timing of improvement will depend on whether the treatment is being used for skin quality or a hair and scalp concern.
Some patients may be advised to complete a course of appointments or attend maintenance treatments. The number and spacing of visits should be recommended after an individual assessment.
You will receive aftercare guidance for the treated area. Follow this carefully and contact the clinic if you have any unexpected symptoms or concerns after your appointment.
Why Choose Hart Skin & Wellness Centre?
Regenerative treatments should be recommended according to the concern being treated, not simply because they are popular.
At Hart Skin & Wellness Centre, your skin, hair or scalp concern will be assessed before a treatment plan is recommended. You will receive honest guidance about what PRP may realistically improve and whether another option should be considered.
The treatment process, likely course and aftercare requirements will be explained before you decide whether to proceed.
What is the difference between PRGF and PRP?
Both treatments use plasma and platelets obtained from your own blood. PRGF means Plasma Rich in Growth Factors, while PRP means platelet-rich plasma. The terminology and preparation process will be explained during consultation.
Can PRP be used on the face?
Yes. It may be considered to support facial skin tone, texture, firmness and general skin quality.
Can it help with hair thinning?
PRP may be considered for selected hair-thinning and hair-loss concerns. Suitability depends on the cause and pattern of hair loss, so assessment is required.
Are the results immediate?
The treatment supports natural cellular and repair activity, so changes develop progressively. The timing varies according to the area and concern being treated.
How many appointments will I need?
The number and spacing of appointments should be recommended following an individual consultation.
Does the treatment use donor blood?
No. The plasma and platelets used for treatment are obtained from a small sample of your own blood.
