Who it is for
- Adults with hair fall or thinning who would like to discuss an in-clinic scalp treatment.
- People who would like PRP considered as part of one care plan, alongside homeopathy or nutrition advice where suitable.
Who should not have it, or should check first
PRP is not suitable for everyone. Tell the doctor before treatment if any of these apply to you:
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have a bleeding or blood-clotting disorder, or take blood-thinning medicines.
- You have an infection, open wound or active skin condition on the scalp.
- You have a long-term illness or take regular medicines.
Before any procedure, we check your medical history, previous illnesses and any reports, to make sure the treatment is suitable for you.
How it works
A small sample of blood is taken from your arm, as for a routine blood test.
The sample is spun in a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood.
The plasma is then applied to the areas of the scalp with thinning. The doctor explains the method before your session.
What a session involves
Your first visit starts with a scalp assessment and a review of your medical history, previous illnesses and any reports.
On the day of treatment, blood is drawn and prepared, and then applied to the scalp.
How many sessions
The doctor suggests the number of sessions after examining your scalp.
Aftercare
- The doctor explains how to care for your scalp after the session, including washing, products and sun exposure.
- Follow those instructions for as long as the doctor advises.
- Contact the clinic if you notice anything after treatment that worries you.
Risks and side effects
- Temporary redness, mild swelling or tenderness of the scalp, which usually settles within a few days.
- Bruising or soreness where the blood sample was taken.
- As with any procedure that breaks the skin, a small risk of infection.
- Results vary from person to person, and PRP does not help everyone.
Frequently asked questions
Is PRP made from my own blood?
Yes. PRP is prepared from a small sample of your own blood, taken at the clinic on the day of treatment.
How many PRP sessions will I need?
PRP is usually given as a course of sessions. The doctor suggests the number of sessions after examining your scalp.
What is the difference between PRP and GFC hair treatment?
Both are prepared from a small sample of your own blood and applied to the scalp for hair fall and thinning. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) uses plasma that is rich in platelets. GFC (growth factor concentrate) is prepared differently: it concentrates the growth factors released from those platelets. Both are usually given as a course of sessions. The doctor suggests the type and number of sessions after examining your scalp.
Can homeopathy help with hair fall?
Hair fall has many possible causes, such as stress, diet, recent illness and scalp conditions. That is why many people consult us about it. Homeopathy looks for the pattern behind your hair fall, and our doctor also brings nutrition training to the plan. Where suitable, homeopathy is combined with in-clinic hair treatments such as PRP or GFC.
Are the skin and hair treatments safe? Are there side effects?
Before any procedure, we check your medical history, previous illnesses and any reports, to make sure the treatment is suitable for you. Procedures such as PRP, microneedling and chemical peels can cause temporary redness, mild swelling or tenderness, which usually settles within a few days. The doctor explains what to expect and how to care for your skin or scalp afterwards. Where it helps, these treatments are combined with homeopathy as part of one care plan.
