What is PRP?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is blood plasma containing a high concentration of platelets, which act as the body’s “repairmen” for damaged tissue. These platelets contain vital growth factors and bioactive proteins that initiate connective tissue healing, promote the development of new blood vessels, and stimulate hair growth.

How the PRP Procedure Works

The entire process is designed for patient comfort and efficiency, typically taking around 30 minutes:

• Blood Collection: A sample of your blood is taken.
• Centrifugation: The blood is placed in a machine that spins at high speed to separate the different types of blood cells.
• Concentration: This 15-minute preparation increases the concentration of platelets and growth factors by up to 500% (five times the normal level).
• Injection: The Consultant disinfects the skin and injects the concentrated plasma directly into the area of hair loss to stimulate the body’s ability to grow hair.

Benefits and Safety

A major advantage of PRP therapy is that no foreign substances are used. Because we use your own growth factors from your own blood, there is no risk of disease transmission. This treatment can lead to a significant improvement in symptoms and may eliminate the need for more aggressive surgical interventions.

Risks and Complications

The risk of complications following PRP is rare, but can include:

• Infection at the site of the injection.
• Bruising, bleeding, or skin discolouration.
• Increased inflammation or pain at the site.
• Failure to achieve a successful result or no relief of symptoms.
