Platelet Rich Plasma for hair thinning is an advanced, non-surgical treatment that uses your body’s own natural growth factors to stimulate hair growth and improve the health of your scalp.
This treatment is available at River Medical Dublin and River Medical Cork.
Book NowPlatelet Rich Plasma involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this plasma into the scalp where hair thinning has occurred. The growth factors in Platelet Rich Plasma help to revitalize hair follicles, promoting hair growth and increasing hair thickness.
Platelet Rich Plasma for hair thinning is a safe, effective, and natural solution for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning hair, particularly in areas like the crown, temples, or along the hairline. It is suitable for both men and women and offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional hair restoration methods.
The Platelet Rich Plasma procedure for hair thinning begins with a thorough consultation with one of our specialists. During this consultation, we will assess the extent of your hair thinning or loss, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.
On the day of the procedure, a small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm. This blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components, creating a concentrated serum full of growth factors.
Once the plasma is prepared, the treated areas of your scalp will be numbed to ensure comfort during the procedure. The Platelet Rich Plasma serum will then be injected into the scalp using fine needles. The procedure typically takes between 30-45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
After the Platelet Rich Plasma treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness on the scalp, which is normal and should subside within a few hours to a few days. To ensure the best results and promote healing, we recommend the following aftercare:
While the initial effects of Platelet Rich Plasma may not be immediately visible, most patients start seeing improvements in hair thickness and density within 3-6 months. The full results can take up to 9 months to become apparent as the hair follicles continue to grow and strengthen. For optimal results, ongoing treatments every 3-6 months are often recommended.

“I had a prp treatment today in the clinic with Ellen, as this was my first aesthetic treatment, I was nervous about the process but Ellen completely put me at ease the moment I walked through the door. She explained everything to me thoroughly in a way I could understand and was extremely professional throughout the treatment. I cannot recommend Ellen and river medical enough and I am looking forward to continuing my treatments”
