Address hair loss concerns with our innovative PRP scalp therapy at HPD Health & Wellbeing. Under the expert care of Dr Isran Sajid, we utilise your body’s growth factors to promote hair regrowth and improve scalp health.

PRP Scalp Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses the power of concentrated growth factors. It is injected directly into the scalp to stimulate dormant hair follicles and encourage new growth while improving the hair’s thickness, strength, and overall vitality.

This treatment is particularly effective for postnatal and menopausal hair loss, receding hairlines, thinning hair, and pattern baldness. It is frequently used to address conditions such as androgenic alopecia and hair loss caused by ageing, stress, or hormonal changes.

PRP provides a highly effective, safe solution for improving hair vitality using a natural, minimally invasive approach.

What is PRP Scalp Therapy?

PRP scalp therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses your own blood plasma, rich in growth factors and platelets, to stimulate hair follicles and promote natural hair growth. This process can help to improve hair thickness, reduce hair loss, and enhance overall scalp health.

PRP scalp therapy can be beneficial if you have

• Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness)
• Thinning hair
• Receding hairline
• Early stages of hair loss
• Alopecia areata (patchy hair loss)

The PRP Scalp Therapy Process

The PRP scalp therapy treatment involves the following steps:

• Consultation: We assess your scalp condition and discuss your hair restoration goals.
• Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test.
• PRP Preparation: Your blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
• Treatment: The PRP is injected into specific areas of the scalp using very fine needles.
• Aftercare: We provide instructions for post-treatment care to optimise results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PRP scalp therapy painful?

Scalp therapy with PRP causes minimal discomfort. We use very fine needles and can apply a local anaesthetic to ensure comfort.

How many PRP scalp treatments will I need?

For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments may be advised every 6-12 months.

How long does a PRP scalp treatment take?

The entire process, including blood draw and treatment, usually takes 60-90 minutes.

Is PRP scalp therapy safe?

Yes, PRP therapy is considered very safe. It uses your own blood plasma, minimising the risk of allergic reactions or complications. 

When will I see the results of PRP scalp treatment?

While some patients notice improvements in hair thickness and reduced shedding within a few weeks, optimal results typically develop over 3-6 months as the hair growth cycle progresses.

Who is a good candidate for PRP scalp therapy?

PRP therapy is suitable for most adults experiencing hair thinning or loss. It’s particularly effective for those in the early stages of hair loss or with androgenetic alopecia. During your consultation, we’ll assess whether PRP is the right treatment for you.

Are there any side effects of PRP scalp treatment?

Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary scalp tenderness, redness, or swelling at the injection sites. These typically resolve within a few days.

How long do the results of PRP scalp therapy last?

The effects of PRP therapy can last for several months to a year, depending on individual factors and hair care routines. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong the results.

Is there any special preparation required before PRP scalp treatment?

We recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements for a week before treatment. You should also avoid harsh chemical treatments on your hair for at least a week before your appointment.

Can PRP scalp therapy completely reverse baldness?

While PRP can significantly improve hair thickness and reduce hair loss, it may not completely reverse advanced baldness. It’s most effective when started early in the hair loss process.
