Hair & Scalp
PRP Hair Treatment
An in-clinic procedure using your own platelet-rich plasma to support the scalp.
Treatment Overview
PRP involves preparing a concentrate from a small sample of your own blood and injecting it into the scalp. It is used as part of a broader hair plan, not as a standalone solution.
Who May Benefit
- Patients with early to moderate patterned hair loss
- Those with diffuse thinning where follicles are still active
- Patients seeking an adjunct to medical hair therapy
How the Treatment Works
Platelets contain growth factors that are thought to support the follicular environment. The concentrate is delivered into the scalp at the level of the hair roots.
The Treatment Process
- 01
Eligibility check
Assessment of hair loss type and general health.

Blood draw
A small sample is taken and processed in a centrifuge.
- 03
Scalp injection
The concentrate is injected across the treatment area.

What to Expect
Numbing is used and most patients describe brief discomfort during injections. Mild scalp tenderness for a day afterwards is common.
Number of Sessions
A course of sessions spaced roughly a month apart is typical, followed by maintenance sessions where advised.
Aftercare
- Avoid washing the scalp for the advised period
- Skip swimming, saunas and heavy exercise for a day or two

Potential Risks & Considerations
