Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Skin Rejuvenation, Under-Eye Refreshment & Hair Restoration

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative treatment that uses concentrated growth factors taken from your own blood to support natural skin renewal and healthier hair growth. At Retriva Aesthetic Clinic, PRP is used to improve skin quality, support collagen production, soften the appearance of fine lines and help address hair thinning with a personalised treatment approach.

What Is PRP Therapy?

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. The treatment begins with a small blood sample, which is processed to isolate the platelet-rich portion containing concentrated growth factors. This plasma is then introduced into the treatment area to help stimulate repair, support collagen production and encourage healthier tissue regeneration.

Because PRP is derived from your own blood, it is often chosen by patients looking for a more natural treatment option for both skin and hair concerns. Treatment plans can be tailored depending on whether the focus is facial rejuvenation, under-eye improvement, acne scarring or hair thinning.

What Can PRP Help With?

PRP therapy is a versatile treatment used to support skin renewal and scalp health. It may be recommended for patients who want to improve overall skin quality or address early signs of thinning hair in a natural and minimally invasive way.

Dull, tired or dehydrated-looking skin
Fine lines and early signs of ageing
Uneven texture and acne scarring
Under-eye skin quality concerns
Loss of firmness and radiance
Hair thinning and early hair loss
Overall skin rejuvenation and glow

Why Choose PRP

PRP works with your body’s own regenerative processes rather than creating an artificial result. This makes it a popular option for people who want subtle, progressive improvement in skin tone, texture and overall skin quality.

For hair restoration, PRP is commonly used to stimulate the scalp and support healthier-looking growth. For facial rejuvenation, it may help improve texture, radiance and the appearance of tired skin over time.

Many people choose PRP when they are looking for a treatment with minimal downtime that can be incorporated into a wider skin or hair treatment plan.

What To Expect During Treatment

Your appointment will begin with a consultation to assess your concerns and confirm whether PRP is suitable for you. A small blood sample is then taken and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood.

Once prepared, the PRP is carefully introduced into the chosen treatment area. Depending on the treatment plan, this may involve targeted injections or application after skin preparation. Treatment time varies depending on the area being treated.

Most people find PRP treatment manageable. Topical numbing may be used where appropriate to improve comfort, particularly when treating delicate facial areas or the scalp.

PRP Aftercare & Recovery

PRP usually involves minimal downtime. Some people experience temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or mild bruising in the treated area. These effects are generally short-lived and settle within a few days.

Aftercare advice will depend on whether the treatment has been performed for the face or scalp. Full guidance will be provided at your appointment, including what to avoid immediately after treatment and how to support the best possible recovery.

How Many PRP Sessions Will I Need?

Many people benefit from a course of treatments rather than a single session. A typical plan may involve 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments where appropriate.

The recommended number of sessions will depend on your treatment goals, the area being treated and your starting point. Your practitioner will advise on a personalised treatment plan during consultation.
