Which is better for hair loss, PRP or polynucleotides? 

Both support the scalp and hair follicles, in different ways. PRP uses growth factors from your own blood. Polynucleotides support repair and scalp health without a blood draw. Some people have both. Which suits you depends on your pattern of hair loss, and we will advise at your assessment.

​

How many sessions will I need? 

PRP hair restoration is a course of three sessions, four to six weeks apart. Polynucleotide hair restoration runs in two phases: four sessions every 7 to 14 days to stimulate the follicles, then four more every 21 to 30 days to build density. After either, maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months help keep the result.

 

When will I see results? 

Shedding often slows first, within the first couple of months. New growth and improved thickness build gradually over three to six months, because hair grows slowly.

 

Does it work for women? 

Yes. Female pattern thinning, shedding after pregnancy and hormonal hair loss are some of the most common reasons women come to us. Postpartum shedding often settles on its own, so we look at the timing and cause before recommending treatment.

 

Should I have a blood test first? 

Often, yes. Low iron, low vitamin D and thyroid problems are common causes of hair loss, and no scalp treatment can correct a deficiency. A blood test helps us treat the cause as well as the hair, and gives treatment a better chance of working.

 

Do you do hair transplants? 

No. We treat hair loss medically, which works best while hair follicles are still active: early thinning, a widening parting or shedding. Where an area has been bald for a long time and the follicles have stopped working, a transplant is usually the better option, and we will tell you honestly if that is where you are.

 

Does it hurt? 

The scalp is numbed first. Most people feel pressure and small pricks rather than pain, and the appointment takes around an hour.

 

Who is not suitable? 

Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, anyone with an active scalp infection, and for PRP, anyone with a blood or platelet disorder or taking blood-thinning medication. Sudden patchy hair loss or scalp inflammation should be seen by your GP or a dermatologist first. We go through your full history before treatment.
