PRP at Orskin Aesthetics Clinic Dubai: Regenerative Skin & Hair Treatment
PRP has been used in aesthetics for years and is still a popular option for both skin rejuvenation and early hair thinning. Using a concentrated part of your own blood, it works with the body's natural repair processes to improve skin quality or support existing hair follicles.
At Orskin Aesthetics Clinic Dubai, Dr. Shagoon and Dr. Asima use PRP for both skin rejuvenation and for hair restoration. The treatment starts by taking a small sample of your own blood, which is processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma before being injected into the skin or areas of thinning hair.
For the skin, the goal is to gradually improve texture, firmness and overall skin quality and skin health. When used on the scalp, PRP works with existing hair follicles to support healthier, stronger hair growth.

What Is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It's made from your own blood and is particularly rich in platelets and the growth factors they release.
To prepare it, a small amount of blood is taken from your arm and placed in a centrifuge, which spins the blood to separate its different components. The platelet-rich part is then collected and used for treatment.
Depending on what you're treating, PRP can be injected into the skin or directly into areas of hair thinning on the scalp. Because it comes from your own blood, there is a low risk of an allergic reaction to the PRP itself.
What Can PRP Be Used For?
Skin Quality
For the face, PRP is used when skin is looking dull, uneven or beginning to show early signs of ageing.
The growth factors released by the platelets support the skin's natural repair processes and collagen production, so improvements happen gradually. Over time, skin may look smoother, brighter and generally better in quality.
Fine Lines and Early Signs of Ageing
PRP can also be used when fine lines and changes in firmness are starting to become more noticeable. By supporting collagen and elastin production, the aim is to gradually improve the way the skin looks and feels rather than create an instant change.
Hands
The hands can start to look thinner and more lined over time, often making veins more visible too.
PRP can be used here to work on the quality of the skin, with improvements in hydration, smoothness and texture developing over a course of treatment.
Hair Thinning
PRP is also widely used for hair loss, particularly male and female pattern hair loss.
It is injected directly into areas of thinning on the scalp, with the aim of supporting existing hair follicles and encouraging healthier hair growth.
PRP tends to be most relevant during the earlier stages of hair thinning, while follicles are still present and able to respond. It isn't designed to create new follicles in areas where hair has been completely lost.
How Does PRP Work?
The process is slightly different depending on whether you're treating the skin or scalp.
PRP for Skin
Once PRP is injected or applied to the skin, the platelets release growth factors involved in repair and regeneration. These signals can support fibroblast activity and the production of collagen and elastin.
That's why PRP results don't appear overnight. Changes in texture, firmness and overall skin quality build as the skin responds over the following weeks.
PRP for Hair
On the scalp, PRP is injected around areas where the hair is thinning.
The growth factors released by the platelets are used to support the environment around existing follicles and the hair growth cycle. The aim is to reduce shedding and encourage weaker follicles to produce stronger, thicker-looking hair.
Hair grows in cycles, so one treatment isn't enough. A course of sessions gives PRP the opportunity to work across follicles that may be at different stages of their growth cycle.
Who Is PRP Suitable For?
PRP can be considered if you want to improve skin quality or are experiencing early to moderate hair thinning and like the idea of a treatment that uses your own blood.
For hair loss, timing matters. PRP works with existing follicles, so it tends to be more useful while the hair is thinning rather than once an area has become completely bald.
It's also important to understand why you're losing hair in the first place. Hair thinning can have a number of causes, and PRP won't necessarily be the right treatment for all of them.
PRP may not be suitable if you have certain blood or clotting disorders, autoimmune conditions or an active infection. Dr. Shagoon or Dr. Asima will review your medical history before treatment.
PRP for Hair Loss: When Will I See Results?
Hair takes time to respond, so this isn't a treatment where you'll see a dramatic difference after a couple of weeks.
The original Orskin protocol notes that reduced shedding and some early thickening may become noticeable within two to three months. More visible changes in density generally take around three to six months, with improvements potentially continuing as the hair responds to repeated treatment.
PRP isn't a permanent cure for hair loss. If the underlying reason for thinning remains, maintenance treatment may be needed to help sustain the result.
What Happens at Your Appointment?
Your appointment begins with Dr. Shagoon or Dr. Asima assessing either your skin or scalp and discussing what you'd like to improve.
A small sample of blood is taken from your arm and placed into a centrifuge. This separates the blood into different components so the platelet-rich plasma can be collected.
For skin treatments, PRP can then be applied or injected into the area being treated. For hair restoration, it is injected directly into areas of thinning across the scalp.
The whole process usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes.
What Is the Recovery Like?
You may notice some redness, tenderness or sensitivity afterwards. Scalp treatments can leave the area feeling slightly tender for a short time.
These effects usually settle within a few days and downtime is generally minimal.
How Many PRP Treatments Will I Need?
For hair restoration, the original Orskin protocol recommends an initial course of three to four sessions, usually spaced four to six weeks apart. Maintenance treatments may then be recommended every three to six months.
For skin, a course of around three to four treatments spaced several weeks apart is generally used, with the exact plan depending on your skin and how it responds.
PRP Versus PRF
PRP and PRF both begin with a sample of your own blood, so it's easy to assume they're essentially the same treatment.
The difference is in how the blood is processed and what the final preparation contains. PRF includes a fibrin matrix and is prepared differently, while PRP produces a platelet-rich plasma that can be injected or used alongside other skin treatments.
Both have a place within regenerative aesthetics, and the more appropriate option depends on the area being treated and what you're hoping to improve.
