What is PRP hair restoration?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to support healthier hair growth. The platelet-rich plasma contains growth factors that may help stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp health and encourage thicker, stronger hair. At NTK Aesthetics in Manchester, PRP hair restoration is a popular option for clients experiencing early hair thinning or hair loss.

​

How does PRP for hair work?

A small sample of your blood is taken and placed into a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components. The PRP is then injected into targeted areas of the scalp, where the growth factors work to support the hair follicles, encourage natural hair growth and improve the overall health of the scalp.

​

What types of hair loss can PRP treat?

PRP may be suitable for a range of hair concerns, including:

• Early male pattern hair loss

• Female pattern hair thinning

• General hair thinning

• Reduced hair density

• Hair shedding

• Weak or thinning hair

During your consultation at our Manchester clinic, we'll assess your hair and scalp to determine whether PRP is an appropriate treatment for you.

 

Does PRP regrow hair?

PRP may help stimulate existing hair follicles, improve hair thickness and reduce ongoing hair shedding. Results vary between individuals, and the treatment is generally most effective for clients with thinning hair rather than complete hair loss where follicles are no longer active.

​

Is PRP suitable for both men and women?

Yes. PRP hair restoration can be suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or early stages of hair loss. A personalised consultation at our Manchester clinic will help determine if PRP is the most suitable treatment for your hair concerns.

​

How many PRP hair treatments will I need?

Most clients benefit from an initial course of three treatments, usually spaced four to six weeks apart. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months may be recommended depending on your individual response and hair loss pattern.

​

When will I see results from PRP hair restoration?

Hair grows slowly, so results develop gradually. Many clients notice reduced hair shedding within the first few months, with improvements in hair thickness and density becoming more noticeable after several months. Individual results vary.

​

How long do PRP hair results last?

The longevity of results varies depending on the cause of hair loss, age, genetics and lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments are often recommended to help support ongoing hair growth and preserve results.

​

Does PRP for hair hurt?

Most clients find the treatment well tolerated. You may experience some mild discomfort during the injections, but the procedure is generally quick and manageable.

 

Is there any downtime after PRP hair treatment?

There is very little downtime. You may experience mild redness, tenderness or slight swelling of the scalp for a day or two following treatment. Most clients are able to return to their normal daily activities shortly afterwards.

​

Is PRP hair restoration safe?

PRP uses your own blood, so the risk of an allergic reaction is extremely low. As with any injectable treatment, there are potential risks and side effects, which will be discussed during your consultation. At NTK Aesthetics in Manchester, we carry out a full medical assessment to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.

​

Who is suitable for PRP hair restoration?

PRP may be suitable for adults experiencing early or moderate hair thinning who still have active hair follicles. It is often recommended for clients looking for a non-surgical approach to improving hair density and scalp health.

​

Who is not suitable for PRP hair treatment?

PRP may not be suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain blood disorders, active scalp infections, uncontrolled medical conditions or are taking certain medications that affect blood clotting. Suitability will always be assessed during your consultation.

​

Can PRP be combined with other hair loss treatments?

Yes. PRP is often combined with other evidence-based hair restoration treatments such as Polynucleotides as part of a personalised treatment plan. During your consultation, we'll discuss the most appropriate options based on the cause of your hair loss and your individual goals.

​

Will PRP give immediate results?

No. PRP works by supporting your body's natural regenerative processes, so improvements develop gradually over time rather than immediately. Hair growth is a slow process, and patience is important to achieve the best possible outcome.

​

Is PRP a permanent treatment for hair loss?

PRP is not considered a permanent cure for hair loss. It is designed to support existing hair follicles and encourage healthier hair growth. Ongoing maintenance treatments may be recommended to help maintain results, particularly if the underlying cause of hair loss continues.

​

Can PRP help after a hair transplant?

In some cases, PRP may be used to support healing and improve the overall health of the scalp following a hair transplant. If you have had a transplant, we'll advise when PRP treatment may be appropriate as part of your aftercare.

​

Will my hair look natural after PRP?

Yes. PRP aims to improve the thickness, quality and health of your existing hair rather than create an artificial appearance. The goal is natural-looking improvement over time.

 

What should I do before and after PRP hair treatment?

Before treatment, it's important to stay well hydrated and follow any preparation advice provided during your consultation. After treatment, you may be advised to avoid washing your hair, strenuous exercise, alcohol and excessive heat for a short period. We'll provide you with personalised aftercare instructions to help achieve the best possible results.
