PRP for Hair Loss
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a revolutionary non-surgical treatment for hair loss and hair thinning. Hair loss can be quite a distressing thing to go through and can have an impact on self-esteem.
PRP therapy can treat both male and female pattern baldness and alopecia. It works by stimulating the growth of the existing hair follicles, resulting in fuller and healthier looking hair without the need for surgery. It is one of the most natural ways to treat and encourage hair growth. Helping to restore your hair, confidence and self-esteem!

Why PRP?
Typically, hair loss is caused by a lack of cell renewal in the scalp. PRP is a highly effective treatment as it stimulates the production of new healthy cells.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a regenerative therapy, using nothing but the patient’s blood to revitalise the skin. It works on the basis of using the body’s natural healing process and targets these growth factors to treatment areas where we want the skin to heal and rejuvenate itself.
PRP is a safe and reliable treatment for hair loss with minimal downtime. So you experience minimal discomfort.
- Healthier and fuller looking hair
- Stimulate and significantly increase regrowth
- Production of new healthy cells
- Decrease burning or itching sensations on the scalp
- Decrease hair dystrophy
- Is a safe and effective treatment option for Alopecia
Hair loss can vary between individuals, as a result, everyone responds to PRP differently. There are other non-surgical treatment options available.
You will be invited for a consultation to discuss the treatment, desired results and make you fully aware of the possible risks and complications involved.
During your consultation:
- We will discuss your circumstances
- We will assess your hair and scalp health
- We will discuss your medical history to determine the cause of your hair loss and recommend the best treatment plan for you
- Cover the options available to you including timescales and costs
- Make you aware of the risks, benefits and alternatives of PRP
- Run you through how your procedure will work
The platelet-rich plasma is derived from a patient’s blood sample. These platelets contain very high levels of growth factors, when injected into the scalp they stimulate cell regeneration, healing injured or damaged tissue.
At Pearl Aesthetics, we use the Centurion Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma System. A blood sample is taken at the start of the treatment, the blood is then treated in the centrifuge to harvest the platelet-rich plasma. The plasma is then activated and injected into the treatment areas.
PRP for hair loss involves a series of targeted regeneration and remodelling processes in the body. When injected, the PRP helps to stimulate the production of new growth factors, helping to produce new healthy cells, stimulating new hair growth.
You can expect no downtime post treatment so you can immediately return to your normal routine. We recommend that you avoid strenuous activity and alcohol consumption for 24 hours post treatment.
You can typically start seeing optimal results between 2-3 months post treatment.
Treatment is not recommended if you are under 18, are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Your nurse prescriber will discuss everything in detail with you during your consultation as there are many other conditions and medications which could interact with the procedure. Please be upfront with your medical history, however, PRP is rarely contraindicated.
As the injections are viewed as a medical treatment, they should be performed by a qualified professional in a medical environment. At the clinic, our team of highly experienced and highly qualified nurse prescribers ensure that every treatment we complete is safe, and of high professional standard.

Optimal results can be seen between two to three months after treatment, where the PRP has helped to revitalise the skin. There is a possibility of localised swelling around the injection areas, this is typical and will reduce after a day or two. If any unexpected swelling continues, please get in touch.
PRP for Hair Loss is extremely safe as it recycles the body’s blood. The only potential risks are discomfort with the blood sample being taken, and small bruising from injection.
Every patient’s experience of pain is different, however, we will try our best to make the treatment as comfortable as possible for you. Bruising around the injection site is possible but only a small percentage of patients develop small bruising. If bruising occurs, it is usually apparent at day 2-3 and will typically resolve over 5-10 days.
There is minimal downtime after treatment. You may have slight redness after treatment, similar to a sunburn. We recommend the use of sun cream post treatment and discourage the use of makeup immediately after treatment.
We do not advise PRP procedures during pregnancy or breast-feeding.
The treatment is recommended for people between the ages of 18 and 60. Unfortunately, anyone under the age of 18 cannot receive this treatment.
You may experience tenderness or soreness after your treatment. Any swelling should reduce within a few days. These side effects are completely normal and do not present concern. To help the treated area heal, avoid touching the treated area, wearing makeup or partaking in physical exercise in the days following your treatment.
For a minimum of 5 hours after treatment, we ask that you do not:
Wash or expose the treated areas directly to heat or the sun
Engage in strenuous exercise that can cause sweating
Expose the treated areas to saunas, steam rooms, Jacuzzi, or hot showers
You will be given a detailed aftercare leaflet post treatment explaining everything you need to know.
