PRP Hair Restoration

Overview

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss uses your own blood’s growth factors to stimulate dormant hair follicles, increase hair density, and improve hair quality. It can be used as a standalone treatment or to complement FUE hair transplant results.

PRP is prepared from a small blood sample, concentrated, and injected directly into the scalp at the areas of thinning.

How It Works

1

Blood Draw

A small blood sample (20-60ml) is taken from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.

2

PRP Preparation

Your blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma containing growth factors.

3

Scalp Injection

The PRP is injected into the scalp at areas of thinning using fine needles. Topical anaesthetic is applied for comfort.

4

Treatment Course

A series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance sessions every 6-12 months.

Benefits

  • Uses your own blood — no synthetic products
  • Stimulates natural hair growth
  • No downtime or recovery period
  • Can be combined with hair transplant
  • Improves hair thickness and quality
