PRP Hair Treatment
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment is a personalised, minimally invasive procedure that uses a concentrated portion of the patient's own blood components to support the scalp and hair follicles. It may be considered for selected types of hair thinning after individual assessment.
What Is PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP hair treatment involves drawing a small amount of the patient's own blood, processing it to concentrate platelets and related growth factors, and then introducing the prepared PRP into selected areas of the scalp.
The treatment is generally considered for selected patients with hair thinning where the follicles may still be present but producing finer or weaker hairs. A scalp and hair assessment is important before deciding whether PRP is suitable.
Treatment plans may involve a series of sessions followed by review and, when appropriate, maintenance treatment. The exact schedule depends on the patient's diagnosis, hair pattern and response.
Why Do Patients Consider PRP Treatment?
PRP may be considered when a patient has selected patterns of hair thinning and the scalp assessment suggests that regenerative treatment may be appropriate. The underlying cause of hair loss should always be considered.
Pattern Hair Thinning
PRP may be considered for selected patients with pattern-related thinning after appropriate assessment.
Reduced Hair Density
Patients noticing gradual reduction in density may seek treatment aimed at supporting existing follicles.
Finer Hair Growth
Where follicles remain but hairs have become finer, PRP may be discussed as one treatment option.
Early Hair Loss
Earlier assessment can help identify the cause of thinning and determine which treatment options may be appropriate.
Scalp & Follicle Support
PRP is intended to support the local scalp environment and should be planned around the patient's individual condition.
Adjunct to Hair Restoration
In selected cases, PRP may be discussed alongside other medical or surgical hair-restoration approaches.
PRP Is Individualised to the Patient.
PRP treatment is not identical for every patient. The approach depends on the pattern and cause of hair loss, scalp condition, existing hair density and the overall treatment goals.
Discuss Your Hair ConcernsPRP Preparation
A small blood sample is collected and processed to prepare platelet-rich plasma for treatment.
Targeted Scalp Injection
Prepared PRP is introduced into selected scalp areas according to the treatment plan.
Serial Treatment Sessions
When appropriate, treatment may be planned as a series of sessions rather than a single visit.
Review & Maintenance
Follow-up helps assess response and determine whether further or maintenance treatment is appropriate.
Combination Planning
PRP may sometimes be considered alongside other evidence-based hair-restoration treatments when clinically appropriate.
What Happens During PRP Hair Treatment?
The process is designed to be straightforward and personalised, with the treatment plan determined after assessment of the scalp and pattern of hair loss.
Consultation
Hair history, scalp condition, pattern of thinning and treatment goals are assessed.
Blood Collection
A small amount of the patient's own blood is collected for PRP preparation.
PRP Preparation
The sample is processed to obtain the platelet-rich plasma used for treatment.
Scalp Treatment
PRP is injected into selected scalp areas followed by aftercare and review instructions.
Who May Be Considered?
- Patients with selected patterns of hair thinning after clinical assessment.
- People with realistic expectations about gradual and variable outcomes.
- Patients with sufficient existing follicles for the planned treatment approach.
- Those who understand that PRP may be one part of a broader hair-restoration plan.
- Patients who are suitable for a minimally invasive scalp treatment following consultation.
Important Considerations
- The cause of hair loss should be assessed before treatment.
- PRP cannot restore follicles that are no longer present.
- Results vary and may require a series of treatments and ongoing review.
- Some patients may benefit more from other medical or surgical options.
- Medical history, medications and scalp health should be discussed before treatment.
Recovery Is Usually Short, With Gradual Follow-Up.
PRP is minimally invasive, but temporary scalp tenderness, redness, swelling or mild discomfort can occur after injections. The exact recovery experience varies between patients and depends on the treatment performed.
Mild tenderness, redness or a tight sensation may occur at treated areas.
Temporary scalp sensitivity generally settles progressively. Follow the clinic's aftercare advice.
Hair changes are gradual and should not be judged immediately after treatment.
Progress can be reviewed to determine response and whether further sessions are appropriate.
PRP Hair Treatment Before & After.
Hair-restoration results are individual and may depend on the underlying cause of hair loss, baseline density, treatment plan and response. Use only appropriately consented patient photographs and approved clinical descriptions.
