The blood is drawn from a vein in the arm and put into a centrifuge. Centrifuge is a machine that spins the blood rapidly separating its components. The platelet is then extracted using a syringe and injected into areas of the scalp that need increased hair growth. Platelet rich plasma can grow baby hairs, strengthen the existing hairs and thicken them.

Essentially, anyone suffering from hair loss.

• If you are suffering from androgenetic alopecia or alopecia areata

• If you lost hair post treatment or as a result of thyroid disease

• If you want to encourage hair growth and thickness

A study to compare the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma and minoxidil therapy for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia shows amazing results to participating patients (see here). We have also seen incredible results on our clients.

The entire process may take around 1 hour and several sessions may be necessary.

We recommend one treatment per month for the first three to four months, and then every three to six months thereafter, depending on the individual patient’s response and results.

As long as this treatment is administered by a qualified practitioner, it’s completely safe.

The side effects include a mild pain at the injection site, scalp tenderness, swelling, headache or itching. They are temporary and should settle within couple of days.

Prices start from £350.
