About Scalp PRP Therapy
Treated areas:Scalp
Scalp PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a scientifically-supported, non-surgical treatment that uses your own blood to grow thicker, healthier hair. It is a natural way to wake up “dormant” hair follicles, stop hair shedding, and improve hair density without pharmaceutical side effects.
This autologous (self-derived) treatment has an exceptionally low risk profile, making it a safe and effective “follicle rescue” for those not yet ready for surgery.
Why It Works:
- Activates Dormant Follicles: Wakes up hair that has stopped growing.
- Prolongs the Growth Phase: Keeps hair in the “active growth” (anagen) phase longer.
- Boosts Blood Flow: Promotes new blood vessel growth (neovascularisation) to feed hair roots.
Ideal Candidate
Individuals aged 20–60 with early-stage thinning where “follicle rescue” is the goal.
- Clients experiencing male or female pattern hair loss.
- Those looking for a non-surgical alternative to medication.
- Clients between hair transplant sessions to maintain non-transplanted hair.
Proven Results
- Increased Density: Measurable improvement in how much hair you have.
- Improved Hair Calibre: Individual hair strands grow back thicker and stronger.
- Reduced Shedding: Stops excessive hair fall quickly.
- Safe & Natural: No chemicals, drugs, or risk of allergic rejection.
How It Is Performed
- Blood Draw — 15–60 mL venous blood drawn from the patient’s arm.
- Centrifugation — Blood processed in a dual-spin centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelet layer; typically achieves 5–8× baseline platelet concentration.
- Activation — PRP activated with calcium chloride or thrombin prior to injection.
- Scalp Injection — Multiple micro-injections delivered across thinning zones at 1–2 cm intervals using a 30-gauge needle; topical anaesthetic or scalp nerve block applied first.
- Post-Treatment — Scalp massaged gently; written aftercare instructions provided.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP safe?
Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is virtually zero. Temporary redness and mild scalp tenderness are the most common side effects.
How many sessions are needed?
The standard protocol is 3 monthly sessions for an initial course, followed by quarterly maintenance. Most patients notice improvement after the second session.
Can PRP replace a hair transplant?
PRP stimulates existing dormant follicles but cannot restore follicles that have permanently miniaturised. For advanced hair loss, PRP is best used to complement rather than replace surgical transplantation.
