What is
PRP Hair Treatment?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair treatment is an advanced, non-invasive therapy designed to tackle hair thinning and early-stage hair loss using something remarkable: your own body.
Sometimes referred to as a "vampire treatment for the scalp," PRP works by harnessing the natural growth factors found in your own blood and channelling them directly into the areas where your hair needs them most. It's a 100% natural approach with no synthetic chemicals, no foreign substances, and no risk of allergic reaction.
A small sample of blood is taken from your arm and gently spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, the fraction of your blood packed with growth factors, proteins, and nutrients essential to healing and renewal. This plasma is then carefully injected into the scalp, where it gets to work stimulating local blood flow, repairing weakened hair follicles, and encouraging the growth of thicker, healthier hair.
It's a powerful option for both men and women experiencing thinning hair, early pattern hair loss, or simply wanting to keep their hair looking its strongest as the years go on

How Your PRP Hair Treatment Works
Consultation
A relaxed, in-depth conversation about your hair, your medical history and the results you'd like to achieve. We'll assess your scalp and confirm that PRP is the right treatment for you.
Blood Draw
A small sample of blood is taken from your arm, much like a routine blood test. Quick, simple, and carried out by an experienced medical professional.
Plasma Preparation
Your blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, your body's natural healing concentrate.
Scalp Treatment
The PRP is then carefully injected into the areas of thinning or hair loss, targeting the hair follicles where it's needed most. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to keep you comfortable throughout.
Aftercare & Results
You can return to your normal routine straight after treatment. Some mild redness or tenderness for 24 to 48 hours is normal. Visible improvements typically begin showing from around 3 weeks, with full results developing over the course of treatments.
What to Expect From Your Treatment Plan
For the best results, a course of PRP hair treatments is recommended rather than a single session. Most patients see optimal results from a starting course of 3 to 4 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months to keep results looking their best.

Maximise Your Results
PRP hair treatment can be used on its own as a stand-alone solution for thinning hair, or it can be combined with other treatments and lifestyle changes to maximise your results.
Many patients benefit from pairing PRP with personalised advice on scalp health, nutrition, and supplement support, all delivered with Joe's medical and pharmacy background. PRP can also complement other clinically supported hair loss treatments where appropriate.
We'll talk you through every option during your consultation, with no pressure and no upselling — just honest, expert advice on what we genuinely believe will give you the best result.
