Frequently Asked Questions

PRP treatment for hair loss involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the platelet-rich plasma into your scalp. The growth factors in the PRP stimulate your hair follicles, promoting hair growth and improving hair density. As a trichologist, I ensure this treatment is tailored to your specific hair and scalp needs.

Stimulates Hair Growth: PRP contains growth factors that activate the hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth and thickening existing hair. This makes it an excellent option for individuals experiencing hair thinning or common patterns of hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia.

Enhances Hair Health: Beyond merely promoting growth, PRP can improve the overall health and appearance of your hair by nourishing the scalp and hair follicles, leading to healthier, stronger hair.

Safe and Natural: Since PRP utilises your own blood, the treatment is very safe, with a minimal risk of allergic reactions or infections. It's a naturally derived treatment that leverages your body’s own healing mechanisms.

Minimal Downtime: PRP treatments are non-surgical and usually quick, with procedures often completed within about an hour. Since it's minimally invasive, recovery time is brief, allowing you to resume normal activities almost immediately.
Works Well with Other Treatments: PRP can be effectively combined with other hair loss treatments and therapies, potentially enhancing the effectiveness of treatments such as minoxidil, finasteride, or even surgical options like hair transplants.

Preventive Treatment: Initiating PRP treatments early in the hair loss process can significantly slow the progression of hair loss, making it a proactive preventative measure as well as a treatment for existing hair loss.
