Hair thinning and hair loss can affect confidence and self-esteem, but modern treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma, Platelet-Rich Fibrin and Exosomes hair loss treatments offer safe, effective solutions. These therapies use growth factors to stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp health, and promote natural hair regrowth.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting it into the scalp.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin Therapy is a newer version that produces a richer, more sustained release of growth factors, potentially providing even better results for thinning hair. Both treatments are considered effective hair loss treatments for men and women experiencing hair thinning, shedding, or early pattern baldness.

Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles naturally released by stem cells. They are packed with powerful growth factors, proteins, and genetic material that help promote cell communication and tissue repair. When applied to the scalp through microinjections or in combination with microneedling, exosomes deliver these growth factors directly to the hair follicles. This helps stimulate dormant follicles, reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and encourage new hair growth.

To ensure you get the most from your treatment, proper pre- and post-treatment care is essential.

Pre-Treatment Instructions for Hair Loss Therapies

Proper preparation before your hair loss session can enhance results and minimise side effects:

Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (Ibuprofen, Motrin, Naproxen, Aleve) for at least 3 days before your appointment to support optimal healing.
Discontinue blood-thinning supplements or medications (multivitamins, Vitamin E/A, Fish Oil, Aspirin) one week prior, unless prescribed for medical reasons—consult our staff if unsure.
Avoid alcohol and smoking for 3 days before your treatment.
Stay hydrated by increasing fluid intake the day before and the day of your procedure.
Eat a normal meal before your appointment and consider a light snack to maintain energy.
Wash your hair the morning of your session for a clean scalp.
Continue essential supplements like iron and Vitamin D unless advised otherwise.
Reschedule if unwell: If you have a fever, cold, or flu, please postpone your appointment.

Post-Treatment Care for Hair Loss Therapy

Following your hair loss treatment, proper aftercare is crucial for optimal hair regrowth:

Mild soreness or swelling of the scalp may occur for a few days.
Healing from microneedling typically takes about 5 days. Do not pick at scabs.
Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (Ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve, Naproxen, Aspirin, steroidal or non-steroidal) for 5–7 days as they can reduce collagen production. Use paracetamol (Panadol) for pain relief if needed.
Avoid alcohol and smoking for 3 days to promote healing.
Do not touch, press, rub, or manipulate the treated area for at least 4 hours post-treatment.
Avoid washing your hair for the first 4 hours after treatment.
Combine our hair lotion and shampoo for best results
Optional: gentle dermarolling with hair serum we recommend for 2–3 minutes daily can support hair regrowth by stimulating blood flow to follicles.

Before & After

Which treatment is Right for You?

Everyone’s hair loss situation is unique. Factors such as the degree of hair thinning, age, overall health, and underlying causes of hair loss can influence which treatment is most effective.

✅ Professional Consultation is Key: Always consult with a qualified health professional or cosmetic specialist to discuss your hair loss concerns. They can recommend the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Hair Loss Treatments

1. How many sessions will I need?

Most clients need a series of 6-12 treatments spaced about 2–4 weeks apart for optimal results. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months are often recommended to sustain hair growth.

2. When will I see results?

Hair regrowth is a gradual process. Most people notice reduced shedding within 1-2 months and visible improvements in thickness and density after 3–6 months.

3. Who is a good candidate for hair loss treatment?

Hair loss treatment is most effective for people with early-to-moderate hair thinning. It may not be suitable for those with complete baldness or advanced hair loss. A professional consultation will determine if you’re a candidate.

5. Are there any risks or side effects?

Since hair loss use either internal or external growth factors, risks are minimal. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness on the scalp, which typically resolves within a few days.

6. Can I use Minoxidil with hair loss treatments?

Yes. Minoxidil (commonly known as Regaine/Rogaine) can be safely combined with hair loss treatments for enhanced results. Minoxidil improves blood flow to hair follicles, while the treatment delivers growth factors directly into the scalp. Together, they may provide a stronger outcome for hair regrowth. Always follow your doctor’s or nurse’s guidance on when to resume topical treatments after your session.
