Minimally Invasive PRP Treatment for Hair Loss and Regrowth
Hair loss can result from various factors, including genetics, hormonal imbalances, stress, nutritional deficiencies or medical conditions such as alopecia or thyroid issues. Hair loss may present as thinning hair, receding hairlines or bald patches.
Addressing hair loss requires understanding its underlying causes through consultation and assessment. Advanced treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy may be used to promote growth and strengthen hair density. This treatment involves using your own plasma, prepared by clinicians, to support scalp care.
Our practitioners will also provide proper aftercare and follow-up support to help you get the most from your treatment plan.
How we can help
Cosmetic Medical Treatments
PRP Treatments: Use your platelet-rich plasma to stimulate hair growth and strengthen follicles.
PRP Hair Treatment: Personalised Solutions for Improving Hair Appearance
Our approach to PRP treatment for hair begins with comprehensive testing to uncover underlying causes of hair loss, such as nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances or gut health issues.
These insights guide tailored wellness plans, which may include iron infusions for low iron levels, nutritional support through diet or supplements and strategies to manage stress and improve gut health.
This approach focuses on factors that may influence how your hair and scalp look and feel.
Connecting Wellness to Hair Health
Nutritional Deficiencies
Healthy hair requires a range of nutrients to grow and thrive:
Iron Deficiency: Low iron levels reduce oxygenation of hair follicles, leading to thinning and hair loss.
Protein Deficiency: As hair is made primarily of keratin, inadequate protein intake weakens hair strands.
Vitamin Deficiencies:
Vitamin D: Essential for hair follicle cycling; deficiency can stunt growth.
B Vitamins (e.g., Biotin, B12): Support collagen production and hair structure.
Vitamin A: Regulates scalp sebum production (though excess can lead to hair loss).
Zinc: Critical for tissue repair, including hair follicles, with deficiency leading to shedding.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Nourish hair and support a healthy scalp environment.
Hormonal Imbalances
Hormones play a significant role in hair health:
Androgens and DHT: Excess DHT, a byproduct of testosterone, can shrink follicles, causing androgenic alopecia.
Thyroid Issues: Both hypo- and hyperthyroidism disrupt hair growth cycles.
PCOS: Elevated androgens linked to this condition can lead to thinning hair.
Pregnancy and Postpartum Hormones: Hormonal fluctuations often trigger temporary hair loss (telogen effluvium).
Stress and Mental Health
Chronic stress elevates cortisol levels, pushing follicles into a resting phase and causing hair shedding. Stress can also exacerbate autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata, where the immune system attacks hair follicles.
Gut Health
The gut plays a crucial role in nutrient absorption:
Imbalanced gut microbiomes, such as in dysbiosis or leaky gut syndrome, impair the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals needed for hair growth.
Increased inflammation from poor gut health can contribute to hair thinning.
Medical Conditions
Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like alopecia areata or lupus directly target hair follicles.
Scalp Conditions: Fungal infections, dandruff or psoriasis weaken hair roots and disrupt growth.
Chronic Illnesses: Diseases such as diabetes or liver and kidney disorders interfere with hair follicle function.
Medications: Drugs such as chemotherapy agents, antidepressants and blood thinners can cause temporary or permanent hair loss as a side effect.
Ideal Candidates for PRP Hair Loss Treatment
This cosmetic treatment is often selected by clients in the early stages of seeing reduced fullness or changes in density, particularly when some hair remains present in the area of concern.
PRP may not suit everyone. People with significant areas of complete hair loss or those with health concerns that affect the scalp may require alternative approaches. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases or those who are pregnant, may not be ideal candidates for PRP hair treatment.
A thorough medical evaluation is necessary to determine each patient's eligibility, considering their medical history, current health status and potential contraindications.
Process:
Consultation: Discuss hair loss history and assess scalp condition.
Treatment Plan: Design a schedule for PRP sessions.
Procedure: Draw blood, process PRP, and inject it into the scalp.
Aftercare: Provide care instructions to optimise results.
Expected Results:
Natural-looking strands
Enhanced visual coverage
Refreshed appearance in thinning areas
