PRP treatment for natural hair and skin improvement
A PRP treatment (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a treatment method in which powerful bodily growth factors can improve skin quality and hair growth via a small blood sample. The treatment gives a gradual improvement.
What is a PRP treatment?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) sometimes called PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) are treatments that use your own restorative ability of growth factors in your blood. After a small amount of blood is taken, the blood is centrifuged, creating a concentrate rich in growth factors called liquid gold.
This treatment is applied to the scalp as well as the face. With PRP of the face, growth factors stimulate skin quality. PRP of the scalp gives improvement in hair growth.
Skin Improvement
Treatment is a combination of:
- Microneedling PRP in the face (insertion of PRP through microchannels in the skin)
- Injections with PRP under the eyes (tear trough).
The goal of treatment is to improve skin quality, texture, hydration, collagen stimulation, and a fresher appearance. This treatment is also called a Vampire Facelift and was famous and praised by Kim Kardashian. Learn more here.
Stimulate hair growth
In this treatment area, PRP is injected into the scalp. The purpose of this treatment is to stimulate hair growth.
Because we work with the body's own material:
- Does a PRP treatment feel natural to many people
- Changes your appearance not suddenly, but gradually.
What is PRP not?
A PRP plasma treatment is no:
Filler (no volume filler).
Botox (no muscle relaxation)
Instant makeover
PRP works in weeks, not minutes. It especially suits people who want to gradually improve their skin or hair with very natural-looking results and with body-own material.
Overview of PRP TREATMENTS
Who is PRP treatment suitable for?
PRP may be of interest if you:
Duller skin, fine lines or coarse pore structure looks
Want a fresh, rested look without extra volume
Notice that your hair (line) is thinning or that your parting appears wider
Opts for a natural approach with realistic expectations
For deep volume loss or obvious sagging skin, PRP alone is often not enough. In that case, we discuss other options or combinations.
How does a PRP treatment work?
A PRP treatment consists of:
We take a small amount of blood, similar to a standard blood draw. This forms the basis for the PRP treatment.
The blood is centrifuged, separating the plasma containing concentrated growth factors from the remaining blood components.
The PRP is carefully administered with fine injections or through microneedling in the treatment area.
combination treatment for hair growth
At DokterEs , we strive to achieve the best results. Therefore, for hair growth stimulation, PRP treatment is often used in combination. Beforehand, we always start with an extensive hair consultation. Then a personal treatment plan is drawn up, which can consist of:
- Lab tests: to check for possible vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
- Complementary medication and shampoo: to support and enhance the effect of treatment
- Hair filler: by indication, for ultimate results.
What can you expect after treatment?
A PRP treatment works gradually:
-
Immediately after treatment: redness for several hours to days and sometimes a subtle glow already visible.
-
After 3-12 weeks: improvement in skin texture or hair condition
-
After 2-3 months: often the most visible effect
For stable results, a course of 3 sessions at 4 to 6 week intervals is usually advised. For maintenance, a single session every 6 months is applied.
Disadvantages and side effects of PRP
Common, temporary reactions:
Redness
Swelling
Sensitivity
Sometimes a bruise
The effect of PRP treatments is natural. The skin-enhancing effect becomes visible gradually, sometimes requiring some patience. If immediate volume restoration or more tightening is desired, PRP can be combined with other treatments, such as hyaluronic acid fillers. Additional skin improving treatments, such as Sculptra and skin boosters, can also support and enhance the result. During a consultation, we always discuss whether PRP is suitable for your situation.

During a consultation, we take the time to discuss your needs, analyze your skin or scalp and take an honest look at what you can realistically expect.
