PRP Treatment for Hair Loss

The PRP treatment uses a small blood sample, usually your own blood. The sample is processed and then injected into your scalp to help with healthier, thicker new hair growth.

Traditionally used for musculoskeletal issues, PRP is a newer off-label hair loss treatment supported by multiple clinical studies. PRP therapy is most commonly used to treat female and male pattern hair loss (also known as androgenetic alopecia) and alopecia areata.

Thinning hair and hair loss are common issues that affect millions of people worldwide. These conditions can affect a person’s appearance, often impacting their self-esteem and quality of life. Fortunately, there are numerous surgical and non-surgical treatment options available to combat balding, including PRP injections.

As a certified hair restoration specialist in Glasgow, Dr Bonaros offers tailored PRP treatment plans, either as a monotherapy or to enhance the results of other treatments or support post-hair transplant recovery and hair regrowth.

How PRP Hair Treatments Work

PRP for hair loss has been shown to effectively combat thinning hair and balding. While its exact mechanism of action remains unknown, several biological processes are believed to contribute to its effectiveness.

Your blood contains:

White and red blood cells
Plasma
Platelets, which are rich in growth factors that help the body tissue regeneration and natural healing.

Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrated form of platelets, usually 5 times higher than regular blood.

During a plasma hair treatment, PRP is injected into your scalp at the hair follicle level. This can help:

Increase blood supply to the hair
Strengthen existing miniaturised follicles
Stimulate natural hair growth
Increase hair thickness
Reduce premature shedding

The PRP Therapy Procedure

Getting a PRP injection is a relatively simple procedure:

Your hair loss specialist will begin by collecting platelet-rich plasma for your hair loss treatment. This is done by drawing a small quantity of blood, typically between 10 and 20 ml (usually from the veins in your arm).
A centrifuge machine separates the blood into 3 layers: platelet-rich and platelet-poor plasma, and red cells.
The PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is then extracted and injected deep into areas of your scalp where you are experiencing hair thinning or balding.

This process is usually repeated over a few months to help strengthen hair follicles and achieve the desired hair density.

Plasma treatment for hair loss is not permanent, and to maintain results, many patients have follow-up sessions every 3 to 6 months.

Efficacy of PRP Hair Therapy

While results differ, most patients notice:

Gradual improvements in hair thickness and quality
Reduced hair shedding
Healthier overall hair cycle
Benefits that build over time, with duration depending on individual response and maintenance treatments

It’s important to note that the efficacy of PRP treatments can vary between patients. If effective, PRP therapy can encourage hair follicle growth and result in a thicker, fuller head of hair. However, this is not always the case.

The effects of PRP treatments for hair thinning and loss are dependent on:

Platelet concentration and density: The various PRP kits have different densities of platelets that will affect the success of the therapy.
Centrifuge technology: The type of centrifuge used to isolate the PRP is pivotal, as different devices can separate the platelets and other blood cells at varying concentrations.
Viability of hair follicles: PRP strengthens existing follicles and may help stimulate inactive but still living follicles.
Combination treatment plan: To enhance your results, your doctor may recommend a combined treatment plan. Studies suggest that combining PRP therapy with other hair loss medications like minoxidil can increase the efficacy of your treatment.

PRP Treatment Protocol

We utilise two different PRP kits, Cellenis and Onset. This ensures we can meet all patient needs with superior-quality, safe treatments.

The recommended course is three sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
After the initial phase, we recommend one session every 4-6 months to maintain the results.

Each session lasts around 1 hour.

Cost of PRP Treatment in Glasgow

PRP hair treatment costs vary depending on the brand of therapy. At our Glasgow clinic, Cellenis PRP kits average:

One target area: £390 for a PRP session focusing on a single area (frontal, mid-scalp, or crown)
Two areas: £490 per session for two areas, such as the frontal and mid-scalp or crown

For those opting for Onset PRP kits, the cost is £250 for one area and £300 for two treated areas per session.

