PRP : face and hair
PRP stimulates the natural repair of skin and scalp using your own blood, with no foreign product and no allergy risk.
The treatment
What is
PRP : face and hair?
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood as its raw material. The principle is straightforward: a small amount of blood is drawn, the fraction most concentrated in platelets is isolated by centrifugation, and it is then re-injected where the skin or scalp needs stimulating.
Platelets do more than clot. They contain growth factors, the molecules the body naturally releases to repair damaged tissue. By concentrating them and placing them precisely where they are needed, this repair mechanism is reactivated locally: collagen production, new blood vessel formation, better tissue quality.
On the face, PRP improves skin firmness and thickness, softens acne scarring and restores radiance to a dull or tired complexion. It is particularly suited to delicate areas such as the eye contour and neck, where the aim is to improve skin quality rather than restore volume. On the scalp, it addresses thinning hair and progressive hair loss, in women as well as men, by acting on follicles that are still active.
Its main strength lies in its origin. Because the product comes from you, there is no allergy risk and no foreign body introduced into the system. This is often what convinces patients who are reluctant to have dermal filler injections.
At the ono estetika clinic in Petit-Lancy, the protocol is tailored to the indication: a course of four sessions one month apart for the face, and a course of six sessions for the scalp, which responds more slowly and requires prolonged stimulation. In both cases, maintenance two to three times a year preserves the benefit. The initial consultation is a genuine medical assessment: the physician evaluates the indication, looks for an underlying cause of hair loss, iron deficiency, thyroid disorder, hormonal factor and tells you clearly what PRP can achieve in your situation, and what it will not. Where an area is permanently bald, there is no follicle left to stimulate.
How it works
The treatment
process.
Hydrate well the day before and on the morning of your appointment, and do not come fasting: the quality of the sample depends directly on it. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and anti-inflammatories for five days, as they reduce platelet activity. Tell the physician about any clotting disorder, anticoagulant therapy, blood disease, cancer under treatment, active infection or pregnancy. Come with clean, unstyled hair if the scalp is being treated.
The physician takes a blood sample from the crook of the elbow, exactly as in a laboratory test. The tube is placed in a centrifuge for around ten minutes, separating the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components. Meanwhile, the anaesthetic cream applied at the start of the session takes effect. The plasma is then re-injected through micro-injections spaced evenly across the treatment area, or combined with microneedling on the face to improve its diffusion into the dermis. The entire preparation takes place in a closed, sterile system.
Redness, warmth and slight swelling last a few hours and resolve on their own. Do not wash your hair for twelve hours after a scalp session, and avoid make-up for twelve hours after a facial session. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and sun exposure for 48 hours. Do not take anti-inflammatories in the following days, so as not to interfere with the regeneration process.
