How Does PRP Hair Treatment Work?
PRP therapy works by injecting the patient's own concentrated platelet-rich plasma into the hair follicles, which stimulates and reactivates dormant or weakened hair follicles to produce thicker and healthier hair.
The process begins with a simple blood draw from the patient's arm; this is then placed in a centrifuge machine which separates the red blood cells from the plasma. The PRP is then injected into the scalp using a very fine needle, allowing the platelets to be delivered directly and efficiently to where they are needed.
Thanks to this process, hair follicles are nourished and stimulated in the scalp, resulting in an increase in blood flow to the area. PRP hair treatment typically requires a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, and results may vary from patient to patient, but all will be discussed during your initial hair loss consultation at your nearest Este UK clinic.
What can PRP Hair Treatment help with?
- Menopause Hair Loss
PRP therapy has been shown to be a highly effective hair loss treatment for those suffering from menopause-related hair loss. The procedure helps to stimulate the scalp and repair damage caused by hormones, providing thicker, fuller hair.
- Post-Hair Transplant Stimulation
After getting an FUE hair transplant, we use PRP injections to stimulate the newly transplanted hair follicles. This helps to shorten the healing time and increase the rate of successful grafts.
- Male/Female Pattern Baldness
Platelet-rich-plasma therapy is an effective treatment for both female and male pattern baldness, as it helps to stimulate and repair damaged hair follicles. We will need to assess the stage of pattern baldness you are at before we can decide on the best treatment plan for you.
- Alopecia
At Este Medical Group, we have treated a number of alopecia sufferers with PRP therapy and have seen significant improvements in the thickness and growth of hair. This proves hair PRP treatment to be incredibly effective in reversing the effects of alopecia.
- Thinning Hair
PRP therapy is an effective treatment for thinning hair, with many patients seeing significant improvements in their condition after receiving the treatment. PRP is a better option if you have thinning hair rather than going for an invasive hair transplant surgery.
PRP Hair Before & After Results
How Does PRP Facial Work?
The vampire facial process starts with a small sample of your blood being taken. This is then placed in a centrifuge that helps isolate the protein-rich plasma and platelets from other components in the blood, much like our PRP for hair loss treatment. The isolated PRP is then concentrated and applied to the face using micro-needling or injections.
The PRP treatment for face can take as little as 30 minutes, and it requires no downtime afterwards, meaning you can get back to your regular schedule as soon as possible. There are some minor side effects to be aware of, including slight redness and swelling, for a few days after the procedure. However, these will naturally subside.
Our team of expert professionals will guide you through the entire PRP facial treatment process from start to finish and ensure that it is performed in a safe and comfortable environment that yields the best possible results. Book your consultation today to discover what our PRP vampire facial can do for you and your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Platelets?
Platelets are the magic behind the plasma replacement therapy for hair treatment. Tiny cells found in the blood that contain important growth factors which are essential for wound healing, tissue regeneration and hair follicle stimulation. Platelets are an element of blood, along with red and white blood cells. The platelets are the body’s “first responders” that stop the bleeding and encourage healing when a person gets a cut.
How many PRP hair loss treatments will I need?
The number of treatments you need depends on the condition and severity of your hair loss. Generally, it is recommended that patients receive three treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart. After the initial course of treatments, some patients may require maintenance treatments every 6-12 months in order to maintain the desired results.
What kind of results can I expect? And how soon?
Results from our hair PRP treatment will vary from person to person. However, the majority of patients see visible results after the first or second treatment. Book your consultation to find out more about the results timeline.
