PRP treatment prepared from your own blood.
Noticing a wider part or less fullness? Growth Factors uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from your own blood and injected into selected scalp areas, with the aim of supporting hair growth in suitable patients.
Appointments take around 45 minutes at selected clinics and include a complimentary Cold Beam Laser session. Book your free Hair Check to find out whether Growth Factors is an option for you.
Growth Factors at a Glance
Prepared From Your Own Blood
Your blood sample is processed to prepare platelet-rich plasma containing concentrated platelets and their naturally occurring growth factors.
Focused on Existing Hair
An expert injects the prepared PRP into selected scalp areas. It is an option for thinning hair, subject to clinical assessment before treatment.
Around 45 Minutes
Appointments at selected clinics include a complimentary Cold Beam Laser session after the injections. Check availability and the recommended course at your consultation.
What Is Growth Factors PRP Treatment?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Plasma is the liquid part of blood, and platelets contain proteins called growth factors. A platelet-rich portion of your blood is prepared for injection into areas of scalp affected by thinning.
PRP may help improve hair growth in some women with hair thinning, including female pattern hair loss.
At Advanced Hair Studio, the first step is exploring your options. Medical assessment is required before PRP treatment to establish whether it is appropriate for you.
Could PRP Suit Your Hair Thinning?
If you have noticed gradual thinning around your part or crown, Growth Factors may be an option to discuss. PRP is generally considered when hair remains, rather than to restore a completely bald area.
Women can experience hair loss for different reasons. Our expert will consider how your hair has changed, your scalp condition, medical history and current treatments before recommending an approach.
Sudden shedding, patchy loss or scalp irritation needs medical assessment. Hair changes after childbirth or illness may follow a different course from female pattern hair loss, so PRP should not be assumed to be the right treatment.
You don’t need to choose a treatment before speaking with us. Start with a Hair Check to compare your options and find out what assessment is needed.
What Happens During a Growth Factors Appointment?
Growth Factors appointments take around 45 minutes and are available at selected Advanced Hair clinics. Your proposed course and appointment spacing are discussed during consultation.
Step 1: A Blood Sample
A sample is taken from your arm and collected in a preparation tube, in a process similar to a blood test.
Step 2: PRP Preparation
The sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate its components and prepare the platelet-rich plasma.
Step 3: Scalp Injections
An expert injects the prepared PRP into selected areas of your scalp. Your treating clinician can explain comfort measures, risks and aftercare before you proceed.
Step 4: Included Laser Session
The appointment includes a complimentary Cold Beam Laser session after the injections. Ask how this fits into your individual treatment plan.

Your Appointments and Aftercare
Before starting, talk through the recommended number of appointments and how far apart they will be. Your clinician can explain progress reviews and whether ongoing treatment may be needed. Results cannot be judged from a single appointment.
Your treating expert will explain aftercare and what to expect after injections. Ask about washing and styling your hair, exercise and any existing scalp treatments so you can plan around appointments. Follow the instructions provided for your procedure.

PRP Hair Treatment for Women FAQs
Is Growth Factors the same as PRP hair treatment?
Growth Factors is our PRP hair treatment program. A sample of your blood is processed to prepare platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into selected areas of your scalp.
Can PRP help with female pattern hair loss?
PRP may help some women with female pattern hair loss, but it is not suitable for every person or every cause of thinning. It does not create new follicles or guarantee regrowth. Medical assessment is needed to discuss whether it is worth considering for you.
Is PRP suitable for hair changes after childbirth or around menopause?
The cause of your hair changes needs assessment first. Tell our expert if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if shedding began after childbirth or another health change. Don’t assume PRP is suitable based on timing alone, and it doesn’t correct an underlying hormone imbalance.
How many sessions will I need, and when might I notice a change?
The proposed number and spacing of sessions depend on your assessment. Any improvement takes time; your expert will discuss a review schedule and whether maintenance may be needed.
Do PRP scalp injections hurt, and are there risks?
Blood collection and scalp injections can cause discomfort. Injection-site pain and infection are possible even though the PRP comes from your own blood. Discuss relevant risks, comfort measures and aftercare with your treating expert before proceeding.
Can I wash or colour my hair after treatment?
Follow your clinician’s aftercare advice on washing, styling, colouring and scalp products. Check when you can return to your usual routine, as the timing depends on the procedure and instructions given to you.
Is laser treatment included, and can I combine PRP with other services?
A complimentary Cold Beam Laser session follows the Growth Factors injections. This is separate from a full Advanced Laser Therapy program. Medical assessment is needed before adding other treatments; confirm what is proposed, why and any additional cost.
Where is Growth Factors available, and how do I get a quote?
Growth Factors is offered at selected Advanced Hair clinics. Contact our team to confirm local availability, the assessment pathway and a quote for your proposed course. Your free Hair Check is an initial step; PRP treatment and any associated fees are discussed separately.
