Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy — A Regenerative Treatment Approach
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a treatment that uses growth factors derived from a patient’s own blood to support tissue repair and regeneration. At Kosaa Clinic, PRP is offered as a treatment option for skin rejuvenation and hair loss concerns, subject to a clinical consultation and assessment. Because PRP is prepared from the patient’s own blood, it avoids the introduction of synthetic substances — however, like all medical treatments, it carries considerations that are discussed with each patient at consultation.
Individual results vary. A clinical consultation and assessment is required before any PRP treatment proceeds. Treatment may not be suitable for all individuals.
Who May Be Considered for PRP Treatment?
PRP treatment may be considered for individuals experiencing:
- Hair thinning or hair loss concerns, assessed as potentially suitable for PRP
- Skin concerns such as reduced tone, texture irregularities, or fine lines
- Acne scarring or uneven skin texture, where assessed as appropriate
- A preference for a treatment approach using the patient's own biological material rather than synthetic substances
PRP Treatment Options at Kosaa Clinic
PRP for Skin Rejuvenation
PRP may be applied to the face — in conjunction with microneedling or via targeted injection — with the aim of supporting collagen production and cellular activity. This approach is used to address skin quality concerns including fine lines, texture, and overall radiance. A consultation and skin assessment is required to determine whether this approach is appropriate for your skin concerns and goals. Outcomes vary between individuals.
PRP for Hair Loss
PRP injections to the scalp are used in the management of certain types of hair loss, with the aim of delivering growth factors to the follicle area. This approach may be considered for clients with androgenetic alopecia or diffuse thinning, subject to clinical assessment. PRP for hair loss is sometimes used as part of a broader treatment plan. Your practitioner will advise on what to expect based on your individual presentation.
How the PRP Treatment Process Works
PRP treatment involves the following stages:
Step 1 — Consultation & Clinical Assessment
Your skin or scalp is assessed by a qualified practitioner to determine whether PRP is appropriate for your concerns. A treatment plan is discussed — including the recommended number of sessions, whether PRP is combined with other therapies, and what outcomes you may realistically expect. All risks and considerations are explained before any treatment is agreed.
Step 2 — Blood Collection & PRP Preparation
A small volume of blood is collected from the arm using standard venepuncture technique — similar to a routine blood test. The sample is processed using a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. This preparation stage is completed in-clinic.
Step 3 — Treatment Application
The prepared PRP is applied to the target area — via microneedling channels for skin treatments, or via fine scalp injections for hair-related concerns. The procedure is conducted by a qualified practitioner using clinical technique. A topical numbing agent may be applied beforehand for comfort.
Step 4 — Aftercare & Recovery
Common post-treatment responses include temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at the treatment site, which typically resolves within one to two days. Recovery experience varies between individuals. Most clients are able to return to normal daily activities the same day, though your practitioner will advise specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment. A course of sessions is generally recommended; frequency and number are determined at consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP treatment considered safe?
Because PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is low. However, as with any medical procedure involving injections, risks exist and are discussed with each patient at consultation. PRP treatment at Kosaa Clinic is performed by qualified practitioners following clinical protocols.
How many sessions are typically recommended?
The recommended number and frequency of sessions varies depending on the treatment area and individual presentation. This is determined at consultation — your practitioner will outline a recommended plan based on your assessment rather than a fixed protocol.
What level of discomfort is involved?
The blood collection process is similar to a standard blood test. A topical numbing agent is applied before scalp injections or microneedling where appropriate. Discomfort tolerance varies between individuals and will be discussed at consultation.
When might I expect to notice any change?
Any response to PRP treatment is gradual and varies between individuals, particularly for hair-related concerns. Your practitioner will discuss realistic timelines and what changes, if any, may be observable based on your individual circumstances. No specific outcome or timeframe can be guaranteed.
Can PRP be used alongside other treatments?
PRP may be used as part of a broader treatment plan in some cases. Whether a combined approach is appropriate is assessed at consultation. Your practitioner will advise on what is clinically suitable for your goals and presentation.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRP AND PRF?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are both regenerative hair restoration treatments that use the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth. PRF is considered a more advanced version as it contains a higher concentration of healing cells and releases growth factors more slowly over time, while PRP provides faster delivery of concentrated platelets to the treatment area.
