PRP for hair and skin: what it treats

Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from a small sample of your own blood, concentrated in a centrifuge and then injected or applied to the treatment area. For hair, PRP is used mainly for early to moderate pattern thinning in men and women, and sometimes for diffuse thinning once other causes are excluded. For skin, PRP is used to improve texture, glow, fine lines and acne scars, often combined with microneedling in what is popularly called a vampire facial, and under the eyes for mild dark circles. Dr. Abdullah Anis confirms the diagnosis first so that PRP is only recommended when it suits your condition.

Your first visit from Sharjah

The first appointment is a consultation with Dr. Abdullah Anis. He takes a medical history, examines your scalp or skin, and may suggest blood tests for hair loss, such as ferritin, thyroid function and vitamin D. Standardised photographs are taken to compare progress later. If PRP is suitable and you wish to proceed, the first session can sometimes be done on the same day, which saves an extra trip; ask the clinic when booking whether this is possible for you. You receive a written plan explaining the number of sessions, the intervals and any combined treatments, so you can schedule your visits from Sharjah in advance.

How many sessions and how often

For hair loss, a common protocol is three to four sessions about four weeks apart, followed by maintenance every four to six months. For skin, a course of about three sessions four to six weeks apart is typical, with maintenance once or twice a year if desired. This means most patients from Sharjah visit roughly once a month during the initial course. Results for hair are usually judged at three to six months and for skin over several weeks to months. The dermatologist reviews progress at set points and adjusts the plan, so you are not committed to sessions that are not helping.

Planning the journey and the day

Manhal Medical Center is at Office 101, SMJ1 Building, Street 22A, Al Safa 1, between Al Wasl Road and Sheikh Zayed Road. The clinic is open daily from 11:00 to 20:00, and from 10:00 on Saturdays, which allows evening or weekend appointments that avoid peak traffic between Sharjah and Dubai. Allow about an hour to an hour and a half for a PRP session including numbing and preparation. Eat normally and drink plenty of water beforehand, as this helps the blood draw. For skin PRP, you may have redness for one to three days, so plan around social events; for hair PRP, you can usually return to normal activities the same day.

Aftercare once you are home

After hair PRP, avoid washing your hair for the rest of the day, and skip hair dye, intense exercise, saunas and swimming for about 24 to 48 hours. After facial PRP, use gentle products recommended by the clinic, avoid make-up for at least a day, and protect your skin carefully from the sun. Mild tenderness, swelling or bruising is common and settles within days. Contact the clinic by phone on +971 4 328 4560 or WhatsApp on +971 52 987 2411 if you notice increasing pain, swelling, pus or fever, which could suggest infection. For urgent symptoms outside clinic hours, go to the nearest emergency department.

PRP uses growth factors concentrated from a small sample of your own blood to support skin repair, texture and glow.
