PRP Hair Treatment

Platelet-rich plasma injected into the scalp to support hair follicles and reduce shedding in early-stage thinning. Using growth factors concentrated from your own blood, it aims to strengthen existing hair and prolong the growth phase. At Medeste Clinic it is best suited to patients with early or moderate thinning rather than long-established baldness, and works best as a course with ongoing maintenance.

PRP for hair applies the same regenerative principle as PRP for skin, focused on the scalp. A small blood sample is spun to concentrate its platelets and growth factors, which are then injected across the thinning areas of the scalp. The growth factors are thought to improve the local blood supply to hair follicles, prolong the active growth phase and reduce excessive shedding, which is associated with thicker, healthier-looking hair over a course of treatment. At Medeste Clinic the session takes around thirty to forty-five minutes, with the scalp numbed for comfort, and there is essentially no downtime beyond possible mild tenderness. PRP works best for early-to-moderate, non-scarring hair thinning — including age- and hormone-related thinning — rather than areas where follicles are already lost, so realistic expectations are set at consultation. A typical plan is an initial course of around three to four monthly sessions followed by maintenance every few months; results are gradual and depend on continuing treatment. Because the material is your own, tolerability is excellent. The clinic also offers dedicated hair-revitalising mesotherapy protocols that can be used alongside it. Suitability, the likely number of sessions and any contraindications are reviewed with the physician before starting.
