PRP Treatment in Dubai
Platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood. A natural, regenerative option for skin quality and hair.
How PRP works
A small blood sample is taken and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which carry growth factors involved in tissue repair. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected or applied with microneedling to the treatment area. Because it comes from your own blood, it suits patients who want a natural approach.

Side effects, risks and suitability
Common and usually short-lived
Bruising where blood is drawn, and redness, swelling or tenderness in the treated area for a day or two.
Less common but important
Infection is uncommon. Because PRP is made from your own blood, allergic reactions to it are not expected, but results vary between people.
When it may not be suitable
Blood or platelet disorders, blood-thinning medicines, active skin or scalp infection, pregnancy, or cancer under active treatment. Some conditions need your doctor's advice first.
Your consultation covers your medical history, medicines and allergies, so Dr Bahar can advise whether a treatment is right for you.
Downtime and aftercare
Avoid make-up for the rest of the day, and saunas, intense heat and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. After scalp PRP, wait until the next day to wash or heat-style your hair, unless advised otherwise.
