Regenerative • Autologous

Can PRP be said to be a natural treatment?

Yes — PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses a concentrate of your own blood (no foreign donor material) to deliver growth-factor signals that support tissue repair in skin and scalp. That autologous origin is why PRP is widely described as a “natural” approach — while still being delivered via a clinical, evidence-led protocol.

Why many consider PRP “natural”

Autologous source: prepared from a small sample of your own blood.
Minimal additives: PRP is concentrated platelets in plasma; protocols avoid synthetic fillers.
Signal-based action: platelets release growth factors (e.g., PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β) that communicate with local cells involved in repair.
Low allergy risk: because it’s your biology, adverse immune reactions are uncommon.

“Natural” doesn’t mean casual: PRP must be prepared and delivered under strict clinical protocols for sterility, dosing and placement.

Where PRP fits (and doesn’t)

Skin quality: texture, crepiness and fine lines in suitable candidates.
Scalp/hair: early-to-moderate thinning, assessed case-by-case.
Adjunctive use: pairs with skincare, peels, or microneedling where appropriate.
Not a replacement for: volume-adding fillers or ablative lasers when those are indicated.

Benefits of PRP What to expect

“Natural” vs. “natural-adjacent” aesthetics

In aesthetics, “natural” usually refers to autologous or biologically familiar approaches. PRP is autologous; polynucleotides and HA boosters are considered “natural-adjacent” because they are bio-compatible but not sourced from your own blood.

Protocol-based plans

Your clinician will explain where each option excels and whether a combined plan fits your goals.

Is PRP completely chemical-free?

PRP itself is your plasma and platelets. Labs and clinics use sterile consumables and anticoagulant tubes to prepare it safely; your clinician will explain the exact protocol used.

Does “natural” mean zero risk?

No treatment is risk-free. With PRP, transient redness, swelling or bruising can occur; rare risks are discussed during consent. Autologous origin reduces allergy risk.

How many sessions will I need?

Commonly 3–4 sessions about 4 weeks apart, then maintenance (skin: ~6–12 months; scalp: ~3–6 months), adjusted to response and goals.

When will I notice changes?

Skin “freshness” may be felt within weeks; visible changes are usually reviewed after completing the initial course. Scalp responses are gradual and vary by cause/stage.
