Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
The Science behind PRP
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Platelet‑Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a revolutionary, non‑surgical treatment that uses your body’s own platelets and growth factors to naturally restore hair growth and scalp health. A small amount of your blood is processed to concentrate platelets—cells rich in regenerative proteins that activate and strengthen dormant hair follicles.
How PRP Works for Hair Loss
PRP is gently injected into thinning areas of the scalp, where it releases powerful growth factors that:
• Stimulate inactive follicles and encourage new hair growth.
• Improve scalp circulation and nutrient supply.
• Strengthen existing strands and slow future shedding.
• Rejuvenate the scalp environment for long‑term hair health.
Over time, PRP helps improve hair thickness, density, and overall vitality — producing natural results without surgery or synthetic chemicals.
Safety and Effectiveness
PRP is 100% natural and biocompatible, using only your blood — no additives or foreign substances. Supported by multiple clinical studies, PRP has shown measurable increases in hair density and thickness, with minimal discomfort and no significant downtime. Most people return to work or normal activity shortly after treatment.
Hair and Scalp Concerns Treated with PRP
• Hair thinning or excessive shedding.
• Male and female pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia).
• Weak, brittle strands and poor scalp condition.
• Early‑stage hair loss or postpartum shedding.
• Maintenance following other hair restoration treatments.

Frequently asked questions about PRP
-
Think of PRP as your body’s natural fertiliser for hair growth. It stands for Platelet‑Rich Plasma — a treatment that uses your own blood to boost scalp health and hair regrowth. After a small blood draw, your blood is spun in a special machine to separate plasma full of “growth factors.” These are healing proteins that wake up sleepy hair follicles and encourage stronger, healthier strands.
-
Unlike creams or pills that work from the outside in, PRP works from within. We use the regenerative power already inside your blood - no chemicals, no artificial products. It’s like recycling your body’s own healing energy directly back into your scalp.
-
PRP is great for individuals noticing early or moderate hair thinning. It also helps if you’re seeing more hair fall than usual or want to improve your overall scalp health. Since it’s non‑surgical and uses your blood, it’s suitable for most healthy adults.
-
Most people start with 6 sessions spaced a month apart. Think of this as your “starter program.” After that, a top‑up every 3 to 6 months keeps your scalp and follicles in great condition.
-
PRP isn’t an overnight fix - it works with your body’s natural hair cycle. You’ll likely notice less shedding and smoother hair after a few weeks. Visible thickening usually appears in 3 to 6 months, and results continue to build over time as your follicles revive.
-
Yes - PRP is one of the safest hair restoration options available. Because it comes from your own blood, there’s almost zero risk of allergies or rejection. Your body recognises it naturally.
-
Almost none. You can return to your normal routine straight away. We recommend avoiding hair washing or styling products for 24 hours to let your scalp rest.
