Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own platelets to stimulate healing in targeted areas. At U.n.i Klinik Sandakan, PRP is used to treat a range of concerns including hair loss, acne scars, and even joint pain like arthritis, all without surgery.
PRP is made from your own blood. It’s a concentration of platelets that are rich in growth factors, the components responsible for healing and cell regeneration. When injected into the scalp, skin, or joints, these growth factors accelerate tissue repair naturally.
These platelets release several proteins that signal the body to begin tissue repair. This process helps stimulate hair follicles, rebuild collagen in scarred skin, and reduce inflammation in arthritic joints.
This makes PRP an ideal solution for those who want to address hair thinning, facial scars, or knee pain using a minimally invasive, biologically compatible method.
Many patients seek PRP for different reasons, but the unifying appeal is its versatility. At our Sandakan clinic, this treatment is frequently recommended for:
Once your skin or concern is assessed, our team will tailor the application of PRP to target your goals.
A personal consultation to assess your concerns for hair loss, facial rejuvenation, or joint pain. This helps us determine if PRP is the right solution for you.
A small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine test. It’s then spun in a medical centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
The concentrated PRP is carefully injected into the targeted area such as scalp, face, or joint depending on your treatment plan.
We’ll guide you on what to expect after the session, such as mild redness or swelling, and how to care for the treated
Unlike topical products or oral supplements, PRP is injected to reactivate dormant hair follicles, promoting better blood circulation to the scalp, and improving hair density over time.
PRP can stimulate new collagen growth to help the skin repair itself from the inside out. Over time, patients often notice smoother skin texture, reduced appearance of fine lines, and a healthier glow.
For patients with osteoarthritis or chronic knee discomfort, PRP helps to reduce inflammation and support cartilage repair, offering an alternative for non-invasive treatments like surgery.
After your session, some mild swelling or redness at the injection site is common. This usually resolves within a day or two. Most patients resume normal activities almost immediately.
The full benefits of PRP are gradual. Hair regrowth may become noticeable after a few months, while improvements in skin texture and joint function may appear within weeks, depending on the condition being treated.
PRP is widely considered safe because it uses your own blood. Thus, this eliminates the risk of allergic reactions.
Most healthy adults are suitable candidates for PRP, especially those who prefer non-surgical solutions. However, people with bleeding disorders, active infections, or certain chronic illnesses may not be eligible.
Our doctors at U.n.i Klinik Sandakan will evaluate your medical history and treatment goals to ensure PRP is right for you.

No, PRP treatment does not cause cancer. It uses your own blood components to stimulate natural healing. There are no foreign substances or chemicals involved that could trigger cancer development.
PRP results are not permanent. Most patients require follow-up sessions to maintain their results, especially for hair restoration or joint relief. Results vary based on the condition treated and individual response.
Results typically last between 6 to 12 months.* For hair loss and skin treatments, multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart followed by periodic maintenance help prolong the effects.
* Disclaimer: This is a rough estimation. Individual results may vary depending on your condition, health status, and response to treatment.
Discomfort is minimal. A numbing cream or local anaesthesia is used to make the procedure more comfortable. You may feel slight pressure or pinching during the injections.
PRP is effective for many patients, but it’s not guaranteed for everyone. Outcomes depend on your condition, overall health, and consistency with follow-ups. It works best when paired with proper care and realistic expectations.
