PRP for Hair Loss

Thinning hair and hair loss are common issues which affect millions of people worldwide. Not only do these conditions affect a person’s appearance, but they also often impact their self-esteem and quality of life.

Fortunately, there are numerous surgical and non-surgical treatment options available to combat balding. More recently, these have come to include PRP injections. As a leading hair restoration specialist in Glasgow, Dr Bonaros offers tailored treatment plans, including PRP scalp injections for hair growth.

Having traditionally been used for musculoskeletal issues, PRP is a relatively new hair loss treatment.

The PRP procedure involves collecting platelet-rich plasma from a patient’s bloodstream and injecting it into their scalp to promote hair growth and quality.

PRP therapy is most commonly used to treat male and female pattern hair loss (also known as androgenetic alopecia).

How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?

PRP therapy for hair loss has been shown to effectively combat thinning hair and balding. However, this procedure’s exact mechanism of action remains unknown.

Alongside red and white blood cells, plasma and platelets are key components found in our blood. Platelets contain cytokines and other growth factors, which they release when activated. These play an important role in promoting cell rejuvenation and growth.

Platelet-rich plasma contains around five times more platelets than regular blood. During a plasma hair treatment, PRP is injected into the dermal papilla cells at the base of your hair follicles. This can help increase blood supply to the hair and strengthen existing follicles. In turn, these effects can stimulate natural hair growth, increase thickness and reduce premature shedding.

PRP therapy is designed not to initiate the growth of new hair strands but to reinforce and augment the existing hair follicles, particularly those undergoing miniaturisation.

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 between 10 and 20 ml of blood (usually from the veins in your arm).
A centrifuge machine is used to separate the blood into layers.
The PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is then extracted and injected deep into areas of your scalp where you are experiencing thinning hair or balding.

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

Plasma treatment for hair loss is not permanent, and results are usually maintained with follow-up sessions every three to six months.

For more information about what this procedure entails, read our pre- & post-PRP treatment instructions.

Efficacy of PRP Hair Therapy

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 success of the therapy depends on the concentration and adjustment of the platelets and blood components in the PRP preparation.
The type of centrifuge used to isolate the PRP is also pivotal, as different devices can produce varying concentrations.
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.

PPR Treatment Protocol

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

Potential PRP Side Effects

Research into PRP as a hair loss treatment has shown that potential side effects are limited. However, you may experience some of the following mild symptoms.

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, therefore, can have varying reactions to a PRP treatment for hair loss.

Before undergoing PRP therapy, you should have an in-depth consultation with your healthcare provider. During this appointment, you will discuss 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

Cayden

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!
