What it is

PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) is a revolutionary treatment that uses your own blood to reduce wrinkles and stimulate hair growth.

How it works for skin

A small blood sample is taken from your arm, similar to a routine blood test. The blood is then placed into a specialist centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood. 

The concentrated PRP is then carefully applied or injected into the treatment area to stimulate natural repair and collagen production. 

Because PRP uses your own blood, it is a natural treatment with very low risk of reaction.

PRP for your hair

PRP Hair Restoration

A Natural Approach to Thicker, Healthier Hair

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Restoration is a non-surgical treatment designed to support hair growth, strengthen weakened follicles, and improve overall hair thickness and scalp health.

Using the healing and regenerative properties found in your own blood, PRP helps stimulate inactive or weakened hair follicles naturally.

This treatment is popular with both men and women experiencing thinning hair, excessive shedding, or early stages of hair loss.

How it works for hair

A small blood sample is taken from your arm, similar to a routine blood test. The blood is then placed into a specialist centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood.

The concentrated PRP contains powerful growth factors that are then carefully injected into the scalp in areas of thinning hair or hair loss.

These growth factors help to:

  • Stimulate dormant hair follicles

  • Improve blood supply to the scalp

  • Encourage stronger, healthier hair growth

  • Improve hair thickness and quality

  • Reduce excessive shedding

Because PRP uses your own blood, it is a very natural treatment with minimal risk of allergic reaction.

Who Is PRP Suitable For?

PRP works best for clients in the earlier stages of hair thinning and hair loss.

It may be suitable for:

  • Male pattern hair thinning

  • Female pattern hair thinning

  • Postpartum hair shedding

  • Stress-related hair loss

  • Thinning around the hairline or crown

  • Clients wanting to improve hair thickness and quality

  • People noticing increased shedding or weaker hair

PRP is generally most effective when hair follicles are still active. Areas that are completely bald for a long period of time may respond less effectively.

Who Might Not Be Suitable?

PRP may not be recommended for clients who:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Have certain blood disorders

  • Have active scalp infections or inflammation

  • Are undergoing chemotherapy

  • Take certain blood-thinning medications

  • Have severe or long-standing baldness with inactive follicles

A consultation is always carried out before treatment to ensure PRP is appropriate for you.

Recommended Treatment Plan

We recommend:

  • 1 treatment per month for 3 months

  • Then maintenance every 3 months

    Consistency is important for the best results.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

Hair growth is gradual, so results take time.

Most people will notice:

  • A reduced shedding after the first few treatments

  • An Improved hair condition and texture within 2–3 months

  • An Increased thickness and density over several months

Results vary depending on the individual and the stage of hair thinning.

Downtime

The good news is PRP Hair Restoration involves minimal downtime!

You may experience:

  • Mild redness

  • Tenderness of the scalp

  • Slight swelling or sensitivity for 24–48 hours

Most clients return to normal activities the same day.
