Introduction

Cosmetic medicine is evolving towards increasingly natural and non-invasive solutions. The autologous treatment, also known as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), is among the most popular therapies to stimulate hair growth and improve skin quality.
In Switzerland, it attracts more and more patients looking for an effective alternative to surgical interventions and synthetic products.

But what exactly does this treatment involve? What are its benefits for hair and skin? And what results can one expect?

What is an autologous treatment (PRP)?

The autologous treatment uses your own blood cells to naturally stimulate tissue regeneration.

  • A small amount of blood is taken.

  • The platelet-rich plasma is isolated by centrifugation.

  • This concentrate is then reinjected into the scalp or skin.

Since the treatment comes from the patient’s own body, it is 100% biocompatible and carries no risk of allergy.

PRP for hair: stimulate hair growth

The autologous treatment is particularly effective for people suffering from mild to moderate hair loss.

  • Action: strengthens hair follicles, stimulates vascularization, and prolongs the hair life cycle.

  • Indications: diffuse hair loss, early baldness, thinning hair.

  • Results: denser, stronger hair and slowed hair loss.

PRP can also be combined with a hair transplant to optimize regrowth and speed up healing.

PRP for skin: regeneration and radiance

Injected into the dermis, the platelet-rich plasma acts as a true natural booster.

  • Deep hydration.

  • Improvement of skin texture and elasticity.

  • Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines.

  • Mitigation of acne scars and skin irregularities.

Facial PRP is sometimes referred to as “Vampire Lift”, as it uses the patient’s own blood to regenerate the skin.

Difference between PRP and mesotherapy

These two treatments are often confused, but they are not identical:

  • PRP (autologous treatment): uses only the plasma from the patient, rich in growth factors.

  • Mesotherapy: injections of vitamins, minerals, and hyaluronic acid into the scalp or skin.

Complementary: they can be combined for optimal results.

Results and number of sessions

  • Hair: a course of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by 1 maintenance session every 6 to 12 months.

  • Skin: visible results after 2 to 3 sessions, with gradual improvement over several months.

  • Duration of a session: approximately 45 to 60 minutes.

📸 Results are natural, progressive, and long-lasting, as they rely on the body's own regenerative capabilities.

Cost of an autologous treatment in Switzerland

The price varies depending on the number of sessions and treated areas.

  • Hair: from 1,900 CHF for a course of 3 sessions.

  • Skin: from 350 CHF per session.

  • Packs: often offered to optimize management and reduce overall costs.
