PRP for Hair Loss

What is PRP for Hair Loss?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative medicine approach gaining significant traction in hair restoration. PRP is derived from your own blood, which is then processed to concentrate platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors crucial in tissue repair and regeneration. When injected into the scalp, PRP stimulates dormant hair follicles, promotes new hair growth, and thickens existing hair shafts.

Benefits of PRP for Hair Loss

  • Natural and Safe: PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, minimising the risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects.
  • Minimally Invasive: The procedure is relatively quick and can be performed in a doctor’s office under local anaesthesia.
  • Effective: A growing body of evidence supports the efficacy of PRP in stimulating hair growth, improving hair thickness, and slowing down hair loss progression.

Who is a Candidate for PRP Therapy?

PRP therapy is typically recommended for individuals experiencing early stages of hair loss or those with thinning hair. It is suitable for both men and women and can be used to treat various types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness).

Important Considerations

While PRP therapy shows promise for hair restoration, it’s essential to note that results may vary. Multiple sessions are often required to achieve optimal results, and maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain hair growth.

The PRP Hair Restoration Process: Step-by-Step

The entire procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes and is generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort. While some patients may experience mild swelling or tenderness at the injection sites, these side effects usually subside within a day or two.

  • Consultation

    An initial consultation with a qualified medical professional is essential to assess your suitability for PRP therapy and discuss your hair loss concerns and goals.

  • Blood Draw

    A small amount of blood (usually 10-20 ml) is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.

  • Centrifugation

    The collected blood is placed in a centrifuge, which rapidly spins the sample to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other blood components.

  • Injection

    Using a fine needle, the activated PRP is carefully injected into the scalp, specifically targeting areas with hair thinning or loss.

  • Post-Treatment Care

    You will be provided with aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. These may include avoiding strenuous activity for a day or two, keeping the scalp clean, and applying any prescribed medications or topical solutions.

  • Follow-up

    Multiple PRP sessions may be recommended to achieve the desired results depending on your individual case. Regular follow-up appointments with us will help monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
