Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Loss Treatment at Reid Medical is an advanced, non-surgical therapy designed to help combat hair thinning and promote natural hair regrowth. PRP uses your own body’s healing power, taking a small sample of your blood, concentrating the platelets (which are rich in growth factors), and re-injecting this nutrient-rich plasma into the scalp to target areas of thinning or reduced hair density. This treatment supports the health and activity of existing hair follicles, helping to slow hair loss and encourage thicker, healthier hair over time.
PRP is often chosen by individuals experiencing early-stage hair loss, thinning hair, or pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), as a natural and minimally invasive option that harnesses the body’s own regenerative potential.
At Reid Medical, PRP Hair Loss Treatment is delivered by trained professionals in a clinical setting, ensuring both safety and personalised care throughout your hair restoration journey. PRP sessions can also be combined with other treatments as part of a bespoke care plan to enhance overall results.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Hair Loss Treatment is a procedure that uses a small amount of your own blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. These are then injected into areas of the scalp with thinning hair to stimulate follicle activity and support hair regeneration.
After drawing a small blood sample, it’s placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components. The concentrated PRP is then carefully injected into targeted scalp areas. Growth factors in the plasma help to improve blood supply to hair follicles, strengthen existing hairs, and encourage new growth.
Yes. Since PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is very low. Mild side effects can include temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites — symptoms that typically resolve within a few days.
PRP is best suited to people with early or moderate hair thinning, and those with existing but weakened hair follicles. It is less likely to help individuals with extensive baldness where follicles are no longer viable. A consultation with a clinician at Reid Medical helps determine candidacy.
Most treatment plans involve a series of sessions spaced roughly 4–6 weeks apart, typically starting with about 3 treatments. Maintenance sessions may be recommended every 6–12 months to sustain results.
Results vary between individuals, but many people begin noticing improvements in hair density, reduced shedding, or thickness within a few months — often around 3–6 months after beginning treatment.
Discomfort is generally mild. A local anaesthetic can be used to ensure your comfort during injections. Any post-procedure discomfort typically fades quickly.
