PRP Hair Treatment in Sydney

What Is PRP Hair Treatment?

PRP hair treatment uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood and delivered to selected areas of the scalp. It may be considered as part of a treatment plan for some types of hair thinning or hair loss.

Who May Benefit?

PRP may be considered for suitable patients with certain forms of hair thinning or early-stage hair loss. The underlying cause of hair loss should be assessed before treatment, as PRP is not appropriate for every type of hair loss.

How Is PRP Prepared?

A blood sample is processed using a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich component. PRF may also be considered depending on the treatment plan.

Preparing for Hair Treatment

Patients may be asked to provide recent blood tests and should be well hydrated before treatment. Medical history, medications and the likely cause of hair loss should be reviewed before proceeding.

Who May Not Be Suitable?

Contraindications are similar to other PRP and PRF treatments and can include active infection, low platelet counts, anaemia, some blood disorders, active malignancy, chronic liver disease, pregnancy or breastfeeding.

What to Expect

A series of treatments may be recommended depending on the individual. Response varies, and no treatment can guarantee hair regrowth.
