PRP Treatment in Horsham | Hair Restoration & Skin Rejuvenation
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) in Horsham, West Sussex is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own natural healing factors to stimulate skin repair, collagen production and hair growth.
The treatment involves taking a small sample of your blood and placing it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma contains a high concentration of growth factors that help stimulate tissue repair, collagen production and cellular regeneration.
PRP is widely used in aesthetic medicine for skin rejuvenation, hair restoration and scar improvement because it supports the body’s natural healing processes and promotes healthier skin and hair.
At Urban Aesthetics Horsham, PRP treatments are tailored to your individual concerns and can be used on the face, neck, scalp or combined with SkinPen microneedling for enhanced results.
PRP for Face & Neck Rejuvenation
PRP can also be used to improve skin quality and promote natural rejuvenation of the face and neck.
The growth factors in PRP stimulate fibroblast activity, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining firm, healthy skin.
Benefits of PRP skin treatment include:
• Improved skin texture and elasticity
• Reduction in fine lines
• Improved skin hydration
• Brighter, healthier complexion
PRP is sometimes referred to as a “natural regenerative treatment” because it uses your own blood components rather than synthetic substances.
PRP for Hair Restoration
PRP hair treatment involves injecting platelet-rich plasma into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and improve hair growth.
Growth factors within the plasma help support the hair follicle environment, improve blood supply and encourage dormant follicles to re-enter the growth phase.
PRP hair treatment can help:
• Improve hair thickness and density
• Stimulate hair growth
• Strengthen existing hair follicles
• Slow down hair thinning
PRP is commonly used for early-stage hair thinning and androgenetic alopecia.
PRP for the Under-Eye Area
PRP can also be an effective treatment for the delicate under-eye area, where the skin is naturally thinner and more prone to dark circles, fine lines and loss of elasticity.
Platelet-rich plasma contains a high concentration of growth factors, which are proteins that stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes. When PRP is injected or applied to the under-eye area, these growth factors trigger collagen and elastin production, improving skin thickness, texture and firmness over time.
This regenerative process can help:
• Improve dark circles caused by thin skin
• Smooth fine lines around the eyes
• Improve skin elasticity and firmness
• Brighten tired-looking eyes
• Improve overall skin texture under the eyes
Because PRP uses your own blood plasma, it works by encouraging the body to regenerate new tissue rather than adding artificial volume. Over time, the increase in collagen and improved circulation can lead to smoother, brighter and healthier-looking skin in the under-eye area.
PRP is often combined with SkinPen microneedling, which creates micro-channels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response and allow the PRP growth factors to penetrate deeper into the skin, further enhancing collagen production and skin regeneration.
PRP with SkinPen Microneedling
PRP can also be combined with SkinPen microneedling to enhance skin regeneration.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin that stimulate the body’s healing response. When PRP is applied during the treatment, the growth factors penetrate deeper into the skin and accelerate the regenerative process.
This combination treatment can help improve:
• Acne scars
• Skin texture and tone
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven pigmentation
Combining microneedling with PRP can enhance results because the two treatments work together to stimulate collagen production and skin repair.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative treatment that uses the body’s own platelets and growth factors to stimulate tissue repair and cellular regeneration.
Platelets are small blood cells that normally help the body heal after injury. They contain specialised structures called alpha-granules, which store powerful biological signals known as growth factors. When platelets are activated, they release these growth factors to trigger tissue repair, collagen production and cellular regeneration.
In PRP treatment, a small sample of your blood is taken and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. The resulting plasma contains a much higher concentration of platelets than normal blood — often several times higher.
When this platelet-rich plasma is injected into the skin or scalp, the platelets release growth factors such as:
• Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
• Transforming growth factor (TGF-β)
• Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
• Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)These biological signals stimulate cells responsible for tissue repair, collagen synthesis and blood vessel formation.
This process effectively activates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging the skin or hair follicles to regenerate and function more efficiently.
-
When PRP is introduced into the skin, growth factors stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. Collagen provides structure and strength to the skin, while elastin keeps it firm and elastic.
As collagen production increases, the skin gradually becomes:
• Firmer
• Smoother
• More elastic
• Better hydratedStudies have shown that PRP can significantly increase dermal collagen density, which directly improves skin texture and elasticity.
Over time, this regenerative process leads to healthier skin and improved overall skin quality.

PRP works on the scalp by stimulating the hair follicle stem cells and improving the environment surrounding the follicle.
The growth factors released from platelets activate signalling pathways in the hair follicle that promote cell proliferation and prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.
At the same time, PRP stimulates the formation of new blood vessels around hair follicles, improving the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the scalp.
These mechanisms can help:
• Strengthen weakened hair follicles
• Increase hair thickness
• Improve hair density
• Support natural hair regrowth

PRP treatment in Horsham may be suitable if you:
• Are experiencing hair thinning or hair loss
• Want to improve skin texture and elasticity
• Have acne scars or uneven skin tone
• Want natural skin rejuvenation
• Prefer regenerative treatments using your body’s own growth factorsPRP is particularly attractive for patients who want biological, regenerative treatments rather than synthetic substances, as the treatment uses your own blood components.
-
A PRP appointment typically takes 45–60 minutes.
The procedure involves three main steps:
Blood collection
A small blood sample is taken from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.Plasma preparation
The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.Treatment application
The PRP is injected into the scalp or skin, or applied during treatments such as SkinPen microneedling.
Because PRP uses your own biological material, the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low.
Some redness, swelling or mild tenderness may occur after treatment, but this usually settles within a few days.
-
PRP stimulates the body’s natural regeneration process, meaning results develop gradually as new collagen and tissue are formed.
Patients typically notice:
• Improved skin texture and brightness within several weeks
• Increased hair thickness after multiple treatments
• Continued improvement as collagen production increasesMost treatment protocols recommend a course of 3–4 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments depending on the treatment area.
