Quick Answer
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It uses a processed portion of the patient’s own blood as part of a supportive medical aesthetic protocol.
It may be discussed for selected concerns involving skin quality, skin texture, scalp support and early hair thinning.
PRP is not a dermal filler, lifting procedure or guaranteed hair-regrowth treatment.
Results usually develop gradually and vary according to the treatment area, biological response, underlying cause and treatment plan. Medical assessment is therefore essential.
What Is PRP Treatment?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. During the procedure, a blood sample is collected and processed using an appropriate preparation system. The platelet-rich portion is then used within a personalised skin or scalp treatment plan.
The purpose of PRP is not to add volume or alter facial proportions. It is generally discussed as a supportive option for selected patients whose main concern relates to skin quality, tissue support, scalp condition or suitable forms of hair thinning.
PRP may be evaluated for:
- Skin quality and texture support
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Early skin-quality decline
- Recovery support after selected procedures
- Scalp-quality support
- Selected cases of early hair thinning
- Combination skin or hair treatment plans
PRP for Skin Quality
PRP may be considered when the main concern is the overall quality and appearance of the skin rather than significant volume loss or facial sagging.
Selected patients with dullness, reduced vitality or fine texture concerns may discuss PRP as part of a supportive rejuvenation plan. Because the treatment uses blood-derived material from the patient, it is often described as a natural-support approach. However, natural does not mean automatically suitable or free from temporary side effects.
What is assessed during a skin consultation?
Fine irregularity, roughness and general tissue quality are reviewed.
The cause of tired or uneven-looking skin is considered.
If the main problem is structural volume loss, filler may be more relevant.
If sagging is dominant, technologies such as Ultherapy, Endolift or Morpheus8 may be discussed.
If discoloration is the main concern, laser or light-based treatments may be more suitable.
Recent treatments and the skin’s recovery status are taken into account.
PRP for Hair and Scalp Support
PRP may also be discussed for selected patients with scalp-quality concerns or suitable patterns of hair thinning. It should not be considered a universal solution for all forms of hair loss.
Hair shedding and thinning can be influenced by genetics, hormonal changes, iron or vitamin deficiencies, thyroid conditions, stress, medication, weight loss, scalp disease and other medical factors.
When hair loss is sudden, severe, patchy or unexplained, medical investigation may be required before PRP is considered. Depending on the findings, dermatology, internal medicine or another specialist assessment may be more appropriate.
Questions considered before hair PRP
- When did the hair shedding or thinning begin?
- Is the pattern diffuse, localised or genetically patterned?
- Is there itching, redness, sensitivity or scaling on the scalp?
- Have iron, vitamin, thyroid or hormonal factors been assessed?
- Is there a family history of similar hair thinning?
- Which treatments have already been tried?
- Is PRP suitable, or should another investigation or treatment come first?

