PRP therapy is well suited to men and women experiencing early-stage hair loss or general hair thinning, especially where active hair follicles are still present. It’s often recommended for conditions such as pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), patchy hair loss (alopecia areata), and stress-related or hormonal shedding, including changes linked to perimenopause and postpartum recovery.

It can also be helpful for individuals who’ve experienced hair thinning after sudden weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, or the use of certain medications, such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, or Mounjaro®—all of which are increasingly associated with temporary hair shedding.

PRP works by stimulating and strengthening existing follicles, making it most effective in areas where the hair is thinning rather than completely bald. It’s a great option for those seeking a non-surgical, natural approach to hair restoration, or looking to enhance the results of other treatments.

You’ll receive a tailored recommendation during your consultation based on your hair loss type, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

Most patients require a minimum of three PRP sessions, spaced around six weeks apart, to begin seeing meaningful results. For those with more advanced hair loss, up to six initial sessions may be recommended as part of a complete hair restoration plan.

After the initial course, maintenance sessions are typically advised every 4, 6, or 9 months, depending on your type of hair loss, how well you respond to treatment, and whether you’re using any supporting therapies. PRP works best when combined with a personalised, holistic treatment plan, and results are cumulative—each session builds on the last to improve hair density, strength, and follicle activity over time.

PRP therapy involves a series of tiny injections into the scalp, which most patients describe as mildly uncomfortable but very manageable. The treatment is quick, and any discomfort is typically short-lived.

Numbing gel is not used, as it can reduce blood flow and affect the effectiveness of the treatment. Instead, I use a careful, gentle injection technique to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout the process.

Some patients may notice mild redness, tenderness, or swelling after treatment, but this usually settles within 24–48 hours.

Results vary from patient to patient, but many begin to notice a reduction in hair shedding within 4–6 weeks of starting PRP treatment. Visible signs of hair thickening and regrowth typically appear between 3 to 6 months, depending on the cause and severity of hair loss, as well as any supporting treatments being used.

Because hair grows in cycles, progress continues to build over time, with optimal results often seen around the 9–12 month mark.

I take photographs at every session to closely monitor your response to treatment, so we can ensure you’re moving in the right direction and make adjustments if needed. You’ll feel supported and looked after every step of the way.

PRP therapy is generally very safe because it uses your own blood plasma, which significantly reduces the risk of allergic reactions or complications.

Unlike many aesthetic clinics, I use a pure PRP system with no separator gel or additives, which further reduces the risk of irritation and ensures you’re receiving a high-quality, natural treatment with the most active growth factors possible.

Some patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, but these symptoms are usually very mild and resolve within 24–48 hours. There’s no downtime, and most patients return to normal activities the same day.

You’ll also receive aftercare advice and support to help optimise your recovery and results.
