PRP Therapy- Thicken your hair and prevent ongoing hair loss

PRP for Hair Loss — What It Is and When It's Worth Considering

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy involves drawing a small amount of blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and injecting the resulting plasma into the scalp. The theory is that concentrated growth factors stimulate hair follicles and improve the scalp environment for hair growth.

How it works

Blood is drawn from the arm and placed in a centrifuge which separates it into components. The platelet-rich portion is extracted and injected directly into the scalp at follicle level. The process takes 30 to 60 minutes and requires no recovery time.

What the evidence actually says

For male androgenetic alopecia — standard male pattern baldness — the clinical evidence for PRP is weak. Studies are small, inconsistently designed, and the results are difficult to replicate. We don't recommend PRP as a primary treatment for male pattern hair loss. If you're a man with typical pattern baldness, finasteride, dutasteride or compounded topical minoxidil have substantially stronger evidence behind them and cost considerably less per year.

Where PRP may have a role

The picture is more nuanced for women with complex or diffuse hair thinning, where conventional medications haven't achieved the desired result and the treatment options are more limited. In these cases PRP may be worth considering as part of a broader treatment approach. The evidence remains limited but the risk profile is low.

We offer PRP selectively for women where we believe it may genuinely help — not as a routine upsell.

What it involves

Sessions take 30 to 60 minutes. A course of treatments produces better results than a single session. We'll give you an honest assessment at consultation of whether PRP is appropriate for your situation before recommending it.
