What Is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair restoration is a regenerative treatment that uses your body's own growth factors to help stimulate the hair follicles and support natural hair growth. A small sample of blood is drawn, placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma, and then carefully micro-injected into areas of the scalp where thinning has occurred.
At Regener8 Aesthetics in Selly Oak, Birmingham, we offer PRP hair restoration as part of our regenerative approach to aesthetic treatments. The procedure is suitable for both men and women experiencing early to moderate hair thinning and may be recommended as a standalone treatment or alongside other hair-health strategies. All treatments are subject to a consultation and individual suitability assessment.
How PRP May Help With Hair Thinning
The concentrated platelets in PRP contain growth factors that, when introduced to the scalp, may help to:
- Stimulate dormant or weakened hair follicles
- Increase blood supply to the follicular unit
- Support the hair growth cycle and encourage thicker, stronger growth
- Improve the overall condition and density of the hair
- Complement other hair restoration approaches
Results vary between individuals and depend on factors such as the extent of thinning, overall health and adherence to the recommended treatment plan. Your practitioner will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation at our Birmingham clinic.
The PRP Hair Restoration Process
Your journey at Regener8 Aesthetics begins with a thorough consultation and scalp assessment. During this appointment, we evaluate the pattern and extent of hair thinning, review your medical history and discuss whether PRP is a suitable option for you.
If PRP hair restoration is recommended, the treatment itself typically follows these steps:
- Blood draw -- a small sample of blood is taken, similar to a routine blood test
- Centrifuge processing -- the sample is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma
- Scalp preparation -- a topical anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort
- Micro-injection -- the concentrated PRP is carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp
- What to expect after treatment -- temporary redness, mild swelling and temporary sensitivity may occur. Recovery experiences vary between individuals, though most people return to normal activities quickly. Personalised aftercare guidance will be provided during your appointment and through our consent and aftercare system.
The procedure typically takes around 45 to 60 minutes. Most clients are able to return to their normal daily activities immediately. Downtime varies depending on treatment type.
Who May Benefit From PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP hair restoration may be suitable for individuals experiencing:
- Early to moderate hair thinning or reduced hair density
- Androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) in its earlier stages
- General thinning across the crown or hairline
- Hair weakening due to lifestyle or environmental factors
PRP may not be appropriate for everyone. A consultation is required to assess your suitability. Your practitioner will advise you on the most appropriate treatment plan based on your individual circumstances.
