Platelet Rich Plasma for Hair Loss

The main objective of PRP treatments is to stimulate hair growth in people who aren’t responding to other forms of treatment. For example, there are some patients who don’t respond to medication and aren’t suitable candidates for surgery, this is when PRP is recommended. Since the patient’s own blood is used, there are also no side effects besides some tenderness and swelling.

Men and women suffering from most types of alopecia or general hair thinning, those looking to prevent further loss and patients considering hair loss surgery can all benefit from hair regrowth treatment in Sydney, provided they are in good health. Treatments are most beneficial if they are started once the first signs of hair thinning start to show. Your medical history will be reviewed and your scalp will be examined during your consultation to determine whether you’re an ideal candidate for this procedure.

No, unfortunately not. New hair growth may be seen as early as 2 months but is typically more evident at around the 5-8 month mark. Results will continue to improve for up to 12 months.

This may vary depending on the severity of your hair loss. Usually, 4 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart is recommended, then a single top-up treatment every 6 – 12 months as maintenance.

You will find PRP treatments bearable and we can use a topical anaesthetic to ensure maximum comfort during your sessions.

Since this is not a surgical procedure, no recovery time is necessary. With that being said, some patients do prefer to go home after their treatment and prefer to return to work the next day. Several hours after treatment, patients will be able to shower and wash and style their hair as usual.
