If your hair lacks radiance and density and the signs of aging are beginning to show you may find that your hair loss will dramatically reduce with this simple, convenient treatment.

If you are suffering with androgenetic alopecia , alopecia areata or have recently had a hair transplant - PRP therapy could help you.

PRP is selectively and carefully delivered into specific areas with a series of injections.

Before the treatment you will be assessed to see if PRP is the right treatment for you.

Platelet-rich plasma is concentrated blood plasma that contains approximately five times the number of platelets found in normal circulating blood. Our blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells and cells known as platelets.

Human blood mainly contains red blood cells (93%), white blood cells (1%) and platelets (6%), and all of them are carried by the plasma. During platelet-rich plasma skin therapy, the red blood cell count reduces to 5%, platelets rise to 94%, and the white blood cells counts remain constant.

PRP treatment increases blood flow and reduces inflammation around the follicle. The function of platelets is to promote healing and aid in clotting blood at the site of a wound. Platelets contain growth factors that promote regeneration of the cells in the body, including the area of damaged hair follicles.

PRP Therapy is a straightforward and safe procedure where blood is taken just like a regular blood test. The blood is put into a centrifugal machine for 8 to 10 minutes and spun. This process facilitates blood separation, and then the platelet-rich plasma is collected and injected into the desired area.

PRP treatment for hair rejuvenation involves the injection of a patient’s own plasma and growth factors to improve hair density and the acceleration of hair growth to improve the appearance of hair thickness and condition.

The treatment takes as little as 30 minutes, and patients usually start with a course of three treatments, 2-4 weeks apart. Most patients begin to see early-stage improvement from 3-6 months and the full effects from 6-12 months. It is essential to note top-up treatment requirements for maintaining thicker, fuller hair.

You can immediately return to your regular daily routine, but strenuous activity and alcohol consumption should be avoided 24 hours post-procedure. Patients may experience a little shedding of hair within the first 1-2 months – this is normal and means the treatment is working.

If you find the programme of PRP injections helpful, the treatment may be safely repeated. It is important to know that top-up treatments can be given to maintain thicker, fuller hair. It is recommended to always have follow-up sessions to ensure better results.

The risks are minimal because PRP therapy involves injecting your own blood into your scalp, so you aren’t at risk for getting a communicable disease.

However during your consultation please be sure to report all your health issues & medications you’re on before the procedure including supplements and herbs.
