What happens during PRP restoration?
During a PRP tissue regeneration session, there are three key steps:
- Firstly, the qualified and experienced nurse will draw 10 – 60ml of blood, usually from the patient’s arm.
- Then the nurse will spin the blood to extract the platelet-rich plasma from the whole blood.
Plasma is a liquid substance found in the blood that contains platelets, which stimulate hair follicles when reintroduced into the scalp.
- Finally, the nurse then injects the platelet-rich plasma into areas on the patient’s scalp, for about 15 to 20 injections per session.
It is recommended that patients receive three PRP therapy treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart for the best results.
PRP treatment results
While results will vary from person to person, most patients see significant improvement after the first or second platelet-rich plasma treatment.
Results can include:
- Thicker hair growth
- Normal hair loss
- An increase in hair thickness
- Dormant hair follicles are awoken
- Increased self-esteem
Hair growth results can last up to 12-24 months post-treatment, but some patients may need regular maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to preserve the desired results – ask our practitioner for more details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP treatment the same as PRP therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma therapy has many names within the industry, all of which describe the same remedy. This includes:
- Platelet-rich plasma therapy
- PRP hair treatment
- PRP scalp injections
- PRP scalp treatments
- PRP treatment
- PRP therapy
- Platelet-rich plasma injections
You should be aware, however, that advanced PRP treatment is not a like-for-like cosmetic solution, as it focuses on improving the aesthetics of the face, not the hair, and includes the use of hyaluronic acid alongside platelet-rich plasma.
Can platelet-rich plasma therapy stop age-related hair loss?
The use of platelet-rich plasma is essential for PRP treatment because platelets contain cytokines and proteins that promote growth, healing, and rejuvenation. When used in cosmetic treatments to correct hair thinning, injected PRP increases hair growth and gives existing hair follicles a boost.
When undergoing PRP therapy, it’s not encouraged to use platelet-rich plasma from another source or person because of the risk of infection. For this reason, PRP will always be given back to the patient who donated it at the start of the appointment.
As it is not needed for improving growth factors or improving hair density, the rest of the blood products, such as white and red blood cells, will be safely disposed of as medical waste.

Does PRP treatment really improve hair?
Unlike many hacks, tips, tricks, and products you might find online that claim to boost hair growth, improve hair density, and stimulate hair follicles, PRP treatment has been scientifically proven to work.
Popular medical treatment reviews that support PRP therapy include:
- A 2022 review from Drug Design, Development, and Therapy via Dove Press
- A 2020 review from the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology
- A 2018 review from the International Journal of Women’s Dermatology
This scientific endorsement is important for many of our patients, as it allows them to focus on treatments that really work, save money on useless products, and make their investment worthwhile.
To start your PRP treatment today, why not call us to book a hair rejuvenation appointment? We offer platelet-rich plasma therapy at any of our Upminster, Rayleigh, or Maldon clinics.
Are there side effects to PRP therapy for hair restoration?
As with all cosmetic treatments, there is a risk of side effects from PRP therapy.
These rare side effects can include:
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Scalp pain
- Irritation during the healing process
- Scar tissue at the injection site
- Injury to blood vessels
- Injury to nerves
Many of these consequences can occur from having blood drawn to harvest the plasma.
So, to limit the likelihood of negative results after your PRP treatment, you can:
- Eat a healthy, balanced meal near your appointment time, for breakfast or lunch
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
- Tell our practitioners if you find it better to give blood in a particular position to stop dizziness and nausea
If you want to know more, contact our expert practitioners – we have years of experience delivering PRP therapy to patients of all types, so there’s not likely to be a question we haven’t heard before!
What are hair follicles and how do they help with hair growth?
A hair follicle is like a pore and is found within the top two layers of skin. Each follicle surrounds a hair root and strand, and there are around 1 million of them on your head alone.
One of the main jobs of hair follicles is to grow individual hair strands, and over your lifetime, the hair follicle can start and stop functioning at any time.
Lifeless, thin hair is a common side effect of damaged or degenerating hair follicles, while improved hair density and hair thickness come from a well-performing, healthy follicle.
Injecting PRP into the scalp, as part of PRP therapy, encourages hair follicle health and regeneration, helping to stimulate hair health and happiness.
For an initial consultation for PRP hair regeneration treatment, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team at Aesthetics of Essex.
