What Is PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It is a concentrated component of your own blood that contains platelets and naturally occurring growth factors.
For hair PRP treatment, a small blood sample is collected and placed into a centrifuge. This separates the blood into its different components, allowing the platelet-rich plasma to be collected.
The PRP is then introduced into selected areas of the scalp using a series of small injections. The treatment is designed to support existing follicles rather than replace lost follicles, making it different from a hair transplant.

How PRP for Hair Loss Works
A Simple, Regenerative Approach
Your own blood is used to prepare the PRP, which is then delivered directly to areas of concern on the scalp.
Supporting Existing Follicles
The growth factors found in PRP may help create a more supportive environment for existing hair follicles and encourage healthier-looking growth.
Gradual, Natural-Looking Improvement
PRP does not create an instant change in hair density. Any improvement develops gradually, with results differing from one person to another.
Your PRP Hair Treatment Journey
Consultation
Your treatment begins with a one-to-one consultation with a qualified practitioner. We will discuss your concerns, assess your scalp and hair loss pattern, and review your medical history.
Preparation
Before your appointment, you will receive simple guidance to help you prepare. It is advisable to arrive well hydrated and to have eaten beforehand.
Treatment
A small amount of your blood is taken and processed using a centrifuge. The platelet-rich plasma is separated and prepared for treatment.
Aftercare
Most people can return to their usual routine shortly after treatment. Your scalp may feel mildly tender, and some redness or small areas of bruising can occur around the injection sites.
You will receive individual aftercare advice based on your treatment.
The Benefits of Hair PRP Treatment
Supports Hair Follicle Health
PRP is designed to support existing follicles and the surrounding scalp environment.
May Improve Hair Thickness
For suitable patients, treatment may contribute to thicker, fuller-looking hair over time.
Minimally Invasive
Unlike surgical hair restoration, PRP involves injections and does not require the removal or transplantation of hair follicles.
Uses Your Own Platelet-Rich Plasma
The treatment uses a concentrated component of your own blood, rather than a synthetic substance.
Little Downtime
There is generally little interruption to your normal routine following treatment, although temporary scalp sensitivity can occur.
Can Be Tailored to You
The number and frequency of treatments can be discussed according to your hair loss, response to treatment, and individual goals.
What to Expect After PRP
1
First Few Days
The scalp may feel tender or sensitive. Follow the aftercare advice provided and avoid unnecessarily touching or irritating the treated areas.
2
Following Weeks
Your scalp continues to settle. Hair growth does not occur immediately, and the timeline for any visible changes varies between individuals.
3
Following Months
If you respond to treatment, changes in hair thickness and density may become more apparent gradually. Your practitioner can advise whether further sessions may be beneficial.
4
Longer Term
Hair loss is an ongoing process for many people. Depending on your individual response, your practitioner may discuss whether maintenance treatment or another approach could form part of your longer-term plan.
