PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP): MY REGENERATIVE APPROACH TO SKIN AND HAIR RESTORATION

Why I use a closed PRP system, how it supports hair transplant results, and why combining injections with microneedling matters.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used in medicine for many years, but in aesthetics and hair restoration it has evolved significantly. What hasn’t changed is the principle: using your body’s own healing factors to stimulate repair, regeneration, and growth.
REGENERATE NATURALLY.
In my clinic at Moreton Aesthetics, PRP remains one of the most versatile regenerative treatments I offer. I use it for both skin rejuvenation and hair restoration, and increasingly as a supportive treatment before and after hair transplant surgery.
One important difference in my approach is that I use a closed PRP system (Cellenis® PRP), and that choice is deliberate.
What Is PRP?
PRP is created by taking a small sample of your blood and processing it to concentrate platelets and growth factors. These growth factors play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration.
When introduced back into the skin or scalp, PRP can stimulate:
Collagen production
Tissue repair
Improved blood supply
Cellular regeneration
Hair follicle stimulation
Wound healing processes
Because it comes from your own body, the risk of allergy or rejection is extremely low.
Why I Use a Closed System (Cellenis® PRP)
Not all PRP systems are the same. The way blood is processed matters significantly for both safety and quality.
I use the system developed by Cellenis because it is a closed, sterile system, meaning the blood is never exposed to the external environment during preparation.
This is important for several reasons:
Reduced contamination risk
Consistent platelet concentration
Higher purity of plasma
Improved safety profile
More predictable clinical results
In regenerative medicine, quality matters. A well-prepared PRP sample is more likely to produce meaningful outcomes.
How PRP Works for Skin
In facial aesthetics, PRP acts as a biological stimulator rather than a filler.
It can improve:
Skin texture
Fine lines
Elasticity
Hydration
Under-eye quality
Acne scarring
Overall skin vitality
Results develop gradually as collagen and tissue repair processes are activated.
Patients often notice that their skin simply looks healthier and more radiant.
How I Deliver PRP: Injections and Microneedling
I don’t rely on a single delivery method. Instead, I often combine precise injections with microneedling infusion, because they work in complementary ways.
Injection PRP
Injecting PRP allows me to place growth factors exactly where they are needed, such as:
Under the eyes
Areas of volume loss
Fine lines
Scalp for hair thinning
This provides targeted stimulation at deeper tissue levels.
Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin, allowing PRP to penetrate more widely across the surface.
This approach is particularly useful for:
Overall skin rejuvenation
Texture improvement
Acne scarring
Fine lines
Skin quality enhancement
Combining both methods can enhance outcomes because we treat both depth and surface layers.
PRP for Hair Loss and Hair Thinning
PRP has become an increasingly popular treatment for patients experiencing hair thinning or early hair loss.
It works by:
Stimulating dormant follicles
Improving scalp blood supply
Supporting follicle health
Extending the growth phase of hair
Patients often notice reduced shedding first, followed by gradual thickening.
PRP Before and After Hair Transplant Surgery
One area where PRP is particularly valuable is around the time of hair transplant procedures.
Before Transplant
PRP can help:
Improve scalp health
Enhance blood supply
Strengthen existing follicles
Prepare tissue for surgery
Creating a healthier scalp environment may support graft survival.
After Transplant
Post-transplant PRP can:
Accelerate healing
Reduce inflammation
Support graft integration
Encourage earlier growth
Improve hair density outcomes
Many hair surgeons now recommend PRP as part of a comprehensive transplant journey.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
I often recommend PRP for patients who want:
Natural regenerative treatments
Skin quality improvement
Under-eye rejuvenation
Hair thinning support
Pre- or post-transplant optimisation
Preventative ageing approaches
Because it uses your own biology, it suits patients who prefer more natural treatment pathways.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
PRP works cumulatively. I typically recommend:
A course of 3 sessions
Spaced about 4–6 weeks apart
Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months help sustain results depending on goals and the treatment area.
Hair treatments often benefit from more consistent maintenance.
What Results Can You Expect?
Results are gradual and natural. Patients often notice:
Healthier skin tone
Improved texture
Brighter under-eyes
Reduced hair shedding
Increased hair thickness over time
Better healing after procedures
PRP is not an instant transformation treatment — it’s a biological improvement process.
My Clinical Perspective
One of the reasons I continue to use PRP is its versatility. It works across skin, hair, and regenerative medicine, and it combines easily with other treatments.
Most importantly, it supports long-term tissue health, not just short-term cosmetic change.
Using a high-quality closed system allows me to deliver this treatment with greater confidence in both safety and outcomes.
Considering PRP?
If you’re interested in skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, or supporting results around a hair transplant, a consultation will help determine whether PRP is right for you.
Sometimes the most powerful treatments are the ones that use your body’s own regenerative potential.
