PRP - Platelet-Rich Plasma
Do you want to rejuvenate your skin, stimulate hair regrowth or accelerate wound healing naturally? PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injection is a regenerative medicine treatment that uses your body's own growth factors to stimulate cellular regeneration. In Tunisia, experienced aesthetic physicians perform this treatment at competitive prices.
PRP: What is it?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrate of blood platelets obtained from the patient's own blood. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate cellular regeneration, healing and the production of collagen and elastin.
PRP is a completely natural regenerative medicine technique, with no risk of allergy or rejection, as the product is autologous (derived from the patient themselves).
How does PRP treatment work?
PRP preparation follows a rigorous protocol. A blood draw of 10 to 20 mL is performed. The blood is then centrifuged to separate the platelet-rich plasma. The PRP layer is precisely extracted. PRP is injected into the area to be treated. This area can be the face, scalp or joints. The entire process takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Indications for PRP
PRP is indicated in many medical and aesthetic applications. It enables facial rejuvenation by treating wrinkles, fine lines, skin laxity and dull complexion. It is effective against alopecia, such as baldness or androgenetic alopecia. It improves the appearance of acne or traumatic scars. It relieves joint pain related to osteoarthritis, tendinitis or sports injuries. Finally, it promotes tissue repair after cosmetic surgery.
Benefits of PRP for the skin
Facial PRP offers many aesthetic benefits. It is natural as it comes from the patient's blood, with no allergenic risk. It stimulates collagen production to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. It improves skin elasticity, making it firmer and more toned. It reduces under-eye circles. It diminishes the appearance of scars. Results are durable, lasting 12 to 18 months.
Procedure of a PRP session
A PRP session takes place in several simple steps. The initial consultation evaluates needs and contraindications. Preparation includes a blood draw followed by centrifugation. Micro-injections are performed in the area to be treated. An anesthetic cream may be applied before the session. The session lasts 15 to 30 minutes. Return home is immediate, with resumption of normal activities.
Recommended number of sessions
The number of PRP sessions varies according to the treated area. For the face, 3 sessions are recommended, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. For the scalp, 3 to 4 sessions are needed, with the same spacing. For joints, 1 to 3 sessions are performed depending on the condition. A maintenance session is recommended every 6 to 12 months.
PRP results
PRP results appear progressively and naturally. They are visible after 2 to 3 weeks following the session. Optimal results are obtained 2 to 3 months after the last session. They are durable, lasting 12 to 18 months for the face. For the scalp, they last 6 to 12 months. Improvement is progressive and harmonious, without artificial effect.
PRP side effects
Recovery from PRP treatment is simple and without complications. Redness appears but disappears within a few hours. Mild edema resolves in 24 to 48 hours. Bruises are possible and disappear in 5 to 7 days. Local tenderness disappears quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions about PRP
1Can PRP be used on acne scars?
Yes, PRP is particularly effective on atrophic (pitted) acne scars. It stimulates collagen and elastin production, which gradually fills in the craters and improves overall skin texture. Results are visible after 2 to 3 sessions.
2Is PRP effective on postpartum hair loss?
Yes, PRP is an effective solution for treating postpartum hair loss (telogen effluvium). By stimulating hair follicles, it accelerates regrowth and improves hair density. Results are generally visible after 2 to 3 sessions, with improved hair quality.
3How long does it take to prepare PRP before injection?
PRP preparation is quick. After blood draw (5-10 minutes), centrifugation takes about 10 to 15 minutes. The entire preparation process takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Total treatment (preparation + injection) lasts between 30 and 45 minutes.
4Can PRP be used on hands and décolleté?
Yes, PRP is very effective on hands and décolleté. It combats skin laxity, wrinkles and pigment spots in these often neglected areas. Results are similar to those obtained on the face: firmer, smoother and more radiant skin.
5What is the shelf life of PRP once prepared?
PRP must be used immediately after preparation, within 15 to 30 minutes following centrifugation. Growth factors are fragile and degrade rapidly at room temperature. That's why PRP is prepared just before injection to guarantee maximum effectiveness.
6Can PRP be combined with mesotherapy?
Yes, PRP can be combined with mesotherapy for a synergistic effect. Vitamins, amino acids or antioxidants can be added to PRP. This combination deeply nourishes the skin and enhances PRP's regenerative effects, for even more radiant skin.
