PRP for hair restoration

How PRP works for hair restoration

We use innovative new PRP treatments to accelerate and restore hair growth for men and women. This is effective to combat the early signs of balding, or to thicken the hair by adding lost volume and strength.

For many people loss of hair is one of the most distressing signs of aging and this is a pioneering treatment that naturally stimulates follicles to activate creating thicker hair.

PRP is used to accelerate healing and can be used to help tissues to regrow, it releases concentrated growth factors, these stimulate the natural healing process.

The science

Every platelet is a biochemical powerhouse of regulatory, signalling and growth-factor molecules that participate in the regeneration and healing of new hair follicles. When delivered at the right depth into tissue the cells begin to reform. The result is new strong healthy hair.

A sample of blood is taken and placed into a system called a centrifuge to spin and separate the blood. This allows us to select the right elements to inject back into the area of concern.

A consultation is required prior to treatment.

How many treatments are needed?

For optimum results 3 treatments of PRP are recommended each one month apart, some clients have benefited and are happy with results after just one treatment so this will need to be assessed on an individual basis during consultation.

Is it safe?

This treatment is an autologous treatment which means the chances of any side effects is significantly low, if not non-existent.

How long does it last?

Results from this treatment have been shown to last between 1-2 years.

Does it hurt ?

Numbing cream is applied to the area being treated, also advise taking some pain relief before treatment, please avoid Ibuprofen, paracetamol or co-codamol is recommended. Treatment is administered using a very fine needle discomfort is minimized as much as possible on average pain scoring is given 4/5 out of 10.

Where do I go?

This can be decided at consultation, as there are a number of clinics that you can select to have your treatment from.

What is the cost?

The cost can vary, we use two PRP machines, one offers a more concentrated end product and naturally requires more blood from the client, this is a more sophisticated machine and is very popular in some of the Italian hair clinics. The cost of this this treatment starts at £1250 per treatment.

The other machine used is priced at £600 per treatment, here a smaller sample of blood is taken, treatment is still effective and is widely used in America. This was an added option so that the treatment is more user friendly at a more client friendly price.

What results should I expect?

Hair is more nourished, thicker and healthier, and skin is brighter, plumper and smoother. Individual results can vary dependent on factors such as genetics, age and lifestyle choices.

When should I consider treatment?

Treatment works best if started early on when signs are becoming apparent. Deeper lines/folds will required more treatment sessions in comparison to less creppy skin etc. This is the same for Hair and Skin regeneration, the sooner treatment is started the better the outcomes, “prevention is better than cure”.
