What People Say:
"Beyond excellent every time, I wish I could give 10 stars. I had PRP for my hair and face with Ita. This is my 3rd PRP for my hair, I have loads of new hairs and I’m so impressed with the results. I 100% recommend this treatment. Ita is such a lovely lady, so kind and caring and the ultimate professional. She does not try to up - sell anything to you and because of that I totally trust her. She will only perform treatments she genuinely thinks will help with your concerns. Honestly this lady is an angel at her job I will never go anywhere other than Ita in the Otto Clinic".

How Does PRP For Hair Work?
The process of Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is to take a minimal amount of the patients' own blood and pass it through a filtration process to separate the platelets from the blood - the resulting plasma now contains up to 10 times the number of platelets as would be found in a similar sample of blood. This plasma also contains a high concentration of growth factors which will be injected back into the inactive hair follicles. The combination of platelets and growth factors in high concentration pack a powerful punch and immediately kickstart the body's natural repair process. The injected plasma prompts inactive or newly implanted hair follicles to enter a new growth phase with the following results:
-
stimulation of new hair growth
-
better blood circulation to the hair follicle
-
thicker hair
-
better quality of hair as it improves wispy hairs
PRP injections are a natural solution for hair loss with little to no risk of allergic reaction and none of the downtime or risks associated with surgery. The beauty of the PRP treatment is that it uses the body’s natural resources to stimulate growth and reduce hair loss. Moreover, the procedure is a simple in-clinic treatment with no downtime.
When To Consider PRP?
PRP injections for hair loss can be considered in a variety of circumstances. Some of the reasons a patient might consider this treatment include:
-
Treatments such as pills, liquids and steroids have not been effective
-
Patient wishes to avoid hair surgery or try a minimally invasive and/or low-risk method first
-
In cases where there is significant thinning but follicles still evident
-
PRP is being used in combination with surgery to enhance post-surgical growth
-
Treatment of androgenetic alopecia (hereditary hair thinning)
-
Treatment of traction alopecia (caused by too-tight hairstyles (e.g. ponytail) that pull hair out)
-
Surgery is too expensive: in this case PRP is a low-cost first option
It is important to note that PRP injections work best for patients who have only recently begun to lose hair. The treatment can not regrow hair when there is no hair follicle present.
