What happens in a PRP hair treatment?

To create your PRP a small amount of your blood is taken and then placed in a centrifuge to separate the different types of blood cells.  The platelet rich part of your blood is then extracted to make your personalised PRP serum rich in growth factors.

Whilst your PRP serum is being prepared your practitioner will gently inject local anaesthetic to make the procedure more comfortable.

Using specialised equipment your PRP serum is then injected into your scalp, where you are experiencing hair loss, to strengthen and stimulate your hair follicles to promote thicker hair growth.

Immediately afterwards you will experience redness and mild tenderness with slight bleeding on your scalp which will resolve in 48 hours. 

Post treatment you must not wash your hair until the following day and cannot use hair styling products for 48 hours. The appearance of your hair during this period will be unattractive and you may wish to arrange time away from work or social activities.
