PRP Hair Loss Treatment (Scalp)

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 extend its growth phase. It is best suited to patients with early or moderate thinning rather than long-established hair loss, and works best as a course with ongoing maintenance. A fibrin (PRF) version is also available.

PRP for hair loss 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 be associated with improved blood supply to the follicles, a longer active growth phase and reduced excessive shedding, helping existing hair look thicker and healthier. At Skin-Medic 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 is most appropriate for early-to-moderate, non-scarring 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 a platelet-rich fibrin variant and a range of scalp mesotherapy and exosome protocols that can complement PRP. Suitability, the likely number of sessions and any contraindications are reviewed with the physician before starting.
