PRP Skin & Hair Rejuvenation

Prior to undergoing scalp PRP therapy, patients will need to consult with a hair restoration doctor to determine whether they are good candidates for the treatment. During the consultation, the specialist will assess the patient’s hair loss pattern and overall health to determine whether PRP therapy is right for them. If the patient is deemed a good candidate, they will then need to have their blood drawn.

The scalp PRP procedure is fairly simple. First, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient. This blood is then placed in a centrifuge, which spins it and separates the platelets from the other blood cells. The platelets are then injected into the scalp in the areas where hair loss is occurring. The whole process takes less than an hour, and there is no downtime afterwards. Most patients see results within a few months, with continued improvement over the next year.

After the PRP Hair Treatment procedure, it is important to keep the area clean and dry for a few hours. You may also experience some numbness or tingling, which is also temporary. There is no further downtime and you can carry on with your routine activities from the next day.

PRP injections are the future of medicine. Using the components in your own blood, our doctors can stimulate healing that starts from deep within. First, we’ll withdraw some of your blood; then we’ll put your blood into one of our advanced centrifuges to extract the platelets. (Platelets are known to contain growth factors that spur healing.) We’ll then inject that solution directly into the scalp in the affected areas with hair loss. PRP will thicken existing hair follicles and re-ignite dormant hair follicles.

The injection is not painful and the area will be fully numbed prior to treatment.

This needs careful assessment and depends on the severity of the original Hair Loss and results desired. You will initially need a course of six treatments. These are monthly for three months and then every three months for the following nine months. Usually in women, top-up treatments are advised every 6-12 months to help maintain the rejuvenation and catch every hair cycle. With men, having the treatments more frequently is beneficial.

This will all be discussed with you during your consultation and be listed in your bespoke Treatment Plan after discussing your needs, lifestyle and budget.

It often takes between 30-90 minutes for a patient to get ready and have time to recover.

Commonly treated areas include around the eyes, the jaw line, cheeks forehead, nasolabial lines, marionette lines and neck.

PRP improves skin texture and tone and regenerates collagen which helps reduce wrinkles and lines, improve skin texture around the delicate eye area, tackle blemishes, improve scarring and restore a healthy glow.

Because you are using your own blood with no foreign substances, side effects are minimal. The injection process may cause some bruising, swelling and tenderness. As the platelets are the patients own there is no risk of transmissible diseases or allergic reactions. Infection risk is minimised by ensuring sterile technique and equipment. 

Unfortunately not. Patients with abnormal platelet function, clotting disorders and chronic liver disease are not suitable for PRP therapy. Unfortunately not. Patients with abnormal platelet function, clotting disorders and chronic liver disease are not suitable for PRP therapy.
