The Science

What is PRP, exactly?

An advanced concentration of your own platelets and growth factors — injected to encourage your body’s natural repair.

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma.

A small sample of blood is collected and processed using specialised equipment to concentrate platelets and growth factors. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the treatment area.

Because PRP is produced from your own blood, it is generally well tolerated and carries minimal risk of allergic reaction.

Growth factors help support

  • Tissue repair
  • Collagen production
  • Cellular regeneration
  • Blood vessel formation
  • Hair follicle health
  • Recovery from injury

PRP for Hair Restoration

Restore confidence. Support healthier hair growth.

Hair thinning affects both men and women and can impact confidence at any age. PRP aims to stimulate weakened hair follicles and improve scalp health, helping support:

  • Increased hair density
  • Reduced hair shedding
  • Improved hair thickness
  • Healthier scalp circulation
  • Reduced scalp visibility

PRP may be suitable for

  • Male pattern hair loss
  • Female pattern hair loss
  • Diffuse hair thinning
  • Early-stage hair loss
  • Non-surgical treatment seekers

Individual results vary. Most patients benefit from a structured treatment program.

PRP for Skin Rejuvenation

Rejuvenate your skin naturally.

PRP stimulates collagen production and tissue renewal to improve skin quality and support a fresher, healthier appearance. Rather than simply masking signs of ageing, PRP works by encouraging the skin’s natural regenerative processes.

Potential benefits may include

  • Improved skin texture
  • Improved skin tone
  • Enhanced skin radiance
  • Reduction in fine lines
  • Increased collagen production
  • Improved skin elasticity

May also support the appearance of

  • Acne scarring
  • Surgical scars
  • Stretch marks
  • Pigmentation concerns
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Age-related skin changes

Results vary between individuals and depend on factors including age, skin condition, treatment plan, and lifestyle factors.

PRP for Knee Osteoarthritis

A non-surgical option for knee pain.

Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. PRP therapy is increasingly used to help patients manage symptoms and maintain activity levels by supporting the body’s natural healing response within the joint.

Potential benefits may include

  • Reduced knee pain
  • Improved joint function
  • Improved walking tolerance
  • Greater participation in exercise & daily activities
  • Improved quality of life

PRP may be considered for individuals with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis who are seeking alternatives to long-term medication use or wish to delay more invasive interventions.

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Rotator cuff tendinopathy
