Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment used in dermatology and hair restoration. It involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it through centrifugation to concentrate platelets and growth factors, and reinjecting the PRP into selected treatment areas using fine needles.
In aesthetic dermatology, PRP may be used to support skin quality, texture, and collagen production. It can be incorporated into treatment plans for concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, and skin quality, including delicate areas such as the under-eyes and areas of the face, neck, hands, and body.
PRP is also used in hair restoration as an adjunctive treatment for certain types of hair loss. It may support hair follicle activity, scalp health, and the hair growth cycle, and can be combined with other medical hair-loss treatments depending on the clinical assessment.
A PRP session typically takes approximately 30–40 minutes. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur temporarily, with downtime varying according to the treatment area and individual response.
A course of treatment may involve monthly sessions followed by maintenance treatments, depending on the patient’s condition, treatment plan, and clinical response.
At the clinics of Dr. Dany Touma, PRP treatments are performed by dermatologists within a medical setting, with treatment protocols tailored to the patient’s skin or hair concerns and overall treatment plan.
