Any Side Effects from PRP Hair Treatment?
As we use our own autologous blood, reactions to PRP are rare.
Usually, there is a risk of bruising at the injection site, so we apply a numbing agent to the area – making it a virtually painless treatment.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is part of the blood which repairs damaged cells in your body.
We focus on affected areas, such as scars or hair loss/alopecia, with the aim to repair and rejuvenate the area.
Whether you’re male or female, young or senior, fit or unfit, hair loss is a concern that creeps up on us all. From patchy hair loss, to heavy hair fall in the shower, the reality of hair loss is a worrying matter and not to be ignored.
So come and see one of our doctors or hair specialists to discuss the best PRP treatment option for you.

Whatever is your concern, our doctors will be able to assess, diagnose and manage your condition, from within and externally. Our doctors analyse the cause of your Alopecia and then treat it accordingly.
The sample obtained is injected into the area – whether the scalp for hair loss or the skin for scar repair. The platelet-rich plasma then activates the body’s repair cascade – releasing growth factors to the injected site, which increases the number of regenerative cells.
These cells are designated a job…to locally heal and repair the damaged cell – in this case the hair follicles.

During the PRP hair treatment, a blood sample is taken from you – just like a routine blood test.
This sample is then centrifuged in our clinic at extremely high speeds to separate the platelets from the remaining blood cells – leaving us with what we call ‘Liquid Gold’ – the colour of the platelet-rich plasma.

We use advanced techniques to ensure you get high quality PRP extracted from your blood, after initial screening tests. These tests ensure there is no underlying medical condition causing your hair loss.
Once we have the extracted PRP, we activate and administer it to your scalp using our state-of- the-art PRP gun: Mesogun U225. This ensures that with each injection, a perfect amount of PRP droplet is administered into the affected scalp area – and your liquid gold PRP isn’t wasted.
The advantages of using this gun include:
We advise not to shower for at least 12 hours after the procedure so that the PRP absorbs into the scalp.
Before you have PRP treatment, our team will book a consultation with you to;
You will be guided through the procedure and recommend the best course of action for you.
Just like with any injection, you’ll need to refrain from taking any drugs or blood-thinning medications a few days before – unless contraindicated.
Before receiving the treatment, you’ll have specific precautions to follow and advise you on necessary preparations.
If you have any medical conditions, please discuss them with us to ensure a safe and tailored treatment.

Like any medical procedure, PRP carries some mild temporary side effects, including pain or swelling at the injection sites, bruising, and mild headache. We prioritise the safety and effectiveness of our treatments, to minimise the risk of infections, complications and unsatisfactory results. We also always numb the area to be treated – ensuring a virtually painless experience.
