About the treatment
What Is PRP Hair Therapy?
PRP Hair Therapy uses a concentrated portion of platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood. Platelets contain growth-factor signalling proteins involved in tissue repair, healing, and cellular communication.
When placed into targeted scalp areas, PRP may help support the scalp environment and follicle activity in suitable clients. It is not a medical treatment for diagnosed hair loss conditions and does not guarantee hair growth.
The science
Growth Factors and the Scalp Environment
PRP contains naturally occurring growth-factor signals from your own platelets. These signals are part of the body's normal repair processes and may support a healthier scalp environment in suitable clients.
Vascular endothelial growth factor
VEGF
May support microcirculation signalling involved in tissue oxygenation and nutrient delivery.
Transforming growth factor beta
TGF-B
Supports collagen and extracellular-matrix signalling within the scalp environment.
Epidermal growth factor
EGF
Supports epithelial repair pathways and general tissue-renewal signalling.

How it works
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Every appointment begins with suitability screening and scalp assessment. A blood draw is required each time PRP is prepared.
Step 01
Consultation
Your practitioner reviews your hair and scalp concerns, medical history, goals, and suitability. Significant, sudden, or rapidly progressing hair loss should be assessed by a GP, dermatologist, or specialist before booking.
Step 02
Blood Collection
A small blood sample is collected at each appointment and processed in clinic to separate platelet-rich plasma.
Step 03
Processing & Treatment
The concentrated PRP is placed into targeted scalp areas according to your treatment plan. Comfort, skin response, and treatment zones are monitored throughout.
Step 04
Recovery & Plan
Most clients return to normal activities quickly. A course of sessions may be recommended, with progress reviewed over time. Results vary between individuals.
