Thicker. Stronger. Yours.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy for thinning hair and hair loss. Your body's own concentrated growth factors injected directly into the scalp to stimulate follicles and promote natural regrowth.
Hair loss and thinning are often caused by follicles that have become dormant or weakened — not follicles that have died. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy works by delivering a concentrated dose of your body's own growth factors directly to those struggling follicles, waking them up and strengthening them from within.
A small sample of your blood is drawn and placed in a medical-grade centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the platelets to levels 3–5 times higher than normal. This platelet-rich solution is then injected into the scalp across the areas of thinning using a series of precise micro-injections.
The concentrated growth factors stimulate blood supply to the follicles, extend the active growth phase of the hair cycle, and promote the production of thicker, stronger hair over time. It's not an overnight fix — it's a gradual, natural improvement that builds with each session.
As a pharmacist prescriber, James understands the biological mechanisms of hair loss at a molecular level, including hormonal factors, medication interactions, and nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing. This means your treatment plan addresses the full picture, not just the symptom.
Important: PRP works best where follicles are still active but weakened. In areas of complete, long-standing baldness where follicles have fully miniaturised, results may be limited. An honest assessment during your consultation will set realistic expectations.
A thorough assessment of your hair loss pattern, medical history, medications, and any underlying factors. We'll discuss whether PRP is right for your specific type of hair loss and set honest expectations about what results to anticipate.
A small sample of blood is taken from your arm — the same as a routine blood test. Quick and straightforward.
Your blood is processed in a medical-grade centrifuge for 10–15 minutes to separate and concentrate the platelets and growth factors.
The concentrated PRP is injected across the treatment area using a series of micro-injections. A topical anaesthetic or nerve block can be used to ensure comfort throughout.
You can return to normal activities the same day. Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours and skip heavy exercise for 48 hours. Progress is reviewed at your next session, typically 4 weeks later.
A typical course is 3–4 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 4–6 months. Some clients notice reduced shedding after the first session, with visible thickening developing over the full course.
Hair growth is a slow process. Most clients notice reduced shedding within 4–6 weeks and visible improvements in thickness and coverage from around 3 months. Full results typically develop over 6–12 months with ongoing treatment.
The scalp can be more sensitive than other areas, so topical anaesthetic is applied beforehand. Most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. A nerve block can also be used for those who are particularly sensitive.
PRP works best for early to moderate thinning where follicles are still active. It's less effective for long-standing complete baldness. During your consultation, James will assess your hair loss honestly and let you know whether PRP is a realistic option for you.
Yes. PRP can be used alongside minoxidil, finasteride, and other hair loss treatments. As a pharmacist prescriber, James can review your current regimen and advise on the best combination approach for your situation.
Minimal. You may have some tenderness or mild redness on the scalp for a day or two. Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours and skip the gym for 48 hours. Most people return to work the same day.
