What is PRP Hair Loss Treatment?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Treatment is a scientifically proven natural way to boost hair transplant growth to the absolute max. Using natural Growth Factors in PRP from your blood can help you have:

Better healing
Less of the dreaded itching
Less shock loss
Faster hair growth
Thicker hair growth

It's a bit like feeding newly planted plants, your surgeon has planted your grafts, next they need the best environment to grow to their full potential. That's where PRP comes in and at Growth Factor Hair Clinic, this is our specialty.

We have been treating patients like you who have had hair transplants in Turkey or UK or India for many years. Wherever you had your hair transplant, you are very welcome at Growth Factor Hair Clinic in Wales, UK.

How does PRP after hair transplant work?

PRP therapy uses the power of your own blood, tapping in to the amazing repair and regeneration abilities of your body. Platelets release natural chemicals called Growth Factors. When PRP is delivered into the scalp near to hair follicles, it stimulates the hair follicles to perform better.

Benefits of PRP after Hair Transplant

1. Effective

Scientific studies show that PRP therapy significantly improves hair density and thickness. Patients report high satisfaction levels following treatment. The most effective protocols typically involve multiple sessions, usually monthly for three to four months, followed by maintenance treatments.

2. Safe

PRP therapy is autologous, meaning it uses your own blood. The treatment involves injection of your own platelet rich plasma, made from your own blood. This means to risk of allergic reaction is extremely low. It is of utmost importance for your safety that PRP is prepared using:

Aseptic technique

This is where Dr Gwen Adey's 19 years of clinical experience matters.

3. Non-Surgical

PRP therapy offers a non-invasive alternative to hair restoration, making it an extremely appealing choice for those at an early stage of hair loss or those who prefer to avoid or postpone surgical procedures.

4. Post-Hair Transplant

PRP is often given along with hair transplant and many transplant surgeons will recommend a course of 3 or 4 PRP treatments following transplant. At Growth Factor Hair Clinic, many of our patients first come to us soon after a transplant. Transplant can be seen as planting the seeds and PRP like plant food, to help the transplant fulfill it's full potential.

The PRP Hair Treatment Procedure

Step 1: Consultation

Your treatment journey begins with a consultation to determine if PRP therapy is suitable for you.

Step 2: Blood Draw

A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, just like a routine blood test. The blood goes directly into your RegenLab BCT tube, which is a designated medical device for processing blood to PRP.

Step 3: PRP Preparation

The tube containing the blood is placed in the RegenLab centrifuge, which spins at high speeds to separate the platelets and plasma from other components. This process concentrates the platelets, creating your PRP.

Step 4: Injection

The PRP is then injected into the scalp in tiny droplet injections, using the air-driven U225. Treatment area is tailored to what you need. After droplet injection of the majority of PRP, you will be offered PRP microneedling using the U225, to further boost the PRP benefits

Step 5: Course of Treatment

For optimal results, patients usually undergo a series of treatments. Evidence supports 3-4 treatments, spaced approximately a month apart.

Step 6: Maintenance

Maintenance treatments are recommended twice per year to prolong and maintain your results.

Can PRP help my transplanted hair and the rest of my hair?

Yes, both transplanted hair grafts and your native hair that was not transplanted benefit from PRP. Your surgeon will be limited as to how many hairs they can transplant by the quantity and quality of your donor hair as well as how many grafts are feasible in one surgery. In UK, usually the maximum number of grafts is around 2000, while in countries like Turkey surgeons regularly go up to 3500 grafts. This means you may have areas of scalp that would benefit from treatment but there weren't enough grafts. This is where PRP comes in. PRP often in combination with DHT blockers can improve and maintain your native non-transplanted hair, giving you the best and most natural result. People always hate it when their hairline looks great after their transplant but they soon thin behind the new hairline.

What are Platelets in PRP?

Platelets are very small cells found on your blood that play a large role in stopping you from bleeding out when you get a cut. They clump together to form a clot, which ultimately saves your life every time you get a cut. But they don't stop there - they also play a huge role in the healing cascade, releasing chemical messengers called Growth Factors and recruiting other cell types to the site of injury to begin the process of healing a repair. This is where the magic happens.

What is Plasma in PRP?

Plasma is the yellow coloured fluid the blood cells are suspended in. It also has healing properties.

Who would not benefit from PRP?

Conditions in which hair follicles are completely lost (not just dormant) are unsuitable for treatment with PRP. This is because PRP can only improve the function of hair follicles but where hair follicles have been lost, there is nothing for the PRP to act on and no result would be expected.
