What is PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Hair Treatment is an advanced, non-surgical solution for those experiencing hair loss or thinning. This innovative therapy utilises your body’s own natural growth factors to stimulate hair follicles, encouraging new growth and strengthening existing hair.
​
At Scalp&Art Nottingham, our PRP Hair Therapy offers a scientifically-backed approach to addressing various forms of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness), alopecia areata, and general thinning.
How PRP Hair Treatment Works
PRP Hair Treatment harnesses the healing potential within your own blood. The procedure involves:
-
Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
-
Processing: Your blood is placed into a specially designed centrifuge where the red blood cells are separated from the plasma. This process concentrates platelets in the plasma, creating Platelet-Rich Plasma.
-
Extraction: The platelet-rich plasma, containing highly concentrated growth factors, is extracted.
-
Application: Using very fine needles, these Hair Loss Injections are precisely administered into the areas of your scalp experiencing thinning or loss.
​
The growth factors released from the platelets stimulate dormant hair follicles, promote new hair growth, and strengthen thinning hair by improving blood supply to the follicles. This natural approach uses your body’s own regenerative capabilities, making it a safe and effective treatment option.

Who Can Benefit from PRP Hair Therapy?
PRP Hair Treatment is suitable for both men and women experiencing various types of hair loss, particularly:
​​
-
Men with male pattern baldness (especially in early stages)
-
Women with female-pattern hair thinning
-
Individuals with thinning hair due to stress or medical treatments
-
Those experiencing postpartum hair shedding
-
People with alopecia areata (patchy hair loss)
-
Patients looking for a natural approach to hair restoration
-
Individuals seeking to enhance results from hair transplants
​
Ideal candidates have “weak quality” hair growth, where hair follicles are still present but producing thinner, shorter hairs.
Treatment Protocol
The standard PRP Hair Treatment protocol for optimal results is:
​​
-
One session every 4 weeks for the first 3 months (3 sessions)
-
One session every 12 weeks afterwards (3 sessions)
-
Maintenance treatments every 6-8 months
​
This structured approach ensures sustained growth stimulation and long-lasting results from your PRP Hair Therapy.
Safety and Side Effects
Because PRP Hair Treatment uses your own blood, there is NO chance of having an allergic reaction or immune rejection. The procedure is remarkably safe with minimal side effects.
​
Is the PRP Treatment painful?
Generally speaking, PRP Hair Loss Injections are not painful. There may be mild discomfort from the injections, and some redness can appear for a few hours after the treatment. Most patients find the procedure very tolerable.
