What is PRP hair loss treatment?
Hair loss affects many people — men and women — and can take a real toll on confidence. PRP hair loss treatment, also known as Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP) therapy, is a non-surgical option that uses your own plasma, which is rich in growth factors, to support the scalp.
Your blood contains plasma along with red cells, white cells and platelets. Platelets are best known for clotting, but they also carry growth factors involved in healing. In PRP hair loss treatment, these growth factors are thought to support hair follicle activity, and the platelet-rich plasma is injected into areas of the scalp where hair growth is desired.
It's a gentle, natural option — and because it uses your own plasma, the risk of allergic reaction is very low.
PRP hair loss is one of our PRP treatments in Birmingham — we also offer PRP Birmingham (vampire facial) for skin rejuvenation.
How PRP hair loss treatment supports hair
The growth factors concentrated in platelet-rich plasma are thought to stimulate the activity of hair follicles and encourage new hair growth when delivered to the scalp.
PRP hair loss treatment is most associated with androgenetic alopecia — male and female pattern baldness — which shows as a receding hairline and thinning on the top of the head in men, and more diffuse thinning across the scalp in women. People with other types of hair loss, such as telogen effluvium (stress-related) or alopecia areata, may also benefit, which is something we'd discuss at your consultation.
PRP hair loss Birmingham, step by step
- A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, like a routine blood test.
- The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma.
- The plasma is injected into the areas of the scalp where hair growth is desired.
The treatment is usually completed within an hour, and most clients find it very tolerable.
Realistic expectations
It's important to have realistic expectations. PRP isn't a magic cure for baldness, but it may significantly improve hair density and help slow the rate of hair loss when used as part of a comprehensive hair restoration plan.
Results vary from person to person. Noticeable improvements are typically seen within two to three months of the first treatment. Consistency matters: treatments are usually carried out every three to four weeks for the first two to three months, followed by maintenance treatments every three to six months.
We always recommend speaking with a professional before starting any new treatment, so we can help decide whether PRP hair loss treatment is right for your specific needs and make sure it's carried out safely.
Safety & suitability
Is PRP hair loss treatment safe?
PRP is considered safe because it uses your own blood, which removes the risk of disease transmission or allergic reaction. As with any procedure there are potential side effects — these may include mild pain at the injection site, scalp tenderness, swelling or headache. In rare cases there may be damage to blood vessels or nerves, infection, or calcification at the injection points.
How to prepare
- Avoid corticosteroid medication for 2–3 weeks before the procedure.
- Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, arthritis or steroid medication — always check with your GP before stopping any prescribed medication.
- Drink plenty of water before your treatment.
Who shouldn't have it
PRP hair loss treatment isn't suitable if any of the following apply. If unsure, please ask during your consultation:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Skin or scalp infections in the treatment area
- A medical condition that could spread infection
- Any bleeding issue or blood disorder
- Anaemia
