How Does PRP Work for Hair Loss?

1. Blood Draw

Blood is taken from your arm (similar to a routine blood test).

2. Centrifugation

The blood is placed in a centrifuge which spins and separates the platelet-rich plasma from other components.

3. Injection

The concentrated PRP is carefully injected into the scalp in areas affected by hair loss.

Who is PRP Suitable For?

PRP therapy can be an effective option for:

o Men and women experiencing early-stage hair loss.

o Patients with thinning hair who want to avoid surgery.

o Those looking to enhance results of a hair transplant.

However, PRP may not be suitable for everyone. During your consultation, our doctors will assess your hair loss pattern and medical history to determine if PRP is right for you.

What to Expect During Treatment?

Consultation

Prior to any treatment, patients have a detailed consultation with one of our doctors. We’ll review your medical history and discuss your hair loss concerns to ensure the treatment is the right fit for you.

Procedure Time

A single session typically takes 45–60 minutes.

Number of Sessions

Typically, patients require a minimum of 3 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, for optimal results.

Maintenance

To maintain the benefits of PRP, patients will typically require 2-4 treatments per year.

Benefits of PRP for Hair Loss

Non-Surgical

No surgery involved, and minimal downtime required.

Natural

Uses your body’s own healing mechanisms.

Low risk of adverse reactions

PRP is derived from your own blood and so there is a low risk of adverse reactions.

Versatile

Can be combined with other treatments, such as medications or hair transplants, for enhanced results.

Minimal Downtime

Patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.

Considerations

Results Vary

While many patients see improvements in hair loss, individual results can vary.

Commitment Required

Multiple sessions are needed for the best outcomes.

Not a Cure

PRP can help manage hair loss, but it is not a permanent cure for hair loss.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

At Zentrix Hair Clinic we use local anaesthetic (numbing) injections before the PRP treatment. This means that although the initial numbing injections may cause discomfort, once the scalp is numb, the PRP injections are usually very well tolerated.

Yes, PRP is often used alongside medications like Minoxidil or Finasteride, or after a hair transplant, to enhance results.

Results can last several months, but maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain the benefits of PRP.

PRP is most effective in the earlier stages of hair loss. If there is an area of the scalp that is completely bald then PRP treatment is unlikely to produce any significant results. At this stage other treatments would be considered.

During your consultation, our doctors will evaluate your hair loss and discuss whether PRP is a suitable option for you.
