DEFINITION
Growth Factor Rich Plasma or PRP for hair is a revolutionary, completely natural treatment that has positively impacted the hair restoration industry.. Your blood is taken, spun in a centrifuge, and vital growth factor components are re-injected into your scalp. PRP therapy has become increasingly popular due to its proven effectiveness in treating damaged hair and stabilising excessive hair loss.
SCIENCE
PRP contains growth factors which can induce proliferation of dermal papilla cells, with the aim to stimulate inactive hair follicles into an active growth phase. Your hairs will bathe in growth factors that promote cell growth and regeneration, which, in turn, strengthen and nourish hair follicles. The procedure can also increase blood flow to the hair follicles, promoting cell growth and repair, and reducing inflammation.

Benefits of PRP Hair Treatment
Natural Approach: PRP therapy utilises the patient’s blood, minimising the risk of allergic reactions or complications.
Stimulates Hair Growth: The concentrated growth factors in PRP can encourage the regeneration of hair follicles, leading to increased hair density, strength, and thickness.
Minimal Downtime: This minimally invasive procedure involves little to no downtime, enabling patients to return to their daily activities shortly after treatment.
Conditions Treated with PRP Hair Therapy
Androgenic Alopecia (Male and Female Pattern Baldness): PRP therapy is an effective option for hereditary hair loss. It targets thinning areas by revitalising dormant or weakened hair follicles. This stimulation encourages the growth of thicker, healthier strands while slowing further hair loss.
Alopecia Areata: This autoimmune disorder, which causes sudden and patchy hair loss, may benefit from PRP therapy. Delivering growth factors to affected areas can support follicular health, promote regrowth, and improve the scalp’s overall appearance.
Understanding Androgenic Alopecia
Androgenic Alopecia, or pattern hair loss, is a common condition caused by genetics and hormonal influences:
- In Men: It often begins with a receding hairline or thinning at the crown and may progress to baldness.
- In Women: Typically presents as diffuse thinning along the parting, with the frontal hairline usually remaining intact.
Understanding Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles, causing sudden, patchy hair loss.
- Clinical Presentation: Often appears as small, circular patches of hair loss, which may also affect the eyebrows, eyelashes, or beard.
- Underlying Cause: While the exact cause remains unclear, it is linked to genetic predisposition, stress, and environmental factors.
- Progression: Hair loss may be temporary, with spontaneous regrowth sometimes. However, for others, the condition can persist or recur.
Contraindications for PRP Therapy
PRP therapy may not be suitable for everyone, as certain medical conditions can affect safety and effectiveness. Individuals with active scalp infections, specific blood disorders, or conditions that impair platelet function are generally not ideal candidates for this treatment. Additionally, those taking blood-thinning medications or with a history of severe allergies should consult with their practitioner to assess potential risks.
At Skin Science Clinic, a thorough consultation is conducted to evaluate your medical history and determine your eligibility, ensuring the treatment is safe and effective for your unique needs.
PROCEDURE
As an expert in the field of regenerative medicine, Dr Sarwar takes patient comfort seriously when performing PRP. The procedure involves the use of strong topical anaesthesia to ensure minimal discomfort. To further guarantee a pain-free procedure, Dr Sarwar takes the time to transfer PRP to ultra-thin Japanese needles. As a result the overall procedure may take a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes, however the careful anaesthesia process makes the procedure virtually pain free.The complexity of the treatment requires careful attention to detail with respect to the correct depth of injection within the scalp. With Dr Sarwar’s professionalism and expertise in hair transplantation, patients can trust that their hair restoration treatment is in expert hands.
- Blood is drawn from you arm, and spun in a centrifuge therby producing the PRP
- A ring block is performed on the scalp to numb the area, and injections into the scalp take no more than 30 minutes.
