What is PRP therapy and how does it help with skin rejuvenation or hair loss

There are always new treatments in dermatology and aesthetic medicine that use the body’s own healing power in amazing ways. A lot of people are talking about Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy, or PRP therapy for short. If you want to deal with hair loss, restore density, or make your skin feel and look better, PRP is an interesting option that is less invasive. We’ve seen at NewDermamed how this method can help people who want results that look natural based on biology. In this post, we’ll talk about what PRP therapy is, how it works for hair loss and skin rejuvenation, the treatment process, who it’s best for, what results to expect, and how to use it wisely.

What you should know about platelet rich plasma

PRP therapy works by taking a small sample of your blood and processing it to concentrate the platelets. Platelets are tiny cell fragments that are very important for healing and growth. When the platelets are concentrated and turned on, they release signalling proteins and growth factors that help tissues heal. Since the material is your own blood, the chances of an allergic reaction or rejection are very low.

What makes PRP so popular right now

Doctors first used PRP to fix tendons and ligaments in sports medicine, but they quickly learned that it could also help with hair restoration and cosmetic procedures. The appeal is that there isn’t much downtime, the ingredients are natural, and the body can heal itself instead of relying on synthetic products. We at NewDermamed believe that the link between natural healing and medical accuracy is what makes PRP so unique.

How PRP helps your hair-loss

How hair loss happens

Let’s go over the basics of hair growth and loss before we talk about how PRP works. There are three stages that hair follicles go through:
• Growth (anagen)
• Transition (catagen)
• Resting/shedding (telogen)

As we age or go through hormonal changes like androgenetic alopecia, the anagen phase gets shorter, the follicles get smaller (miniaturize), and the hair gets thinner and less pigmented.

How PRP helps hair grow back

When injected into the scalp, the concentrated platelets release growth factors such as PDGF, EGF, and VEGF. These make the scalp’s microenvironment better, boost blood flow, and wake up hair follicles that have been sleeping. PRP therapy for hair growth can:
• Improve blood flow and the delivery of nutrients to hair follicles
• Reduce swelling around hair roots
• Encourage the growth of new hair shafts and make them thicker
• Help grafts stay alive after a hair transplant

Profiles of candidates and what to expect

Hair PRP therapy is a good option for people who:
• Are men or women with early to moderate thinning hair instead of advanced baldness
• Are looking for natural, non-surgical solutions
• Want to improve the results of hair transplants
• Have realistic expectations of gradual improvement

Most plans say that treatments should happen once a month for three to four months, and then maintenance should happen every four to six months. After a few months, you should see a big difference as the follicles react to the stimulation.

How PRP helps your skin look younger

How skin repair works

PRP works to make skin look younger by injecting or microneedling concentrated growth factors deep into the dermis. These growth factors wake up fibroblasts, make more collagen and elastin, improve blood flow, and help skin cells grow back. Because of this, PRP helps fight the effects of aging, sun damage, and stress from the environment.

Uses

PRP therapy works well for:
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven texture and tone
• Acne scars and other mild scarring
• Skin that looks dull or tired
• Skin that has lost its firmness and elasticity

Normal procedure

A skin-focused PRP session usually has the following:

1. A consultation and skin checkup
2. A small blood test
3. Centrifugation to separate the platelet-rich plasma
4. Cleaning and numbing the skin
5. Putting PRP on the skin with microneedling or direct injection
6. Instructions for aftercare (protecting your skin from the sun and being gentle with it)

There isn’t much downtime, and redness or swelling only lasts a short time. The results show up slowly as the skin gets smoother and more radiant as collagen builds up.

What to expect from PRP therapy at NewDermamed

Individualized consultation and treatment plan

At Newdermamed, each PRP treatment is made just for you. During your consultation, we’ll go over:
• Your medical history and any underlying factors (like hormones or medications)
• The level of hair loss or skin problems
• What you want to happen and what you expect

After that, we’ll make a personalized treatment plan that may include PRP along with other advanced therapies like microneedling, laser treatments, or topical medications.

During your visit

Here’s what a typical PRP session looks like:
• A quick and simple blood draw
• Onsite preparation of PRP using specialized centrifugation
• Targeted delivery through scalp injections (for hair) or microneedling (for skin)
• Minimal downtime with immediate return to normal activity

Safety side effects and results

Because PRP comes from your own blood, allergic reactions are very rare. Possible minor effects include redness, swelling, or tenderness that subsides within 24 hours.

Keep in mind:
• Results vary by age, biology, and condition severity
• PRP is not an instant fix, but rather a regenerative boost
• Regular maintenance helps sustain long-term results
• Choosing a certified, experienced provider ensures the best outcome

At Newdermamed, we focus on safety, transparency, and long-term care for each client.

Comparing PRP for hair vs skin

Core similarities

Both PRP therapies:
• Use your own blood-derived platelets
• Stimulate natural regeneration
• Require consistency for optimal results
• Offer minimal downtime and a high safety profile

Key differences

• Target Area: Hair PRP focuses on the scalp and follicles, while skin PRP targets the dermis and surface layers
• Application Method: Hair PRP uses scalp injections, skin PRP uses microneedling or direct facial injections
• Treatment Frequency: Hair PRP typically requires monthly sessions then maintenance, skin PRP often involves two to three initial sessions followed by yearly touch-ups
• Goals: Hair PRP promotes hair density and strength, skin PRP improves tone, texture, and radiance
• Visible Results: Hair results may appear in 4–6 months, skin rejuvenation results can start showing within weeks and improve over time

Choosing the right treatment

If you’re experiencing hair thinning or early hair loss, PRP therapy for hair growth is ideal. If your concern is dullness, wrinkles, or uneven texture, PRP skin rejuvenation can restore your glow naturally. At NewDermamed, our experts can guide you through both options or combine them for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Realistic expectations and the holistic approach

Setting practical goals

PRP therapy works best as part of a broader wellness and beauty plan.

For hair, focus on:
• Balanced nutrition and scalp health
• Managing stress and hormones
• Regular maintenance treatments

For skin, support PRP with:
• Consistent sun protection
• Proper hydration and medical-grade skincare
• Healthy lifestyle choices and sleep

Results take time, but with consistency and care, the improvements are long-lasting and natural-looking.

Combining treatments for enhanced results

PRP can be combined with other treatments to amplify benefits:
• Hair PRP can complement laser therapy, growth serums, or hair transplants
• Skin PRP pairs beautifully with microneedling, laser resurfacing, and chemical peels

At NewDermamed, our specialists create holistic plans that maximize your investment and deliver truly rejuvenated results.
