What is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration uses a small sample of your own blood, spun to concentrate the platelets, which is then injected into the scalp to support the hair follicles' natural growth cycle.
A meta-analysis of nine randomised trials covering 238 patients found PRP significantly increased hair density at three and six months compared with placebo, with no serious adverse reactions reported.1 Be precise about the rest of that result: hair count and hair diameter improved from baseline but did not differ significantly from placebo.
A wider review of injectable treatments for pattern hair loss reports benefit, while calling the evidence base limited by small samples, varying protocols and short follow-up.2
PRP works best where follicles are still active. It supports thinning hair rather than restoring long-bald areas, and a doctor should assess which of those describes you before you commit to a course.
How it works
A small blood sample is taken and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. The PRP is then injected into thinning areas of the scalp with very fine needles.
How it works, in a picture
Who performs this
Every plan starts with a consultation. Which clinician you see depends on availability and on what the assessment finds.
Benefits
Treatment areas

Expected results
A course of sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart is typical; changes in shedding and hair quality build gradually over months.

Adults with early thinning or diffuse hair loss who still have active follicles. Suitability and realistic expectations are confirmed at a doctor consultation.
Side effects & aftercare
Individual responses vary — the team explains everything before treatment and is one message away after it.

Frequently asked questions
PRP works best where follicles are still active — it supports thinning hair rather than restoring long-bald areas. The doctor will assess honestly at consultation.
Most people describe pressure and a brief sting as the plasma goes in. Topical numbing is available if you would prefer it, and the injections themselves take only a few minutes.
A course of four sessions about four weeks apart is the usual starting point, with maintenance discussed afterwards. How many you actually need depends on how your scalp responds, which is reviewed as you go rather than sold upfront.
Biotin is a cofactor for the carboxylase enzymes the body uses in fatty acid synthesis, and hair is affected where somebody is genuinely deficient in it. That is the reasoning behind the combined option. It is worth being straight about the limits: evidence for supplementing people who are NOT deficient is weak, and true deficiency is uncommon on an ordinary diet. Your doctor will say at the consultation whether it is likely to add anything for you, and a blood test can settle it.
Yes, and it matters more than most people expect. High-dose biotin interferes with several laboratory immunoassays — thyroid, hormone and cardiac troponin tests among them — and can produce falsely high or falsely low results. The US FDA has linked falsely low troponin readings to biotin, including one reported death. Tell any doctor arranging a blood test that you have had biotin, and leave a gap between the two where you can.
