In a PRP for hair loss session, we begin by drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The PRP, which is rich in growth factors, is then injected into the scalp areas experiencing hair thinning or loss. These growth factors stimulate hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and strengthening existing hair. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes about an hour, with little to no downtime required.

In this combined treatment, PRP for hair loss is followed by a 60-minute Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) session and a 15-minute General Practitioner (GP) consultation. First, PRP is injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. Following this, HBOT exposes the body to high-pressure oxygen, enhancing circulation and further aiding tissue repair, including scalp health. The GP consultation ensures holistic care by addressing any concerns and providing personalized medical advice, completing a comprehensive wellness experience targeting hair loss and overall health.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a treatment that involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting it into the scalp. The growth factors in the PRP are thought to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth.
PRP contains growth factors that can stimulate hair follicles in the scalp, enhancing their activity and promoting hair growth. It’s believed to improve blood supply to the hair follicles and increase their size.
PRP is often recommended for individuals with androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) or other types of hair loss who are experiencing thinning hair but still have some active hair follicles. It may be less effective for individuals who have extensive baldness or underlying health conditions.
PRP therapy is generally considered safe because it uses your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or infections. However, as with any medical procedure, there are risks, including infection, pain at the injection site, and temporary swelling.
Typically, a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. After the initial treatments, maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months may be needed.
During the session, a small amount of your blood will be drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets. The PRP will then be injected into the scalp using a fine needle. The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
Common side effects include mild pain, swelling, or redness at the injection sites. Some people might experience temporary bruising or a headache. Serious side effects are rare.
Results can vary, but many people start to notice improvements in hair density and thickness after about 3 to 6 months of treatment. Full results may take up to a year to become apparent.
The longevity of results can vary among individuals. Many people maintain their results with ongoing maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months.
