Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Harness your own blood's healing power to stimulate collagen, improve skin quality, and support hair restoration — naturally.
Maintenance: every 6–12 months, based on your treatment goals.
What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Your blood contains platelets — tiny cells that rush to any injury and release powerful growth factors that trigger healing and tissue repair. PRP simply concentrates these platelets and puts them to work where you want renewal.
A small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge, separating out a plasma rich in platelets. When reintroduced into the skin or scalp, those growth factors stimulate collagen production, accelerate repair and encourage healthier cell turnover.
Because PRP is prepared entirely from your own blood, it is considered a natural, regenerative treatment — working with your biology rather than relying on synthetic injectables. Unlike fillers, which add volume immediately, PRP improves the skin's quality from within over time.
Blood Draw
A small sample of your own blood is collected, just like a routine blood test.
Centrifuge
The sample is spun in a medical-grade centrifuge to separate its components.
Separation
Platelet-rich plasma — concentrated with growth factors — is isolated from the rest.
Application
The PRP is then injected or combined with microneedling into the treatment area.
Benefits of PRP Treatment
PRP works with your biology to renew skin and hair from the inside out — a versatile, natural option with a strong safety profile.
Activates your skin's natural collagen production for firmer, healthier skin over time.
Refines overall skin quality and resilience, working from within rather than on the surface.
Helps revive dull, tired skin for a fresher, more radiant complexion.
Encourages renewal that gently smooths early fine lines and creping.
Supports a smoother, more even surface as the skin remodels.
Aids tissue repair to soften the appearance of acne scars, especially with microneedling.
Growth factors speed the skin's natural recovery and regeneration.
Nourishes follicles to encourage healthier, fuller-looking hair.
Uses your own blood, greatly reducing the chance of allergic reaction — with minimal downtime.
How Does PRP Work?
From a simple blood draw to lasting collagen renewal — here is exactly what happens, step by step.
Blood Collected
A small blood sample is drawn from your arm, exactly like a standard blood test.
Placed in Centrifuge
The sample is loaded into a medical-grade centrifuge that spins at high speed.
Plasma Separated
The platelet-rich plasma is carefully separated from the other blood components.
Area Prepared
The treatment area is cleansed and numbed with topical cream for comfort.
PRP Applied
PRP is injected or combined with microneedling across the treatment area.
Regeneration Begins
Growth factors stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration over the weeks that follow.
Skin begins healing
Improved texture
Visible collagen remodelling
Peak improvements

PRP Treatment FAQ
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative treatment that uses concentrated platelets drawn from your own blood. These platelets release growth factors that stimulate collagen production and tissue repair, making PRP useful for skin rejuvenation, acne scars, fine lines and hair restoration.
PRP is considered very safe because it uses your own blood, which greatly reduces the risk of allergic reaction or rejection. At Nuvo Clinic it is performed by trained medical practitioners using sterile, medical-grade protocols. As with any procedure there are minor risks, which we discuss fully at consultation.
Fillers add volume using synthetic materials such as hyaluronic acid for an immediate, structural result. PRP works differently — it uses your bodyu2019s own growth factors to gradually stimulate collagen and improve skin quality from within, for natural-looking improvements over time.
Most patients tolerate PRP well. A topical numbing cream can be applied to keep the treatment comfortable, and you may feel only mild pressure or a light pinprick sensation during injection or microneedling.
Most treatment plans involve 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, though this varies by individual and by your goals. Maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months help sustain results.
Results develop gradually as collagen remodels, with peak improvements usually visible around three to six months. With a maintenance session every 6 to 12 months, results can be sustained over the long term.
Yes. PRP supports tissue repair and collagen remodelling, which can soften the appearance of acne scars — especially when combined with microneedling or fractional laser for resurfacing.
PRP can support healthier hair growth and is often used for early-stage hair thinning. Growth factors are delivered to the scalp to nourish follicles. Results vary by individual and PRP is most effective when started early, as part of a wider hair restoration plan.
Downtime is minimal, typically 1 to 3 days. You may experience mild redness, swelling or tenderness in the treated area, which usually settles quickly.
Yes. PRP is frequently combined with fractional CO2 laser, Pico laser or microneedling to enhance results. The growth factors support faster healing and amplify collagen stimulation. Combination treatments are personalised to your concerns.
PRP is generally suitable for adults who want natural skin rejuvenation or to address early signs of ageing, acne scars or hair thinning. Suitability is confirmed during a medical consultation.
Yes. PRP is suitable for both men and women, for skin rejuvenation as well as hair restoration.
Side effects are usually mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness at the treated area. Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is very low.
We generally advise avoiding makeup for the first 24 hours after treatment to let the skin settle. Your doctor will give you specific aftercare guidance based on your treatment.
PRP may not be suitable for people with active skin infections, certain blood disorders, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, individuals on certain anticoagulant medications, or specific medical conditions requiring clearance. A medical assessment confirms suitability.
