The basics

What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma from your own blood is injected into the scalp.

Results are mixed. PRP is a complement, not a proven solution.

Who it may suit

Who may consider it

PRP is not for everyone.

Early thinning

Some explore it as a supporting option.

Alongside a transplant

Part of the overall care around a hair transplant.

Those who prefer to avoid surgery

Not surgery, but no replacement for a transplant.

With a transplant

PRP together with a hair transplant

PRP can be part of a wider plan, before or after a transplant. If we suggest it, we explain why and what is uncertain.

Limits to be aware of

We are clear about what is not known.

  • Evidence is developingStudies vary, so firm conclusions are hard.
  • Individual responseSome notice a difference, others none.
  • Not a replacementIt does not restore a lost hairline.
