What is Hair PRP Treatment?
Hair PRP involves the extraction and concentration of platelet-rich plasma from your own blood, which is then injected into the scalp to promote hair growth. Your Platelets contain growth factors that are essential for tissue regeneration and healing. When applied to areas of thinning or receding hair, PRP encourages the hair follicles to become stronger and produce thicker, healthier hair.
This treatment is ideal for both men and women experiencing early stages of hair loss, including conditions like androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), postpartum hair loss and hair thinning.
How Does Hair PRP Work?
The PRP process is simple and natural:
- Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test.
- Centrifugation: The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from the rest of the blood components, creating a concentration of platelet-rich plasma.
- Injection: The PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp where hair thinning or loss is occurring. The growth factors in the platelets help to stimulate the hair follicles, encouraging them to enter the growth phase and produce stronger, healthier hair.
How Much Does Hair PRP Treatment Cost?
The cost of Hair PRP at Faces By Bae is £200 per session, with package options available for those seeking multiple treatments. Since hair growth is a gradual process, most clients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. We’ll provide you with a customised treatment plan during your consultation, ensuring you get the best results for your investment.
How Many Sessions Are Needed for Hair PRP?
For optimal results, we typically recommend 3 to 4 PRP sessions, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments may also be needed every 3 to 6 months to sustain your results. Each person’s response to PRP can vary, but most clients start seeing noticeable improvement in hair thickness and regrowth after the first few treatments.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Hair PRP?
Hair PRP can be used to treat thinning hair and hair loss on various areas of the scalp for both men and women, including:
- Crown and top of the head (common areas for male pattern baldness)
- Receding hairline
- Thinning hair at the temples
- General hair thinning across the scalp
