Is it really my own blood?

Yes. A standard sample is taken at the start of the appointment, spun in a centrifuge in the room, and the plasma layer is injected back. Nothing is added and nothing synthetic is introduced.

Will it regrow hair I have already lost?

Only where the follicle is still alive. PRP supports follicles that are miniaturising; it cannot restart one that has gone. Establishing which you have is what the evaluation is for, and if the answer is that this will not help, we will say so.

Three to begin with, four to six weeks apart, then a maintenance session every six to twelve months. One session is not a fair trial of the treatment.

The scalp is more sensitive than the face. Numbing is used and the injections are quick, but most people describe it as uncomfortable rather than painless. Tenderness afterwards lasts about a day.

Who should not have it?

Anyone with a platelet or clotting disorder, an active infection, or a blood cancer. Anyone on blood thinners needs discussing first. Because it starts with a blood draw, a medical history is taken as it would be for any blood test.

Injectables · Overseen by our medical director

PRP — scalp or face

For thinning hair and dull, tired-looking skin, using platelets from a small sample of your own blood. The platelets are concentrated and placed back into the scalp or the face. Three sessions to start, with first effects usually seen at two to three months.

What changes

Slower than you want. Real if you wait.

Hair grows about a centimetre a month, so a scalp treatment cannot show results faster than hair grows.

Around month three, new growth shows.

On skin, the texture changes first.

Holding it means coming back.

How it works

Your own platelets, concentrated.

Platelets do more than clot. They carry growth factors — the signals tissue uses to repair itself. A tube of your blood spun in a centrifuge separates into layers, and the plasma layer holding the concentrated platelets is drawn off and injected where the repair is wanted.

Because it is made from you, there is nothing to react against and nothing foreign left behind. The trade is speed: you are asking tissue to do its own work, on its own schedule, which for hair means months rather than weeks.

The draw
A standard blood sample, the same as any other, taken at the start of the appointment.
02
The spin
Ten minutes in a centrifuge separates the plasma and its platelets from the rest.
03
The injection
The concentrate goes back into the scalp or skin in a grid of small injections.

What to expect

Three sessions, then judge it.

A single session is not a trial of this treatment. The series is the treatment.

Session 1
The first
Tender for a day, occasionally a headache after a scalp treatment. Nothing visible.
Month 1 to 2
Shedding slows
The first sign on a scalp is usually less hair in the drain, not more on the head.
Month 3
New growth
After the third session, fine new hairs become visible along the parting or hairline.
Month 6 to 12
Maintenance
A single session holds what the series built. Without it, the gain is gradually lost.
