LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN TREATMENT
The use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is not new; it has long been recognized for it’s accelerated wound healing properties in such applications as surgery and sports injuries. This technology is now being used for cosmetic enhancement with outstanding results.
PRP is a bio active stimulator using cells derived from your own blood, these are then re-injected into the scalp to stimulate new cells.
WHERE DOES PRP COME FROM?
Your blood is rich in red blood cells, white blood cells and plasma. We use only the plasma portion of your blood.
A special process is used to obtain the PRP.

WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE
ls taken and processed to give us the PRP required for your treatment. This is done by placing your blood in a centrifuge for 8 minutes separating the plasma and platelets from your red blood cells. The concentrated source of autologous platelets within the plasma contain numerous growth factors that stimulate tissue regeneration and remodeling. After application of a topical anaesthetic the PRP is then injected into your skin of the scalp, much like having other cosmetic injections. The entire process takes about an hour. Results take around 2-3 weeks to see and a series of up to 3 treatments is recommended 4 weeks apart. Your skin should still improve with time following your treatment programme. HOW TO PREPARE

EXPECTATIONS AND AFTERCARE
Initially you will see swelling from the treatment itself, this will gradually subside. For the first 2 weeks there is minimal change. Results become more visible around the 3 week period as platelets stimulate growth factors with concomitant hair production, this improvement will continue over the ensuing months. Minimal improvement occurs in persons with heavy alcohol, tobacco or drug usage as these patients harvest poor platelets.

These before and after photos are of a 44 year old male client of ours taken initially, after 2 treatments and after 4 treatments.
There has been considerable new hair growth and thickening.
Each treatment session takes roughly an hour and can been performed on either male or female clients suffering hair loss.

PRP SAFETY INFORMATION

PRP SAFETY
PRP is 100% your own cells (autologous) and therefore there is no risk of allergy, or rejection. PRP is inherently safe. PRP is suitable for all skin tones and can be used in pregnant and breast feeding patients DURATION OF PRP After 3 treatments, a repeat treatment should be done within 2 years. This is because once tissue is regenerated and remodeled with this effect being long lasting, we unfortunately continue to age, and with time the problem areas begin to reappear.
