PRP Hair Restoration

About this treatment

PRP Hair Restoration Cardiff | Sebastian Rose Medical Aesthetics PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is the most extensively studied non-surgical hair restoration treatment in the world — and the gold standard against which all newer hair loss treatments are measured. At Sebastian Rose in Cardiff, it is administered exclusively by qualified medical professionals. HOW IT WORKS A small sample of your own blood is taken and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma — a concentration of powerful growth factors including PDGF, VEGF and IGF-1. These are injected directly into the scalp at the sites of thinning or loss. Once delivered, they stimulate blood supply to dormant hair follicles, reduce scalp inflammation, strengthen hair shafts and extend the natural growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle — triggering genuine biological hair restoration from within. WHAT DOES IT TREAT? - Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) - Female pattern hair thinning - Stress-related and hormonal hair loss - Diffuse thinning across the scalp - Receding hairline (early to moderate) - Post-partum hair loss - Thinning at the crown or parting CLINICALLY PROVEN Multiple large-scale meta-analyses confirm PRP significantly improves hair density and thickness. A 2025 clinical trial confirmed PRP combined with scalp microneedling increases hair density by approximately 30% after 12 weeks. Results are cumulative — the full course of treatment is essential for best outcome. YOUR TREATMENT PROTOCOL → Initial course: 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart → Maintenance: single sessions every 6 months to sustain and build on results → Duration per session: 30–45 minutes → Downtime: none — return to normal activities same day (Note that maintenance sessions are only for patients who have undergone the full 3 session protocol with us previously, and are now looking to maintain their results.)
