How it works

The mechanism, without the marketing

Hair PRP or PRF uses a processed component of your own blood and delivers it into the scalp with the aim of supporting the environment around active hair follicles. It may be combined with LED in a structured protocol. The treatment can support suitable thinning patterns but cannot create new follicles where they are no longer viable.

What we assess

The details that change the plan

• Pattern and duration of loss, shedding and scalp symptoms

• Family history, recent illness, stress, nutrition and hormonal factors

• Blood tests or medical referral needed before treatment

• Medicines, platelet function, anaemia and bleeding risk

Before, during & after

What the appointment may involve

Before, assessment: Hair loss is approached as a diagnosis first. Baseline photographs and, where appropriate, medical investigations are arranged before committing to a course.

During, treatment: Blood is taken and processed, then the prepared component is injected across selected scalp areas. Comfort measures and optional LED are tailored to the plan.

After, recovery: Scalp tenderness, pinpoint bleeding, swelling, headache and bruising can occur. Hair washing and exercise advice is individualised.

Results, course & recovery

What changes, and when

Hair outcomes are slow. Reduced shedding may precede visible density change, and assessment usually takes months with standardised photographs. Maintenance is only considered if there is evidence of worthwhile response.

Limits, risks & alternatives

The part that should never be hidden

PRP and PRF cannot reverse scarring alopecia, advanced follicle loss or untreated medical causes of shedding. Evidence and preparation methods vary. Infection, inflammation, bleeding and poor response are possible. Dermatology, GP investigation, medication, transplant assessment or no procedure may be more appropriate.
