Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

"A natural way to reduce hair thinning"

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy can be used to stimulate your body's natural ability to repair and regenerate skin cells or hair follicles.

PRP is blood plasma with concentrated platelets (the body's repairmen for damaged tissue). The concentrated platelets found in PRP contain growth factors that initiate and accelerate tissue repair and regeneration.

We create the PRP from your own blood, so there are no toxins, chemicals or foreign bodies involved. Blood is taken from you and then placed in a centrifuge, a machine which spins at high speed, to separate the different types of blood cells.  

Your practitioner will then extract the platelet rich part of your blood and inject it into the area to be treated at the correct depth to treat the cells, tissue or hair follicles desired.

PRP Skin Treatments

PRP is a wonderfully natural way to improve the following skin conditions:

  • Dark circles under the eye.
  • Acne scarring.
  • Stretch marks. 
  • Crepey, dehydrated skin.

You will need an initial course of 3 treatments, spaced 6 weeks apart, which is then followed by a maintenance treatment every 6 months.

PRP works on the natural cycle of your skin cell regeneration, so your results will start to show 6 months after the first treatment.

Recovery after a PRP skin treatment is quick with minimum downtime. However, you should expect temporary redness, tenderness and slight bleeding on the treated area that will resolve in 48 hours.

PRP Hair Treatments

PRP is an excellent preventative treatment for thinning hair and to delay hair loss.

The PRP is injected into your scalp, where it strengthens and stimulates your hair follicles to promote thicker fuller hair. Typically 3 treatments are required to maintain your hair and 6 to encourage growth. So, you will need an initial course of 3-6 treatments. We recommended a maintenance treatment every 6 months.

As the PRP treatment works with the natural growth cycle of your hair follicles, you will see results 6 months after the last treatment.

You will experience redness, tenderness and slight bleeding on the scalp after treatment which will resolve in 48 hours. Post treatment you must not wash your hair until the following day and cannot use hair styling products for 48 hours. The appearance of your hair during this period will be unattractive and you may wish to arrange time away from work or social activities.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

Is PRP safe?

Yes - the major advantage of PRP is that it involves no foreign substances, because your own growth factors extracted from your own blood are used. Which means there is no risk of any disease transmission or allergic reaction.

Since 2009 medical research on the safety of PRP has been gaining momentum and now both the US FDA and UK's NICE regulatory bodies have confirmed that PRP treatments are safe.

PRP is used by some NHS trusts in accelerating recovery post operations. PRP is also widely used in sports medicine, with famous athletes such as Tiger Woods and Rafael Nadal benefitting from PRP treatments to sprained knees and chronic tendon injuries.

Does PRP hurt?

Our skilled medical team use topical or local anaesthetic on the areas to be treated to ensure your comfort. While the treatments are painless some aspects of the PRP application, such as injections around the eyes or the amount of blood visible, can cause anxiety, but our medical assistants will be on hand to comfort and calm you.

Who is suitable for PRP?

We provide PRP treatments for skin rejuvenation and to reduce hair loss. We do not treat sports injuries. A consultation and physical examination is required to determine if PRP is a suitable treatment for your concern.
