About this Treatment
This is a single session of treatment with platelet-rich plasma to be used on the scalp for hair rejuvenation.
- Added in with the PRP is Biotin, which is Vitamin B7. This is one of our ‘boosters’ which complements PRP treatment.
- Also added is another ‘booster’ known as microneedling which involves creating a series of very superficial puncture sites in the scalp with a Dermaroller/Dermapen.
What to Expect
- Biotin is injected alongside PRP into the scalp, focussing its action here. Hair is made of Keratin which is how Biotin helps.
- Studies have shown that Biotin can stimulate hair growth, thicken hair and increase shin. An optional adjunct to your PRP hair treatment.
Expected duration for the treatment is 1 hour and 30 minutes with premium topical anaesthetic to be used before.
Things to Consider
Microneedling aims to accelerate the response to the PRP by increasing blood flow and nutrient supply to the scalp as well as inducing new cells that support hair growth.
