Frequently asked questions

What does hair regneration Procedure involve?


What does the procedure involve? PRP is an autologous treatment, meaning that it is only your own cells being put back into your scalp. 8-24ml of your blood is collected in a similar way to a blood test. This is spun down in a centrifuge using the specially designed PRP tube that separates the PRP from the red blood cells. The PRP portion of the tube is then drawn up into a syringe ready for re-injection into the scalp. A tiny quantity of platelet activator called Calcium Chloride may be added, which is found naturally in your blood. Topical anaesthetic cream may be applied before injection, meaning re-injection causes little to no pain.
