WHAT IS IT?

What is PRP hair treatment?

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, uses a sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets in plasma before scalp injections. Platelets release signalling proteins called growth factors. Researchers are investigating how these signals may influence hair follicles and the hair-growth cycle.

THE SCIENCE, IN PLAIN ENGLISH

The research behind PRP hair treatment

Clinical research · pattern hair loss

Clinical trials in people with pattern hair loss reported greater hair-density gains with PRP than with saline placebo. Suitability is assessed individually.

Improved hair density after a course of PRP

PRP-treated scalp areas gained more hair density than saline-treated areas after three sessions.

Gentile et al. · 2015

Greater density than placebo at six months

Total hair density improved more with PRP than with saline at six months.

Study details & references

Research in context

Clinical trials have reported improvements in hair density with PRP for pattern hair loss. In randomised comparisons, PRP-treated scalp areas gained more density than areas treated with saline placebo. These findings provide a positive basis for discussing PRP after the cause of your thinning and individual suitability have been assessed.

These studies involved limited numbers of participants and specific PRP preparations. Your treatment plan, the cause of hair loss and individual response all matter. A consultation helps set a suitable course and realistic review points; results vary.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Before your appointment.

Who might consider it?

PRP may be considered for some forms of hair thinning. Whether it is appropriate depends on the cause of the loss, your scalp and your health history. It is not a treatment for every type of hair loss. A GP assessment can help establish the cause first.

What should I know before treatment?

Discuss your medical history, medicines, suitability, possible benefits and alternatives at consultation. Tenderness, bruising, swelling and infection are possible risks. Becky will explain the preparation and aftercare relevant to your appointment.

How is a course planned?

The clinic’s 12-week programme includes three PRP and microneedling sessions spaced four weeks apart. A separate treatment schedule or maintenance plan should be discussed individually. Results vary, and regrowth is not guaranteed.