Potential PRP Side Effects

Research into PRP for hair loss is generally well tolerated, with limited potential side effects. In some cases, patients may experience mild symptoms during the recovery time, such as:

Slight pain or discomfort
Headache
Redness
Itching or swelling on the top of the head
Temporary hair shedding

Please remember that all patients are different and may have varying reactions to PRP treatments for hair loss.

Before undergoing PRP therapy, you should have an in-depth consultation with your healthcare provider. During this appointment, you will discuss your overall health, any potential risks, and side effects you can expect.

I recently went for an in-person appointment with Dr Bonaros. He is very professional, friendly and well informed.

Highly recommended.

Jackie Lambert

Dr Bonaros is an incredibly talent doctor in his field and has provided me with a wonderful hair transplant result. Finding information and pictures for female hair transplants was really hard. Hair is such a defining part of us all that is not realised until you start to lose your hair.
I suffered female pattern balding and hair thinning due to menopause and became very self conscious. I was worried about the treatment (as many on line photos looked so horrific), pain, recovery time, would it work, results etc. I also didn't want to lose more hair over the coming years, but also didn't want to have my head shaved at the back for the transplant.
Dr Bonaros answered all my questions and was such a knowledgeable and calming person that I knew he was the doctor for me and I was in safe hands.
On the day of the transplant, he and his team were amazing and so very kind and took great care of me. The aftercare and regular check ups were great.
I have just celebrated by first hair transplant birthday and the result are fantastic. I have consented for Dr Bonaros to share all of my journey photos with any other women out there contemplating this treatment. I cannot recommend highly enough. My hair is thicker and fuller and I even have a full fringe now.

Can't thank the Dr and the team enough for such great work on my hair. It's been a year and I'm delighted with the results of my 4000 graft procedure.

The team were kind, professional and patient during the consultation stage. They answered all my questions and made me feel at ease.

During the operation every step was explained and the experience was made as comfortable as possible over the two days of my 4000 graft procedure. It's a morning of extractions from the donor area and an afternoon of inserting them into the recipient area with lunch provided. I brought some in-ear headphones for a podcast to pass the time and it does fly by. Dr Bonaros was present at all times performing the extractions and graft placement. They worked non-stop during this time.

The post operation care package you get home and the follow up emails and appointments to ask questions really made the whole post care process easy at what is a sensitive time.

Fully recovered and seeing the results, it's gave me a lot of confidence and looking back at old photographs I really do not regret having it done, I wish I did it sooner.

Really appreciate what the clinic has done for me. Thank you Dr Bonaros and Team!

graham jardine

Can’t thank dr Bonaros and the team enough,

I found them to be extremely professional, reassuring and kind.

I work an operating theatre environment so I guess I was a bit of a tough customer however I was very impressed with my hair transplant from first consultation to the operation itself.

I’m now 4 months out and have loads of hair growth, my confidence has been renewed massively and my only regret is not having the treatment sooner!

Thanks again

Kind regards

Graham

I had a 2000 graft hair transplant with Dr Bonaros just over a year ago. It was painless, very easy on my part (I just had to lie in different positions and amuse myself) and Dr Bonaros and his team were super informative and happily answered all of my questions both during our initial consult and the procedure itself.

I was seen at 8:50am and we finished up I believe around 4pm, with an hour lunch break (the surgery provided a hot lunch, and were very accommodating with my dietary needs)

Aftercare was very well explained and I was given all the necessary equipment and care instructions for my recovery.

I had no complications during or after the transplant, and healing with a lot easier than I expected. Patience and time are the main factors for the months after your transplant.

I am over the moon with my results, I am so much more confident and my self-esteem has come on in leaps and bounds.

Thank you so much for giving me a new lease on life!

From the very beginning, the entire experience was fantastic. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and explained every step of the process in great detail

The procedure was surprisingly comfortable, with minimal discomfort during and after the surgery. The recovery went well, and I was provided with clear instructions and a goody bag to take away to aid my recovery.

I highly recommend that everyone consult with Dr. Bonaro and his staff before making a final decision. You won't regret it!
