Any Side Effects from PRP Hair Treatment?
As we use our own autologous blood, reactions to PRP are rare.
Usually, there is a risk of bruising at the injection site, so we apply a numbing agent to the area – making it a virtually painless treatment.

We focus on affected areas, such as scars or hair loss/alopecia, with the aim to repair and rejuvenate the area.

The sample obtained is injected into the area – whether the scalp for hair loss or the skin for scar repair. The platelet-rich plasma may support the body’s natural healing response by releasing growth factors that can promote regeneration in the treated area.
These cells may contribute to the natural repair process in areas like hair follicles.

We use advanced techniques to ensure you get high quality PRP extracted from your blood, after initial screening tests. These tests ensure there is no underlying medical condition causing your hair loss.
Once we have the extracted PRP, we activate and administer it to your scalp using our state-of- the-art PRP gun: Mesogun U225. This ensures that with each injection, a perfect amount of PRP droplet is administered into the affected scalp area – and your liquid gold PRP isn’t wasted.
The advantages of using this gun include:
We advise not to shower for at least 12 hours after the procedure so that the PRP absorbs into the scalp.

If you have any medical conditions, please discuss them with us to ensure a safe and tailored treatment.

Like any medical procedure, PRP carries some mild temporary side effects, including pain or swelling at the injection sites, bruising, and mild headache. We prioritise the safety and effectiveness of our treatments, to minimise the risk of infections, complications and unsatisfactory results. We also always numb the area to be treated – ensuring a virtually painless experience.
