PRP Therapy Killarney: Natural Skin Rejuvenation & Hair Restoration

Harness your body's own healing power for younger skin and thicker hair.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced rejuvenation treatment available at The Skin Lab Killarney. Using growth factors from your own blood, PRP stimulates natural collagen production, improves skin texture, and can even help restore thinning hair - all without synthetic products or chemicals.

Often called the "Vampire Facial," this 100% natural treatment harnesses your body's own healing abilities to regenerate skin and promote hair growth.

How Does PRP Therapy Work?

Blood Draw

A small sample of your blood is drawn (similar to a standard blood test).

1

Centrifuge Separation

Your blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins to separate the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells.

2

PRP Extraction

The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is extracted - this contains powerful growth factors.

3

Treatment

The PRP is injected into the treatment area (skin or scalp), where growth factors stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration.

PRP for Hair Loss & Thinning Hair

PRP therapy is highly effective for treating early-stage hair loss and thinning hair in both men and women. The growth factors in your platelet-rich plasma stimulate dormant hair follicles, encourage new hair growth, and strengthen existing hair.

How PRP helps hair restoration:

Increases blood supply to hair follicles
Stimulates dormant follicles to produce new hair
Strengthens and thickens existing hair
Extends the growth phase of the hair cycle
Safe, natural alternative to hair transplants

For hair loss, we recommend a course of 6 sessions, 4-6 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments every 4-6 months.

Platelet Rich Plasma FAQs

For skin concerns, a course of 4 treatments are recommended. To treat thinning hair, a course of 6 visits is recommended. In order to maintain results follow up treatments may be recommended.

Numbing cream is applied to the treatment area for approximately 15 minutes prior to the procedure to minimise the discomfort caused by the injections.

Platelets contain a high content of “growth factors” – proteins that help to heal injured tissue or damaged skin. Injected platelets release their growth factors which trigger surrounding cells to proliferate and stimulate repair, increase volume and rejuvenate the skin.

Additionally, growth factors boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity. PRP Injections are injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss and/or wrinkles and provides a gradual increase in skin thickness.

Before the procedure, blood is taken from the patient and put into a centrifuge, where the blood is spun in order to separate the red blood cells from the platelet plasma (hence the name Vampire Facial). Harvested platelets are then injected into problem skin areas, where they release growth factors.

Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is an advanced rejuvenation treatment that uses the growth factors present in your own blood in order to regenerate your skin. The treatment encourages skin rejuvenation by stimulating the growth of your own collagen and improving blood supply to the tissue, leading to healthier, younger looking skin.

PRP is generally not painful, but some patients do feel mild discomfort during the injection.

Yes Platelet Rich Plasma can help reduce the appearance of dark circles. PRP increases collagen production, increases blood circulation and enhances tissue repair in the treated area.

At The Skin Lab's Killarney clinic, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) prices start from €300 per session.

PRP treatments usually take 1 hour.

For hair loss, you may need 3 PRP sessions 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are required every 4–6 months.

What to Expect From Your PRP Treatment at The Skin Lab

On arrival to the clinic a thorough consultation is carried out with one of our nurses. During this we check your medical history and take some pictures to ensure you can follow your progress.

Next, topical anaesthetic is applied to the treatment area, for approximately 15 minutes during which the blood sample is drawn.

The sample is placed into the centrifuge for the separation of the blood into plasma rich protein (PRP) and red blood cells, then the skin is prepared for the treatment.

This plasma contains proteins to stimulate the growth of your own collagen and to improve the blood supply into the tissue. This is then injected into the treatment area in a sterile manner.
