Hair Restoration

Non-Surgical Support for Hair Thinning

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses components of your own blood to support scalp health and hair follicle function. At our clinic, PRP hair treatments are performed by experienced clinicians in medical facilities, following strict safety and sterilisation protocols.

PRP therapy is commonly sought by individuals experiencing early hair thinning or reduced hair density. Treatment suitability and expected outcomes are always assessed during a personalised consultation.

What Is PRP Hair Treatment?

PRP hair treatment involves the use of platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood. Platelets contain growth factors that play a role in normal tissue repair and regeneration.

In hair loss consultations, PRP may be discussed as a treatment option to:

  • Support scalp health
  • Encourage hair follicles into an active growth phase
  • Improve hair thickness and quality in some individuals

PRP does not involve surgery and is typically associated with minimal downtime.

Who May Consider PRP for Hair Loss?

PRP hair therapy may be discussed with men and women who:

  • Are experiencing early to moderate hair thinning
  • Have androgenetic (pattern) hair loss
  • Notice increased shedding or reduced hair density
  • Are seeking non-surgical options to support hair health
  • Wish to complement other hair loss management strategies

PRP may also be considered as an adjunctive treatment for individuals undergoing hair transplant procedures, subject to clinical assessment.

Early consultation is encouraged, as hair follicles that have been dormant for shorter periods may respond more favourably.

Your Consultation

Your initial consultation includes:

  • A comprehensive scalp and hair assessment
  • Discussion of medical history and contributing factors
  • Review of current or previous hair loss treatments
  • Discussion of suitability, limitations, and expected outcomes

If PRP is considered appropriate, your clinician will outline a personalised treatment plan and explain the procedure, potential side effects, and aftercare.

How PRP Hair Treatment Is Performed

  1. Blood Collection
     A small amount of blood is taken, similar to a routine blood test.

  2. Plasma Preparation
     The blood is processed using a medical-grade centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma.

  3. Scalp Treatment
     The PRP is carefully introduced into targeted areas of the scalp where thinning is present.

Treatments are performed in a clinical environment with patient comfort and safety prioritised.

Treatment Experience & Recovery

  • Treatment time: approximately 45–60 minutes
  • Discomfort: generally mild; numbing or comfort measures may be offered
  • Downtime: minimal; most patients return to normal activities the same day
  • Hair washing: usually permitted several hours after treatment

Your clinician will provide personalised aftercare advice.

Treatment Schedule

While individual plans vary, PRP hair therapy is commonly discussed as:

  • An initial course of multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart
  • Ongoing maintenance treatments, if appropriate

Your clinician will advise on a schedule tailored to your hair condition and response.

Expected Outcomes

Responses to PRP hair treatment vary. Some individuals may notice:

  • Reduced hair shedding
  • Improved hair texture or thickness
  • Gradual changes over several months

PRP is not a guaranteed solution for hair loss and may be less effective in areas where follicles are no longer active. Results depend on individual factors including genetics, underlying health, and the extent of hair loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes hair loss?

Hair loss may be influenced by genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, nutritional deficiencies, stress, medications, or ageing. A medical assessment helps identify contributing factors.

Does PRP work for everyone?

No. PRP is not suitable for all types or stages of hair loss. A consultation is required to determine if it may be appropriate for you.

When will I see results?

Changes, if they occur, are typically gradual and may become noticeable several months after treatment. Individual responses vary.

Can PRP make hair loss worse?

PRP is not known to cause permanent hair loss. Some people may experience temporary shedding as part of the hair growth cycle.

Are there side effects?

Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or mild bruising at treatment sites. Your clinician will discuss risks during consultation.

Is PRP safe?

PRP uses your own blood products, which reduces the risk of allergic reaction. As with all medical procedures, risks exist and will be explained prior to treatment.

Important Information

  • PRP hair therapy does not guarantee hair regrowth
  • Results vary between individuals
  • Multiple sessions may be required
  • A consultation with a qualified medical professional is essential

Exosomes for Hair Loss

Regenerative Support for Scalp and Hair Health

Hair thinning and loss can affect more than appearance—it may impact confidence and wellbeing. We offer exosome therapy as a non-surgical treatment option that may support scalp health and hair follicle function in selected individuals.

Exosome therapy is delivered by experienced cosmetic doctors and nurses in our medical clinic. Suitability for treatment is determined following a comprehensive consultation.

Results vary between individuals. A consultation with a qualified medical professional is required to determine if this treatment is appropriate for you.

What Are Exosomes?

Exosomes are microscopic extracellular vesicles naturally released by cells. They act as biological messengers, carrying signalling molecules such as proteins, lipids, and genetic material that play a role in normal cell communication and tissue repair.

In aesthetic and regenerative medicine, exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) lines are used in a cell-free form. This means no live stem cells are used in treatment.

When applied to the scalp as part of a clinical procedure, exosomes may help support:

  • Scalp environment and follicle signalling

  • Normal inflammatory balance around hair follicles

  • Cellular communication involved in tissue repair

How Exosomes May Be Used for Hair Thinning

When introduced into the scalp via microneedling, exosomes are intended to interact with skin and follicular cells through biological signalling pathways.

In clinical practice, exosome therapy is commonly discussed as a potential option to:

  • Support hair follicles during the growth phase

  • Improve scalp quality and circulation

  • Complement other hair restoration or maintenance strategies

Exosomes differ from PRP in that they are a standardised product, rather than being derived from an individual’s blood. Your clinician will explain how this may be relevant to your treatment plan.

Who May Be Suitable for Exosome Hair Therapy?

Exosome therapy may be discussed with individuals experiencing:

  • Androgenetic (male or female pattern) hair thinning

  • Diffuse shedding (such as telogen effluvium)

  • Postpartum or post-illness hair changes

  • Early-stage thinning or preventative hair support

Treatment suitability depends on scalp health, hair loss pattern, medical history, and individual expectations.

Consultation & Treatment Planning

Your consultation includes:

  • A detailed scalp and hair assessment

  • Discussion of contributing factors to hair thinning

  • Review of previous or current hair loss treatments

  • Explanation of potential benefits, limitations, and risks

If appropriate, your clinician will recommend a personalised treatment plan, which may include exosomes alone or in combination with other modalities.

Treatment Experience

Exosome therapy for hair loss is commonly performed with scalp microneedling.

  • Treatment time: approximately 45–60 minutes

  • Downtime: minimal; most patients return to daily activities the same day

  • Sensation: generally well tolerated; comfort measures may be used

Aftercare instructions will be provided to support scalp recovery.

Pricing

A personalised treatment plan and number of sessions including the cost will be discussed during consultation.

Important Information

  • Exosome therapy does not guarantee hair regrowth
  • Individual results vary significantly
  • Multiple treatments may be recommended
  • This treatment may not be suitable for all types or stages of hair loss
