the treatment
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair loss treatment offers a non-surgical solution for both men and women experiencing hair loss and thinning. This highly safe procedure utilizes your own blood platelets to promote hair regrowth. PRP therapy leverages your body’s natural healing abilities to stimulate hair growth and rejuvenate the scalp effectively.

Your nurse will collect a small sample of blood (approximately 10-20ml).
This sample is then spun in a centrifuge, separating the platelets from the red blood cells.
Your own platelets that are rich in growth factors are then reintroduced into areas of the scalp where there is hair loss or thinning with small injections.
