Yes. Many people use PRP proactively in their late 20s or 30s to slow collagen loss and keep hair follicles active. Early intervention often leads to better, longer-lasting results.

PRP uses your platelets to release growth factors that stimulate repair. Stem cell therapy involves harvesting and reintroducing stem cells, which is more complex, costly, and not widely available in aesthetic clinics.

Yes. PRP is safe across all Fitzpatrick skin types because it doesn’t rely on heat or light energy, which can trigger hyperpigmentation. It’s often chosen as a safer alternative to lasers for darker skin.

Postpartum hair shedding and changes in skin texture are common. PRP can safely support scalp recovery and skin rejuvenation once you’re no longer breastfeeding, as most practitioners avoid treatment during that period.

Single-spin centrifugation produces a moderate concentration of platelets. Double-spin methods refine this further, often leading to higher platelet counts. The technique used can influence results, so it’s worth asking your practitioner.

Yes. Being well-hydrated improves the quality of your blood sample, which can increase platelet concentration. Practitioners often recommend drinking 1.5–2 litres of water in the days before treatment.

Yes. Many people combine PRP with Botox for movement lines or fillers for lost volume. PRP improves skin quality, while injectables address shape and wrinkles, creating a more complete result.

It’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot yoga for 24–48 hours after treatment. Heat and sweat can increase swelling and irritation at the injection sites.

Yes, in some cases. By stimulating collagen and improving blood flow, PRP can reduce hollowness and pigmentation under the eyes. Results vary depending on whether circles are caused by skin thinning, vessels, or pigmentation.

There’s no strict age, but most people start in their 30s or 40s, when early ageing or mild hair thinning appears. Younger patients may use it preventatively, while older patients often combine PRP with other treatments.

Yes, but timing matters. PRP is often used after laser or microneedling to speed healing. If you’ve had fillers, most practitioners recommend spacing treatments at least 2–4 weeks apart.

In rare cases, yes—mainly for joint conditions or wound healing. It isn’t offered for cosmetic concerns like hair loss or skin rejuvenation, which remain private treatmen

A typical session lasts 45–90 minutes, including consultation, blood draw, and preparation. The injection portion is relatively quick, usually 15–30 minutes.

Smoking, heavy alcohol use, poor sleep, and a nutrient-poor diet can all reduce PRP’s effectiveness. A healthy lifestyle supports platelet function and helps maintain results longer.

PRP involves multiple small injections into the scalp, which can cause mild discomfort. Clinics often apply numbing cream or use cooling techniques to minimise pain during the session.

Most patients start with three to four initial treatments, about four to six weeks apart. Maintenance sessions are usually recommended every six to twelve months, depending on your response and goals.

Many patients begin to notice a reduction in shedding within the first month. Visible hair thickness and density improvements typically appear between three and six months post-treatment.
