Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair

Boost Scalp Health and Hair Growth with PRP

Experiencing hair thinning, increased shedding or hair loss?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair treatment is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a concentrated sample of your own blood to support scalp health and hair growth.

Your blood is carefully processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which contains concentrated platelets and associated growth factors. The PRP is then delivered into targeted areas of the scalp to support the hair follicles and create an environment that may encourage thicker, fuller and healthier-looking hair over time.

Who Is PRP Hair Treatment Suitable For?

PRP hair treatment may be considered for people experiencing:

  • Hair thinning
  • Increased hair shedding
  • Early or progressive hair loss
  • Male or female androgenetic alopecia
  • Alopecia areata
  • Reduced hair density
  • Concerns about overall scalp health

PRP is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Hair loss can have many different causes, so a thorough consultation and scalp assessment are important before beginning treatment.

Treatment Summary

  • Treatment Duration: Depending on the treatment type, approximately 90 minutes
  • Downtime: Generally minimal, temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, pinpoint bleeding or scalp sensitivity may occur
  • Potential Risks or Side Effects: Redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness and discomfort may occur. Less common risks include infection or not achieving the desired outcome.
  • Results: Initial changes may begin to become noticeable around 3 months after the first treatment, including reduced shedding, visible regrowth or thickening of existing hair
  • Maintenance: An initial course of 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is generally recommended. Further maintenance treatments may be required depending on your hair condition and individual response

Why is PRP Used For Hair Thinning and Hair Loss?

Healthy hair growth depends on the condition and activity of the hair follicles beneath the scalp.

PRP contains concentrated platelets and associated growth factors involved in natural tissue repair and regeneration.

When PRP is delivered into areas of hair thinning or loss, treatment aims to support the environment surrounding the hair follicles and encourage follicle activity.

This may help to:

  • Reduce excessive shedding
  • Support existing hair follicles
  • Encourage regrowth in areas of thinning
  • Improve hair thickness and density
  • Support overall scalp health

Results vary depending on the individual and the underlying cause of their hair loss.

What Happens During a PRP Hair Treatment?

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment of your scalp and hair loss so we can understand your individual concerns and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

A small amount of blood is then collected from your arm, similar to a standard blood test.

The blood is carefully processed using a medical-grade centrifuge to prepare your individual PRP.

Once the scalp has been prepared, the PRP is delivered into targeted areas either by hand or using our specialised V2 medical injection device, which allows treatment to be delivered at controlled depths and dosages.

The entire procedure generally takes around 90 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

PRP hair regrowth utilises the principle of natural healing that take place in our body every day. Our blood contains platelets which have a high concentration of growth factors responsible for tissue regeneration and healing.

By using a medical-grade centrifuge, the platelets in the blood is separated from the red blood cells to form the platelet-rich plasma which contains concentrated growth factors multiple times higher than normal circulation blood.

When the PRP is injected into the scalp, it enhances hair growth by stimulating inactive dormant follicles into activity, increase blood and nutrient flow and increase the growth duration of the hair follicles. The result may be a healthier scalp as well as thicker and fuller hair.

The PRP treatment at The Lime Tree Clinic is individually tailored to your scalp with a comprehensive assessment and plan, with medical recommendations to optimise your hair regrowth from a full medical perspective.

The PRP is prepared using a proprietary method, medical graded equipment, utmost care and aseptic technique to arrive at a Platelet Rich Plasma that is not only concentrated, but also formulated specifically for your hair regrowth. We do not use standard, out of the box, one size fits all preparation methods.

Our specialised medical Injection Device is an injection system that delivers the PRP into your scalp at precise depths and dosages to give the most accurate injections and hence the absolute best results possible with the utmost comfort.

As with any cosmetic procedure, PRP hair treatments carry potential side effects and risks.

Common side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness and discomfort at the treatment site. Mild pinpoint bleeding or temporary scalp sensitivity may also occur following treatment. Less common risks can include infection or not achieving the desired aesthetic outcome. Your cosmetic doctor or nurse will discuss the potential benefits, risks and suitability of treatment during your consultation before proceeding.

Our medical grade injection devices deliver the PRP into your scalp with advantages:

  • Injections are more precise in relation to angle of administration, depth and volume. This has the benefit of consistency and assists us in individualising the treatment to factors such as skin thickness, scalp conditions and condition of hair loss. 
  • It utilises single use, sterile micro needles which are far finer than most needles on the market. This results in much gentler and more comfortable treatment.

PRP hair regrowth treatment can be used for:

  • Treating both male and female Androgenetic Alopecia
  • Treating Alopecia Areata
  • Slowing down shedding or active hair loss
  • Stimulating regrowth of thinning hair so that it becomes thicker and fuller
  • Enhancing the scalp’s health and condition

PRP hair regrowth procedure takes about 45 minutes to complete.
The procedure commences with blood collection from your arm, in the same way you would have a blood test. Then the drawn blood is placed in a medical-grade centrifuge and prepared in a very specific manner. The centrifuge spins at a controlled rate in a carefully controlled environment to separate the liquid plasma from the red and white blood cells to create the PRP. All handling of your PRP is with the utmost care to optimise the potential of your personal PRP.

Prior to injection, your scalp is prepared to provide a safe, clean, and as comfortable treatment as possible. Injections can be expertly done by hand or with our Injection Device. The Injector is a specialised injection system that can deliver the PRP into your scalp at precise depths and dosages to give the most accurate injections and hence the absolute best results possible with the utmost comfort.

The first visible results for a typical PRP hair regrowth treatment begin 3 months after the first session with reduction in shedding, appearance of re-growth and thickening of hair. Some people will notice results much earlier than this.

Initially, 3 sessions of PRP hair regrowth treatment is required, spaced 4 weeks apart, to achieve optimum results. Further maintenance treatments may be needed depending on each individual and their particular hair condition, response and desired outcomes.

Individual responses to treatment can vary. Some people may require additional sessions or more time to notice visible results, and outcomes are not guaranteed for every individual. Factors such as genetics, overall health, diet, stress levels, and tobacco use may influence your body’s response to treatment.
