Improved hair density
Hair loss and thinning affect most people at some point, usually as a result of stress, pregnancy, medication, hormonal changes or ageing. PRP therapy is a simple and relatively cost-effective treatment for these concerns.
PRP therapy for hair loss uses concentrated growth factors from the patient’s own blood to stimulate skin cell turnover, collagen and elastin production. Most patients will see a significant improvement in their hair with reduced loss of strands and a considerable increase in density and thickness.
The treatment process step-by-step
Step 1
The treatment takes about one hour, which includes a detailed consultation with your doctor.
Step 2
First, we administer a local anaesthetic to block any feeling in the scalp area.
Step 3
We take a blood sample from your arm and extract the PRP.
Step 4
We make a series of small PRP injections into the scalp.
Step 5
We microneedle the scalp to create new microchannels.
Step 6
Finally, we administer small injections of Pluryal Mesoline into the scalp.

Frequently asked questions
Patients should not be treated with PRP if they have abnormal platelet function, chronic liver disease, or clotting disorders.
As with all injection procedures, risks include bleeding, infection and nerve damage.
As the PRP comes from the patient’s own blood, there is no risk of immunogenic reaction or disease transmission.
We perform PRP therapy under local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort.
The effects develop fully over three months as your collagen and elastin levels increase. You will begin to see results within three months of your final session.
A full PRP treatment for hair loss requires 4–6 sessions in total, four weeks or so apart.
