Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated form of your own blood that contains powerful growth factors responsible for healing, regeneration and stimulation of hair follicles. The process begins with a simple blood draw, similar to a routine blood test. The collected blood is then placed into a specialised centrifuge, which spins at high speed to separate the plasma and platelets from red and white blood cells. This creates the “platelet-rich” portion that contains the highest concentration of growth factors.
Once prepared, the PRP is injected into targeted regions of your scalp where thinning or weakened follicles are present. A local anaesthetic is usually applied to maximise comfort and injections are done in a grid-like pattern to ensure even distribution. The growth factors work over time to improve follicle strength, increase blood supply and support healthier hair growth. Because PRP uses your own biological material, the treatment is considered extremely safe, natural and minimally invasive.
