PRP Hair Treatment
An introduction to PRP Treatment
- What is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma and is a cutting-edge and natural solution for a range of health and aesthetic concerns. PRP utilizes your body's own healing power by extracting a concentrated solution of platelets and growth factors from your blood, which is then used to promote tissue regeneration, stimulate collagen production, and enhance hair regrowth. At Cooper Beauty, we're proud to offer PRP as a versatile and effective option for hair restoration.
- How PRP Works:
The process begins with a simple blood draw, where a small sample is taken from your arm. This sample is then processed in a centrifuge machine to separate and concentrate the platelets and growth factors, creating the PRP serum.
Once prepared, the PRP serum is precisely injected into the targeted area, where it works its magic. The platelets and growth factors in PRP stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and the regeneration of cells. This natural healing process not only improves the appearance of your skin but also promotes hair growth and aids in the overall healing of damaged tissues.
PRP is a safe and minimally invasive procedure, making it an excellent choice for those seeking natural and lasting results without the need for extensive downtime.
PRP Treatment Process
- Consultation
Your journey will begin with an in-depth consultation at Cooper Beauty. During this initial meeting, our experienced team will assess your specific hair loss concerns, medical history and treatment goals. We will work closely with you to create a personalized plan tailored to your needs. Our goal is to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the process and expected outcomes, addressing any questions or concerns you may have.
- Procedure
On the day of your PRP treatment, our team will guide you through a simple and minimally invasive procedure. First, a small sample of your blood will be drawn, just like a routine blood test. This sample is then processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, creating the PRP serum.
Once prepared, the PRP serum is meticulously injected into the areas of your scalp where hair regrowth is desired. These injections are strategically administered to stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve hair thickness, and enhance overall hair quality. The entire procedure is performed with precision and care, ensuring your comfort throughout.
- Recovery & Aftercare
One of the significant advantages of PRP for hair regrowth is its minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their regular activities immediately after treatment. Some mild swelling or redness at the injection sites may occur, but it typically subsides within a few hours to a day. Some activities are not recommended after treatment, but we can run through these in depth with you during your initial consultation.
It's essential to follow any aftercare instructions provided by our team. While individual responses to PRP may vary, many clients start to notice improved hair density, thickness, and quality within a few months. Continued progress can be seen over time as the natural healing process takes effect, resulting in a fuller and healthier head of hair. We're here to support you at every step of your hair regrowth journey, ensuring you achieve the results you desire.

- Is PRP Safe?:
PRP is considered a safe solution for hair regrowth. A minimally invasive and natural procedure, it utilizes your body's own blood components, making it a low-risk option for various medical and cosmetic purposes. The safety of PRP treatment lies in its use of your own blood, significantly reducing the risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects
- How Many Sessions Are Needed?
The number of PRP sessions required for optimal hair regrowth varies from person to person and depends on individual factors, including the extent of hair loss and personal treatment goals. In most cases, a series of PRP sessions is recommended, typically spaced a few weeks apart.
- Is PRP Painful?
PRP Treatment is generally well-tolerated and minimally uncomfortable for most individuals. During the procedure, a small sample of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test and the PRP serum is prepared from this sample. The discomfort associated with the PRP injections themselves is typically mild and brief. Patients may experience sensations such as slight pressure, a pinching feeling, or mild stinging at the injection sites. However, any discomfort is usually well-managed and temporary. Topical numbing agents can be applied before the procedure to enhance comfort.
- Do I need time off work?
One of the significant advantages of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment for hair regrowth is its minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure. While some individuals may experience mild redness, swelling, or slight discomfort at the injection sites, these effects are typically temporary and resolve within a few hours to a day.
- How long does it take to see results from PRP for hair restoration?
The timeline for seeing results from PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment for hair restoration can vary from person to person. Typically, results are not immediate, as the process involves stimulating dormant hair follicles and promoting hair growth naturally.
Many clients begin to notice improvements in their hair's thickness, density, and overall quality within a few months after starting PRP sessions. However, it's essential to understand that individual responses to treatment may vary. Some individuals may experience more rapid results, while others may require additional time to observe significant changes.
For the best outcome, consistency in attending your recommended PRP sessions is crucial. Follow-up treatments are advised as part of your personalised treatment plan to maintain and enhance the results achieved.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment for hair loss is generally well-tolerated with minimal risk of adverse effects. Since PRP uses your own blood components, the likelihood of allergic reactions or significant side effects is significantly reduced. As with any medical or cosmetic procedure, there are some potential side effects, although they are typically mild and temporary
- Is PRP a suitable treatment for everyone experiencing hair loss?
PRP treatment is most suitable for individuals with certain types of hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia (common genetic hair loss) or hair thinning due to aging. It is less effective for individuals with complete baldness or extensive hair loss where the hair follicles are no longer active. Additionally, the effectiveness of PRP can be influenced by individual factors such as age, the underlying cause of hair loss, and the stage of hair loss. It's essential to undergo a thorough consultation with our experienced team at Cooper Beauty & Wellbeing to determine if PRP is the right treatment for your specific needs.
- How long do the effects of PRP treatment last?
The duration of the effects of PRP treatment for hair regrowth can vary from person to person and is influenced by several factors. PRP is designed to stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve hair thickness, and enhance overall hair quality naturally. In many cases, the results of PRP treatment are long-lasting, and individuals may continue to enjoy improved hair density and quality for an extended period. However, it's important to understand that hair regrowth is an ongoing process, and individual responses may differ.
