PRP for hair restoration

Platelets from your own blood, placed in the scalp to support hair restoration.

How it can help

Thinning hair affects how many people feel about themselves. PRP for hair restoration uses platelets concentrated from your own blood and places them in the areas of the scalp where hair is thinning.

It is usually given as a course of sessions, and it tends to suit people whose thinning is at an earlier stage. At your consultation we look at the likely cause of your hair loss first, because that decides whether PRP makes sense.

Who it may suit

Early to moderate hair thinning
A widening part or thinning crown
People who want to use their own biology
Those looking to combine treatment with lifestyle changes

Common questions

How many sessions will I need?

A course of several sessions is common, followed by maintenance for some people. You will get a suggested plan at your consultation.

When might I notice a change?

Hair grows slowly, so any change usually takes months rather than weeks. Results vary and are not guaranteed.

Who should not have PRP?

PRP may not be suitable for people with certain blood or platelet disorders, an active infection in the treatment area, or some other conditions. Your doctor will check this at your consultation.
