PRP for Hair Loss: Everything You Need to Know Before Your Treatment
Hair loss can be a distressing experience, affecting confidence and self-esteem. Whether you’re dealing with thinning hair, receding hairlines, or excessive shedding, finding the right solution can be overwhelming. One clinically proven and natural treatment gaining popularity is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy—a procedure designed to stimulate hair growth using the healing power of your own blood.
At Alex James SMP, we understand the importance of offering cutting-edge, effective treatments for hair restoration. That’s why PRP for hair loss is now available in our clinic, provided by Dawn from Queen Bee Clinic—a trusted specialist in non-surgical hair rejuvenation.
What is PRP for Hair Loss?
PRP therapy is a non-surgical treatment that involves extracting platelet-rich plasma from your own blood and injecting it into the scalp. Platelets contain growth factors that help stimulate dormant hair follicles, encourage new hair growth, and improve overall hair density and strength.
The treatment follows these key steps:
- Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is taken, similar to a routine blood test.
- Centrifuge Process: The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components.
- Injection into the Scalp: The concentrated PRP is injected into areas experiencing hair thinning or excessive shedding, promoting natural hair regrowth over time.
Why Consider PRP for Hair Loss?
PRP is an excellent option for those seeking a natural, non-invasive alternative to hair transplants. Here are some key benefits:
✅ 100% Natural – No synthetic chemicals or medications involved.
✅ Stimulates Hair Growth – Reactivates weakened hair follicles.
✅ Safe & Effective – Uses your own blood, reducing the risk of reactions.
✅ Minimal Downtime – No surgery, no scarring, and no long recovery period.
✅ Boosts Scalp Health – Improves circulation and strengthens existing hair.
Does PRP Really Work? Real Results from Our Clients
What to Expect from PRP Hair Treatments
Before undergoing PRP at Alex James SMP, it’s important to set realistic expectations.
🔹 How Many Sessions Are Needed? Most clients require three to six sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6-12 months for long-term results.
🔹 When Will You See Results? While some individuals notice less shedding within a few weeks, visible hair thickening typically occurs after 3-6 months.
🔹 Is PRP Painful? PRP injections involve mild discomfort, but numbing cream can be applied to minimize any pain.
🔹 Who is PRP Best For? PRP works best for early-stage hair loss, thinning hair, or post-transplant healing. It may not be as effective for individuals with severe baldness where follicles are no longer active.
