PRP Hair Loss 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. It is best suited to early or moderate thinning rather than long-established baldness, and works best as a course with ongoing maintenance. The clinic also offers peptide and fibrin scalp protocols.

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 associated with improved blood supply to hair follicles, a prolonged active growth phase and reduced excessive shedding, which can help existing hair look thicker and healthier. At Vital Skin 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 is generally associated with better outcomes in 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 scalp peptide therapy and fibrin protocols, which can be combined as part of a hair-quality plan. Suitability, the likely number of sessions and any contraindications are reviewed with the physician before starting.