Request a WhatsApp AssessmentWho May Be a Suitable Candidate?
PRP may be discussed with patients who have a suitable medical background, realistic expectations and one or more of the following concerns:
Selected patients seeking support for reduced skin vitality.
Concerns related to overall skin texture and quality.
Selected cases in which the cause has been assessed.
Suitable scalp concerns without uncontrolled active disease.
Cases in which PRP forms one part of a broader protocol.
Patients who understand that results are supportive and develop over time.
Who May Not Be a Suitable Candidate?
- Patients with active infection or uncontrolled inflammation
- Patients with active skin disease in the treatment area
- People with sudden or unexplained hair loss that has not been medically assessed
- Patients whose main concern is significant facial volume loss
- Patients with advanced facial or neck laxity
- Patients whose dominant concern is deep acne scarring or pigmentation
- People expecting immediate or dramatic transformation
- Patients with certain blood-related or uncontrolled medical conditions
- Patients for whom another treatment is considered more appropriate
PRP Is Not the Same as Dermal Filler
PRP and dermal fillers are designed for different concerns. Treatment selection depends on whether the problem involves tissue quality, volume, contour, laxity, pigmentation or scalp support.
PRP Treatment
- Skin-quality support
- Texture and vitality support
- Scalp and hair support
- Recovery support after selected procedures
Dermal Filler
- Volume restoration
- Facial contour and structural balance
- Lip, cheek, chin or jawline planning
- Profile and proportion support in selected areas
When volume or facial contour is the main concern, dermal filler treatments or the guide to natural-looking filler planning in Istanbul may be more relevant.
PRP vs Mesotherapy, Exosome Treatment and Skin Boosters
These treatments may all appear in skin or hair-quality plans, but their contents, mechanisms and goals are different.
Uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient’s own blood for selected skin or scalp-support plans.
May use selected active ingredients according to the treatment area and concern. Explore mesotherapy and skin-strengthening options.
May be discussed for selected skin-quality, scalp or recovery protocols. View the exosome treatment page.
Generally focus more directly on hydration, elasticity, fine lines and general skin quality.
Which Areas Can Be Evaluated?
Selected concerns involving dullness, vitality and general skin quality.
Skin-quality concerns may be assessed; significant laxity may require another treatment.
Careful assessment is required because hollowing, pigmentation and puffiness need different approaches.
Selected cases of scalp-quality concerns or early hair thinning may be discussed.
How Is PRP Treatment Planned?
Your concern, medical history, previous treatments and expectations are reviewed.
The skin, scalp or hair-thinning pattern is assessed.
A blood sample is processed using an appropriate preparation system.
The prepared platelet-rich portion is used according to the treatment plan.
The response is reviewed and further sessions are discussed only when appropriate.
Sessions, Discomfort, Downtime and Result Timeline
A single session or a course of sessions may be discussed. The plan depends on the treatment area, concern and response.
Patients may experience the sensation of blood collection, temporary stinging, pressure or sensitivity during application.
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, small bumps or bruising may occur. Recovery varies between patients and treatment areas.
PRP does not create an immediate lifting or volumising effect. Changes are generally assessed gradually.
The need for additional sessions or a combination treatment is reviewed according to the response.
Aftercare and Return to Daily Life
Most patients can return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment, although visible redness, sensitivity, mild swelling or bruising may temporarily affect social planning.
Patients may be advised to avoid rubbing the area, intense heat, sauna, steam rooms, heavy exercise or irritating products for a short period. Advice varies according to the treatment area and protocol.
For facial treatment, gentle skincare and sun protection may be recommended. For scalp treatment, non-irritating hair and scalp care may be advised.
Which Treatments May Be Combined with PRP?
PRP may be used alone or as one part of a layered treatment strategy. Combination planning should be based on the presence of different concerns rather than the idea that more treatment always creates a better result.
May be more relevant when pores, acne scars, texture irregularity or firmness are significant concerns. Explore Morpheus8.
May be discussed when the primary issue is deeper skin laxity or lifting support. View Ultherapy treatment information.
May be considered for selected lower-face, jawline or under-chin concerns. Learn about Endolift.
Hair mesotherapy, exosome treatment or other regenerative options may be discussed according to the cause of hair thinning.
PRP Treatment Cost in Istanbul
The cost of PRP treatment in Istanbul varies according to the treatment area, preparation system, number of sessions, extent of the concern, doctor-led planning and whether another treatment is included.
Although treatment costs in Istanbul may be more accessible than in some European, UK or Gulf locations, price should not be the only factor in decision-making. Medical suitability, hygiene standards, the preparation system and follow-up are important considerations.

Doctor-Led Planning with Dr. Abdurrahman Efem
At Efem Clinic, PRP treatment is planned according to a medical assessment led by Dr. Abdurrahman Efem. Determining whether PRP is genuinely relevant to the concern is the most important step.
Dr. Efem is a medical aesthetic physician with training and teaching experience in advanced aesthetic procedures, including Endolift, Ultherapy, Morpheus8, injectable techniques and regenerative aesthetic planning.
His approach focuses on anatomy, conservative treatment planning, natural-looking outcomes and realistic expectations. When PRP is not suitable, another treatment or no procedure may be recommended.
The Efem Clinic Approach to PRP
The actual cause of the skin or hair concern is considered before treatment.
The aim is supportive improvement rather than changing facial identity.
Medical history, active conditions and suitability are assessed beforehand.
Unnecessary sessions and procedures are avoided.
Treatment is provided in a calm and discreet clinic environment.
Skin quality, volume, laxity, pigmentation and scalp concerns are distinguished from one another.
Results and Realistic Expectations
PRP response varies between patients. Age, tissue quality, lifestyle, duration of the concern, cause of hair thinning and the number of sessions can all influence the outcome.
The goal is not dramatic transformation. PRP is generally used to support gradual improvement in suitable patients. It should not be expected to correct advanced sagging, major volume loss, deep acne scars or every form of hair loss.
Individual results cannot be predicted from another patient’s photographs. You may view the Efem Clinic before-and-after gallery while keeping in mind that treatment plans and starting conditions differ.

Doctor’s Note
PRP should not be presented as a universal treatment for every skin or hair concern. The first question is not simply whether a patient should have PRP, but what is causing the concern.
Some patients need skin-quality support, while others may require hair-loss investigation, mesotherapy, laser treatment, lifting technology, filler or no procedure at all.
When the indication is appropriate, PRP may form a useful part of a focused and medically responsible treatment plan.
