What Is PRP?
PRP Skin & Hair Rejuvenation Perth
Natural skin rejuvenation and hair restoration — using your body’s own healing power. PRP for face, scalp, and skin quality.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) harnesses concentrated growth factors from your blood to support collagen production, improve skin quality, and encourage healthier hair growth. Because it uses your own biology, no synthetic products are introduced — making it one of the most natural treatment options available.
$600 for 2 vials (40-minute session). Most Perth clinics charge $700–$900+ for a comparable session.

Does PRP work for hair loss?
PRP may help reduce shedding and support the natural hair growth cycle. Research suggests it can be effective for early to moderate pattern hair loss in both men and women.
What Is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)?
PRP is a concentrated solution made from your own blood. A small sample is drawn (same process as a routine blood test), then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells. This plasma contains a high concentration of growth factors and proteins that play a key role in tissue healing and cell renewal.
When applied to the skin or scalp, PRP may help stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, support tissue repair, and encourage healthier cell turnover. Because it comes from your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions is very low.
PRP has been used in regenerative medicine for over two decades — including wound healing, orthopaedic recovery, and sports medicine. In aesthetic treatments, it’s now widely used for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.
Individual results vary. PRP is not suitable for everyone. Your practitioner will assess suitability.
PRP Skin Rejuvenation (Vampire Facial)
Sometimes called a “vampire facial,” PRP skin rejuvenation uses your own platelet-rich plasma to support the skin’s natural renewal process. The concentrated growth factors may help:
- Improve skin texture, tone, and hydration
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and surface wrinkles
- Support healing of acne scars and uneven skin
- Encourage collagen and elastin production
- Brighten dull or tired-looking complexions
At Equinox, PRP can be delivered via direct injection into targeted areas, or applied topically alongside skin needling for enhanced absorption. Your practitioner will recommend the best approach based on your concerns.
Who tends to choose PRP for skin? People looking for a natural approach to rejuvenation, those who prefer treatments using their own biological material, and anyone wanting to improve overall skin quality without significant downtime.
PRP Hair Loss Treatment
PRP is also used to support hair health by delivering concentrated growth factors directly to the scalp. Research suggests PRP may help reduce shedding, support the natural hair growth cycle, increase blood supply to follicles, and improve thickness and density over time.
PRP for hair works best for people experiencing early to moderate thinning, including androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss). Suitable for both men and women. Results develop gradually over 3–6 months, with maintenance typically recommended every 6–12 months.

Between PRP sessions, many clients maintain scalp support with monthly Biotin injections ($99). → Vitamin Injections

What to Expect
- Preparation: Your practitioner cleanses the treatment area and discusses your goals. For skin PRP, numbing cream may be applied.
- Blood draw: A small blood sample is taken from your arm — same process as a routine blood test. Quick and straightforward.
- Processing: Your blood is placed in a centrifuge which spins it to separate the platelet-rich plasma. Takes around 10 minutes.
- Treatment: For skin: PRP is either injected into targeted areas or applied topically during skin needling. For hair: PRP is delivered into the scalp via fine micro-injections. Most clients describe mild discomfort.
- Aftercare: Mild redness, tenderness, or slight swelling is normal — typically settles within 24–48 hours. Avoid vigorous exercise, saunas, and direct sun for 24 hours.
- Results: Improvements develop gradually as your body produces new collagen and tissue. For skin: visible from 2–4 weeks. For hair: allow 3–6 months.
