Platelet Rich Plasma Hair Therapy

To create your PRP a small amount of your blood is taken and then placed in a centrifuge to separate the different types of blood cells.  The platelet rich part of your blood is then extracted to make your personalised PRP serum rich in growth factors.

Whilst your PRP serum is being prepared your practitioner will gently inject local anaesthetic to make the procedure more comfortable.

Using specialised equipment your PRP serum is then injected into your scalp, where you are experiencing hair loss, to strengthen and stimulate your hair follicles to promote thicker hair growth.

Immediately afterwards you will experience redness and mild tenderness with slight bleeding on your scalp 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.

PRP therapy works with the natural growth cycle of your hair follicles, so new patients need repeat treatments every 4-6 weeks. Most patients need:

• 3 treatments to reduce hair loss,
• 6 treatments to encourage hair growth. 

So, you will need an initial course of 3-6 treatments. Optimum results are seen 6 months after the last treatment. 

We recommended a maintenance treatment every 6 months

Yes you can combine PRP hair treatments with:

• Keravive treatments
• Minoxidil treatments
• LED light treatments
• Specialised shampoos and conditioners

However, such a treatment plan should be carefully co-ordinated and discussed with your practitioner.

New patients must have a 30 minute consultation with a doctor or nurse to check their medical history and determine the best treatment plan for them. As every treatment plan is tailored to the individual - an accurate price will be given at your consultation, but starting prices are indicated above.
