PRP Treatment at a glance
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair treatment uses a small sample of your own blood, which is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. This growth-factor-rich plasma is then introduced into the thinning areas of the scalp to nourish weak follicles, reduce hair fall and support thicker regrowth. A typical course is 3 to 6 sessions, about a month apart.
How PRP works
Platelets carry natural growth factors that help the body repair and regenerate tissue. When concentrated plasma is delivered to the scalp, these growth factors help wake up weak hair follicles, extend the growth phase of the hair and improve the thickness of existing strands.
The PRP procedure
A small amount of blood is drawn, much like a routine blood test. It is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. After numbing the scalp, the plasma is introduced across the thinning areas using very fine needles. The whole session takes about an hour.
Results and aftercare
Many clients notice reduced shedding after the first two or three sessions, with better density over three to six months. Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours and avoid heat styling, colouring and heavy exercise for a few days. Maintenance sessions every four to six months help sustain results.

PRP Treatment: frequently asked questions
Is PRP hair treatment painful?
We apply numbing cream before treatment, so most people feel only mild pricking and pressure. The scalp may feel tender for a day.
How many PRP sessions are needed?
Usually three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart, followed by maintenance every four to six months.
Who should avoid PRP?
PRP may not be suitable if you have a blood or platelet disorder, take blood thinners, have an active scalp infection, or are pregnant. We review this at your consultation.
Is PRP better than GFC?
Both use growth factors from your blood. GFC is more concentrated and often needs fewer sessions, while PRP is a well-established option. We recommend the one that suits your hair and budget.
Results vary from person to person. Session numbers and timelines are typical guides that we confirm at your consultation. Read our medical disclaimer.
