Our PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Scalp Support Treatment is a nurse-led service that uses your body’s own biological material as part of a personalised care plan focused on scalp health. A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is then applied to targeted areas of the scalp by a qualified Cosmetic Nurse.
This treatment is often chosen by clients looking to support scalp condition and overall hair vitality using a natural, minimally invasive approach.
What Is PRP Scalp Support?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Scalp Support is a cosmetic nurse-led treatment that uses a concentrated component of your own blood to support scalp condition and overall hair vitality. This minimally invasive procedure involves collecting a small blood sample, isolating platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and carefully applying it to targeted areas of the scalp.
PRP is an autologous treatment, meaning it uses your body’s own biological material. It is commonly selected by individuals looking to support scalp health and maintain the appearance of fuller, healthier-looking hair over time.
The Science Behind PRP for the Scalp
Platelets are small cellular fragments naturally present in your blood. They play an important role in tissue signalling and contain bioactive proteins and growth factors involved in normal repair processes.
When concentrated through centrifugation, PRP contains elevated levels of naturally occurring growth factors such as:
-
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)
-
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
-
Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)
-
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
These signalling molecules are involved in cellular communication pathways that support skin and follicle environments.
It’s important to note that outcomes can vary depending on:
-
Your natural platelet concentration
-
Overall health and nutritional status
-
Hormonal factors
-
Underlying scalp conditions
-
Lifestyle factors such as stress or smoking
Because PRP relies on your own biological profile, each treatment response is highly individual.
How It Works
The treatment begins with a small blood draw performed in-clinic. The sample is placed into a specialised centrifuge that separates and concentrates the platelet-rich plasma.
The PRP is then carefully delivered into selected areas of the scalp by a trained Cosmetic Registered Nurse using precise placement techniques. The entire appointment typically takes under an hour.
PRP Scalp Support is often incorporated into a personalised long-term maintenance plan focused on scalp optimisation and ongoing care.
