Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)

What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy?

A Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) face treatment, also known as a Vampire facial, is an advanced skin treatment which is great for skin rejuvenation. It’s a treatment which uses your own blood platelets to stimulate new cell growth, helping to improve your complexion and skin texture. PRP contains special cells called Platelets and plasma, that can promote growth of the hair follicles by stimulating the cells in the micro-environment of the hair follicle and increase vascularity to hair root. The PRP stimulates inactive or newly implanted hair follicles into an active growth phase.

The science behind PRP therapy for hair loss

Platelet-rich plasma therapy harnesses the power of your body’s own growth factors to regenerate hair follicles and stimulate new hair growth.

Are there any risks to PRP?

Because PRP is derived from your own blood (“autologous” transplantation), there is NO chance of having an allergy or immune reaction. Indeed in the literature, side effects or complications of PRP injection are extremely rare. The main risks include local infection (< 1% chance) and pain at the site of injection.

How many PRP treatments are needed?

Most PRP therapy requires three treatments 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are required every 4–6 months.
