Overview
PRP takes a small sample of your blood, separates it in a centrifuge and injects the platelet-rich plasma into the scalp with very fine needles. The aim is to thicken hairs that have become miniaturised and to slow shedding; it does not grow hair on a completely bald area where the follicle has gone. A session lasts about 30 minutes and a course of 3–4 sessions, roughly a month apart, is the usual plan.
Benefits
- Prepared from your own blood, with no drug or filler added
- A session takes around 30 minutes and you carry on with your day afterwards
- Aims to thicken fine, weakened hairs and slow the rate of shedding
- Can be planned after a hair transplant to support healing and existing hair
- The effect of a 3–4 session course is usually assessed at month six
Who is this treatment for?

- Anyone looking for a treatment to support medical therapy
Needs assessment first
- Completely bald, shiny areas where the follicles have gone

Completing the course and follow-up
Sessions are usually repeated three or four times at monthly intervals. The result is compared against your photographs at month six.
Aftercare & long-term tips
Do not wash your hair on the day of treatment and avoid dye or chemical processing. Skip sport, saunas and alcohol that day; you can go back to your usual routine the next morning. Photographing your hair in the same light between sessions makes the comparison much easier.
First 24 hours
Stick to soft, lukewarm foods and drinks; avoid very hot or hard items while any numbness or sensitivity settles.
First few days
Ease back into normal eating as sensitivity fades — usually within a few days.
Long term
Eat normally and protect your result with the simple habits below.
Do
- Brush twice a day and floss daily
- Attend your regular check-ups and cleanings
- Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
- Keep the area clean and rinse as advised
Avoid

Risks and an honest expectation
Because PRP is prepared from your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction is low; even so, the injection sites can be tender, red and swollen for a few days and infection is possible in rare cases. The draw and preparation are done in a single-use closed system. The effect varies between people, repeat sessions are needed if shedding continues, and it is not a permanent solution on its own.
