What is PRP treatment?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves drawing a small amount of your own blood, then spinning it in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors, which are thought to help stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and encourage hair growth. Because PRP is derived from your own body, the risk of an allergic reaction is low.
PRP is most commonly used for two purposes:
- Skin rejuvenation — often combined with microneedling (sometimes called a "vampire facial") to address fine lines, dull skin, acne scarring and overall texture.
- Hair loss — injected into the scalp to support thinning hair and early-stage hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia.
What to expect during a session
A typical PRP appointment takes around 45 to 90 minutes. After a consultation, the practitioner draws a small blood sample, similar to a routine blood test. The sample is processed in a centrifuge for several minutes, then the concentrated plasma is applied or injected into the treatment area.
For skin treatments, a numbing cream is usually applied beforehand to keep you comfortable. For hair treatments, the plasma is injected across the scalp in a grid pattern. Most people describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than significant pain.
PRP is generally a course-based treatment. Many clinics recommend a series of three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions. Results build gradually over weeks to months as collagen and tissue respond.
Downtime and aftercare
Downtime is usually minimal. After a skin session you may experience redness, mild swelling and a sensation similar to mild sunburn for one to three days. Scalp treatments may cause tenderness and slight redness at injection points for a day or two.
Your practitioner will give specific aftercare advice, which often includes avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, sun exposure and certain skincare products for 24 to 48 hours. Always follow the instructions provided by your clinic.
Typical price ranges in Adelaide
Pricing varies depending on the clinic, the practitioner's experience, the equipment used and the area being treated. As a general guide in the Australian market:
- PRP for skin (single session): approximately $350–$700
- PRP with microneedling: approximately $500–$900 per session
- PRP for hair (single session): approximately $400–$800
- Course packages are often discounted compared with individual sessions.
These figures are general estimates only and should not be taken as a quote. Always confirm current pricing directly with the clinic, and ask whether the consultation fee is separate.
How to choose a PRP clinic in Adelaide
With a number of clinics offering PRP across Adelaide — from Glenside and Glenelg East to Kent Town, North Adelaide and the CBD — it pays to compare carefully. Consider the following:
- Practitioner qualifications. PRP involves drawing and injecting blood, so it should be performed by a qualified medical professional such as a doctor or registered nurse working under appropriate supervision.
- Experience with your specific concern. A clinic strong in hair restoration may differ from one focused on skin rejuvenation. Ask about their experience with your particular goal.
- Equipment and protocols. Quality PRP relies on proper centrifuge equipment and sterile technique. Ask how the plasma is prepared.
- Reviews and reputation. Look at the volume and consistency of reviews, not just the star rating. A clinic with hundreds of reviews offers a broader picture than one with very few.
- Realistic expectations. A good clinic will be honest about what PRP can and can't achieve, and won't over-promise.
The clinics featured on this page include both highly reviewed, high-volume practices and smaller boutique clinics, so it's worth booking consultations to find the right fit.
AHPRA registration and safety
PRP is a medical procedure. In Australia, healthcare practitioners who perform injectable and medical treatments should be registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). You can verify a practitioner's registration for free on the AHPRA website (ahpra.gov.au).
Before booking, confirm that:
- The treating practitioner is AHPRA-registered.
- The clinic follows strict hygiene and sterility standards for blood handling.
- You receive a proper consultation, including a discussion of your medical history.
PRP is not suitable for everyone. People with certain blood disorders, active infections, some skin conditions, or who are pregnant may be advised against it. A thorough consultation should screen for these factors.
Questions to ask before your treatment
- Are you AHPRA-registered, and who will perform the procedure?
- How many PRP treatments have you performed for my specific concern?
- How many sessions will I likely need, and what's the total cost?
- What results are realistic for me, and when will I see them?
- What are the risks and possible side effects?
- What does aftercare involve, and is a follow-up included?
Taking the time to ask these questions — and to verify registration and reviews — will help you make a confident, informed decision about PRP treatment in Adelaide.

As a general guide, PRP skin treatments typically range from around $350–$700 per session, while PRP for hair loss ranges from around $400–$800. Course packages are often discounted. These are estimates only — always confirm current pricing directly with the clinic.
Is there much downtime after PRP?
Downtime is usually minimal. You may have redness, mild swelling or tenderness for one to three days after a skin treatment, and slight scalp tenderness after a hair treatment. Most people return to normal activities quickly, but follow your clinic's specific aftercare advice.
Is PRP safe?
Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is low. However, it is still a medical procedure that requires sterile technique and proper screening. It's not suitable for everyone, so a thorough consultation and medical history review are essential.
How do I check if a PRP clinic is properly regulated?
PRP should be performed by a qualified medical professional. In Australia, practitioners performing injectable and medical treatments should be registered with AHPRA. You can verify registration for free at ahpra.gov.au before booking.
How many PRP sessions will I need?
Most clinics recommend a course of three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments. The exact number depends on your concern and goals, so ask your practitioner for a tailored plan during your consultation.
