PRP treatment under way
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment – nicknamed ‘the vampire treatment’ – is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure involving the reinjection of Platelet Rich Plasma taken from a person’s own blood into areas of the face, neck and other areas to treat wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin. It does not involve knives, nips or tucks, but has the rejuvenating effect of surgery, boosting the creation of new blood cells and collagen.
The Platelet Rich Plasma procedure involves a medical professional taking a small amount of blood from a person’s arm, in the same way as taking blood for a standard blood test. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge machine at high speed until the red and white blood cells have separated – a process that produces a plasma rich with platelets (very small cells which stimulate the growth of more cells). This Platelet Rich Plasma is then reinjected into the patients face, neck and décolletage or other areas of concern (i.e. backs of hands etc.) it can also treat dark circles under eyes and some scars.
When they are injected into the skin, the platelets release growth factors – proteins which trigger the surrounding cells to proliferate. This in turn stimulates the repair of cells and increases the volume and rejuvenation of the skin. The growth factors induce collagen production and elastin, resulting in new skin cells being formed and thus an improvement in skin elasticity.
Following the injection of the plasma into the skin to treat and lift deeper lines a dermaroller is used to create micro-channels in the dermis in order to allow deeper absorption of the plasma into the skin tissue.
For optimum results three treatments are recommended between 4 – 6 weeks apart.
Does it hurt?
There may be slight discomfort around the site of the injections but anaesthetic is mixed with the plasma before injection and topical anaesthetic can be used on the remainder of skin where micro- needling will be carried out.
How long does the procedure take?
Patients should allow 45 minutes to 1 hour for the treatment
Are there any side effects?
Bruising is usually minor. Swelling is to be expected but usually settles down in 1 – 2 days’ time except around the eyes that can take 4 – 7 days to subside completely. There may be a slight purple discolouration of the skin for 2-3 days due to the colour of the patient’s plasma
Is it suitable for everyone?
This treatment is suitable for most people but not those with the following conditions:
The following conditions may also reduce the results of the treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
Patients will need a course of 3 treatments with 4 -6 weeks between each treatment. Maintenance treatments may be needed every 6months although periods will vary between patients.
How quickly will I see results?
Improvements may be seen a few days after each treatment but maximum improvement will be seen 2 -3 months after the third treatment.

PRP Face treatment under way I had my first treatment 7 days ago and was pleasantly surprised at how little discomfort I felt. I was nervous when the first needle went in but soon found that this felt no more than a slight prick. The taking of the blood was a quick and easy procedure and as Saria the nurse talked me through the whole process I soon felt relaxed and at ease. After the treatment my skin was slightly swollen and a purplish red but this went down within 24 hours. After 7 days I feel there is some minor improvement to the lines around my eyes but I am fully aware that the course of treatment needs to be completed and then a further 2 -3 months go by before I am likely to see the full benefits. I can’t wait for my second treatment to get nearer to my goal of reducing my lines and wrinkles especially around my eyes.
PRP treatment in Dubai or platelet rich plasma treatment is relatively new in Dubai but the same concept has been around especially in the wound healing scientific research community for the past 10-20 years in some way shape or form. PRP is based on the principle that normal human blood contains many different particles known as cells, e.g., red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. While red blood cells or RBCs are a major transporter of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, white blood cells or WBCs are the main defense force to fight against germs in the body. The third type of cells called as platelets are a major source of many growth factors and also help to stop bleeding thus their low level in Dangue fever can cause dangerous bleeding. Platelets' role in the production of many valuable growth factors has been recognized by the medical research community for well over two decades and one example is the production of PDGF or Platelet derived Growth Factor produced by the platelets that helps wounds to heal in many different ways.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become a newer method in Dubai for the treatment of various types of alopecia. In this prospective study, safety, efficacy and feasibility of PRP injections in treating androgenic alopecia were assessed. Eleven patients suffering from hair loss due to androgenic alopecia and not responding to 6 months treatment with minoxidil and finasteride were included in this study. The hair pull test was performed before every treatment session. A total volume of 2-3 cc PRP was injected in the scalp by using an insulin syringe. The treatment was repeated every two weeks, for a total of four times. The outcome was assessed after 3 months by clinical examination, macroscopic photos, hair pull test and patient's overall satisfaction.
A significant reduction in hair loss was observed between first and fourth injection. Hair count increased from average number of 71 hair follicular units to 93 hair follicular units. Therefore, average mean gain is 22.09 follicular units per cm2. After the fourth session, the pull test was negative in 9 patients.
Type of Baldness:
There are many people who experience more than average hair loss. Such complete or partial loss of hair is called alopecia. Below are the types of baldness..
Involutional alopecia :
In this type the hair growth becomes slow as you grow this reduces the volume and thickness. The hair follicles slowly go in the (resting) phase.
Telogen effluvium :
This will give you a temporary hair loss from days to months after a strained incident like fever, childbirth, stress, severe illness, or unexpected weight loss, which decreases slowly in a few months. Such kind of hair loss is known as telogen effluvium.
Traction alopecia :
Baldness may also take place due to pressure on hair this may lead to tiny, localised areas of hair loss. This kind of hair loss is known as traction alopecia.
Circumscribed:
This baldness occurs when the protected system starts to bother hair follicles, leading to hair fall.
Androgenic alopecia :
This affects to both men and women. It causes loss and thinning of hairs on the entire scalp. Women experience this occurrence as a diffuse alopecia. More than 40% of people get this type of Androgenic alopecia.
PRP injection is a simple, cost effective and feasible treatment option for androgenic alopecia, with high overall patient satisfaction.
