  • Our blood consists of four primary components: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. The aim of our PRP treatment is to enrich the plasma with platelets, which are abundant in growth factors. These growth factors play a crucial role in stimulating hair follicle activity and promoting new hair growth.

    During the PRP treatment, a small sample of your own blood will be drawn, ensuring a completely safe and natural procedure. This blood will be processed to concentrate the platelets and their potent growth factors. These growth factors are scientifically proven to enhance hair count, increase hair thickness, and extend the growth phase of the hair cycle.

  • 1. Consultation: Begin your journey with a personalized consultation to tailor the treatment to your unique needs.

    2. Blood collection: A small sample of your own blood is drawn and processed to extract the PRP

    3. PRP injection: The concentrated PRP is expertly injected into your scalp, delivering potent growth factors directly to the hair follicles.

    4. Micro-needling: To further enhance the treatment's effectiveness, micro-needling is performed, stimulating the scalp and promoting optimal absorption of the PRP.

  • Pre and post-care instructions for PRF treatment can help optimise your treatment experience and promote proper healing.

    Pre-care:

    • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements: Some medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil, can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.

    • Avoid alcohol and caffeine: Minimise alcohol and caffeine consumption in the days leading up to your treatment to help reduce the risk of bruising.

    Post-care:

    • Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching the treated area for at least 4 hours to minimize infection risks.
    • Activities to Avoid: For the next 24 hours, avoid activities that induce sweating such as swimming, strenuous exercise, sauna, and jacuzzi.
    • Washing/Showering: Wait at least 12 hours before washing or showering your scalp.
    • Pressure and Rubbing: Do not apply pressure or rub the treated area excessively.
    • Ice Application: While ice can reduce swelling, refrain from applying it directly to the injected area unless necessary.
    • Medication: Avoid aspirin, advil, ibuprofen, voltaren, and other anti-inflammatory medications for 3 days following your procedure, ideally 7 days if possible. Use paracetamol for any discomfort.

  • • Expected Reactions: Mild swelling, itching, and tingling sensations are normal and typically subside within 24-48 hours.
    • Post-Treatment Symptoms: Bruising, redness, and soreness may occur for 2-5 days. Use paracetamol for any discomfort.
