PRP in Dubai
Your own blood, concentrated into a platelet-rich plasma and returned to the tissue that needs repairing. Nothing synthetic, nothing foreign, and no possibility of rejection.
Your Own Blood
No synthetic material, no rejection risk
Six Areas Treated
Face to scalp, the most versatile option
Under-Eye Safe
Where filler is technically demanding
Established for Hair
Early to moderate thinning
In Short
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is prepared by drawing a small sample of your own blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which carry growth factors. The concentrate is then injected into the treatment area to stimulate repair and collagen production. At Elora Polyclinic in Dubai it is used on the face, under-eyes, neck, hands, body and scalp. A standard course is three sessions four weeks apart.

Where It Is Used
Treatment Areas
FaceNeckDécolletageHandsBodyScalp
PRP is the most versatile treatment in this category because the material is your own tissue. It is used on the face, under-eyes, neck, décolletage, hands, body and scalp — there is no area where compatibility is a concern.

Your PRP Options
02
Under-Eye PRP
One of the most valuable applications, improving thin, crepey under-eye skin and the shadowing it causes. Safe in an area where filler is technically demanding and not always appropriate.
03
Scalp PRP for Hair
Injected into the scalp to support weakening follicles in early to moderate thinning. It strengthens hair that still exists and cannot regrow follicles that are gone.
Candidacy
Is PRP Right for You?
Good candidate if
- Wanting rejuvenation with no synthetic or foreign material
- Early to moderate hair thinning with follicles still present
- Thin, crepey under-eye skin
- Dull skin texture, tone or early fine lines
- Patients with sensitivities who cannot use other injectables
May not be right if
- Blood disorders, platelet dysfunction or anticoagulant therapy without clearance
- Active infection, or skin cancer at the treatment site
- Completely bald areas with no remaining follicles
- Expecting volume restoration — PRP does not fill
- Unwilling to complete a course of three sessions
How PRP Is Performed, Step by Step
1
01
Assessment and Screening
Suitability is confirmed, including relevant blood conditions and medication. For hair, the scalp is examined to establish whether follicles are miniaturising or already lost.
2
02
Blood Draw
A small sample is taken, typically ten to twenty millilitres — comparable to a routine blood test.
3
03
Centrifugation
The sample is spun to separate the platelet-rich fraction. Preparation takes around fifteen minutes and is performed on site in front of you.
4
04
Topical Anaesthetic
Applied while the sample is processing, so the appointment time is used efficiently.
5
05
Delivery
Injected directly into the target area, or applied with microneedling for broader facial treatment and better superficial absorption.
6
06
Course and Maintenance
Three sessions four weeks apart, with maintenance every six to nine months depending on the area and your response.

What to consider
PRP requires a blood draw at each session and a course of three treatments, with results appearing gradually rather than immediately. Response varies between individuals because the concentrate depends on your own platelet quality. Mild swelling, bruising and redness for one to two days are normal. PRP does not add volume, and it cannot regrow hair where follicles no longer exist. It is not suitable with certain blood disorders or anticoagulant therapy without medical clearance.
Recovery

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP the same as a vampire facial?
The vampire facial is a marketing name for PRP applied with microneedling. It is the same underlying treatment — your own platelet-rich plasma delivered into the skin.
Does PRP work for hair loss?
It works for hair that is thinning but still present, improving calibre and reducing shedding in early to moderate loss. It cannot regrow hair where the follicle has been lost entirely. If an area is genuinely bald, transplantation is the treatment and PRP is supportive.
How many sessions do I need?
A standard course is three sessions four weeks apart, for both skin and hair. Maintenance is typically one session every six to nine months, based on your documented response rather than on a fixed schedule.
Is PRP safe?
It has an excellent safety profile because the material is entirely your own — no foreign substance, no allergy risk, no rejection. The main considerations are blood conditions or anticoagulant therapy, which are screened at consultation.
Does it hurt?
The blood draw feels like a routine blood test. Injections are performed under topical anaesthetic and most patients find them very manageable. Scalp treatment is generally described as the more uncomfortable of the two.
PRP or exosomes — which is better?
PRP uses your own tissue and has the stronger evidence base and broader area coverage. Exosomes are laboratory-derived, need no blood draw and show promising results particularly for hair and post-procedure recovery. Many patients use them together, and your practitioner will advise based on your goal.
