PRP Injections for Skin & Hair
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to support the body’s natural healing and renewal. A small sample of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate out the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the skin or scalp.
In the skin, those growth factors can stimulate collagen production and help improve texture, tone, and elasticity. In the scalp, PRP is used to support hair follicles and may help improve hair density in cases of thinning. Because it uses your own biological material, PRP is generally well tolerated.
At SKN MD, PRP is prepared and administered by our nurse injectors under medical direction. A typical course involves a series of sessions (commonly 3–6, individualized to your goals), each taking about 15–30 minutes. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites is common and usually resolves within a few hours to a few days. Results develop gradually over the following weeks as the tissue responds.
PRP is often combined with microneedling, biostimulators and skin boosters. Every treatment begins with a medical consultation.

Results begin to be visible after the first session, with continued improvement over the sessions.
Treatment is generally well tolerated, with a slight stinging sensation during injections. A topical anesthetic may be used to minimize discomfort.
There is virtually no recovery time required. You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment, although some redness and swelling may persist for a few hours.
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, can be used to treat a variety of areas on the body. Commonly, PRP is applied to the scalp to help with hair growth and to the face for rejuvenation, often referred to as a ‘vampire facial.’ It can also be effective for treating fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture and tone.
Beyond cosmetic applications, PRP is used in orthopedics to treat joint, tendon, and ligament injuries by promoting healing. Each treatment area can benefit from PRP’s ability to stimulate natural healing and cell growth, making it a versatile option for both aesthetic and therapeutic purposes.
