What Is PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is 
a non-surgical, natural hair 
restoration procedure that 
harnesses the healing power of your 
own blood.
• A small blood sample is drawn, 
processed to concentrate 
platelets, then injected into the 
scalp
• Improves blood supply to hair 
follicles and prolongs the active 
growth phase
• Helps slow down hair thinning 
progressively over time
Suitable for men and women with 
early to moderate hair thinning
How PRP Works: The Science
When PRP is injected into the scalp, it releases powerful growth factors that rejuvenate hair follicles at the cellular level.
Boosts Blood Flow Extends Growth Phase Regenerates Weak 
Follicles
Stimulates angiogenesis — new Encourages follicle cells to 
vessel growth around hair roots remain in the active anagen Strengthens damaged follicles 
— delivering more oxygen and (growth) phase longer and reduces premature cell 
nutrients death, resulting in thicker, 
healthier strands
