Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is an advanced, regenerative treatment designed to support natural hair growth and restore optimal scalp health at a cellular level. Often referred to as a “bio-stimulatory” treatment, PRP harnesses the body’s own healing mechanisms to rejuvenate weakened or dormant hair follicles.
The process begins with a small blood sample, taken in clinic using precise venepuncture techniques. This sample is then carefully processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma—a concentrated component rich in growth factors and bioactive proteins. These powerful elements play a key role in tissue repair, collagen production, and cellular regeneration.
Once prepared, the PRP is strategically reintroduced into targeted areas of the scalp. This works to stimulate follicular activity, improve blood supply, prolong the hair growth (anagen) phase, and strengthen the integrity of existing hair. Over time, this creates a healthier scalp environment that is more supportive of consistent, resilient hair growth.
PRP is particularly beneficial for clients experiencing:
- Early to moderate hair thinning
- Androgenetic Alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss)
- Postpartum hair shedding
- Stress-related hair loss
- Hair weakening associated with hormonal imbalances, including conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Each treatment is carried out with a high level of clinical care, ensuring both safety and comfort throughout. As this is an autologous treatment (using your own biological material), the risk of adverse reaction is minimal, making it a well-tolerated and natural option for hair restoration. Sith Spa is fully registered with Healthcare Improvement Scotland, providing reassurance that all treatments are delivered in line with strict clinical standards and regulatory requirements.
For optimal results, PRP is typically recommended as a course of treatments, followed by maintenance sessions tailored to your individual response. It can also be combined with other therapies as part of a comprehensive, personalised treatment plan designed to address both internal and external factors affecting your hair and scalp.
Results develop progressively as the scalp environment improves. Clients often notice a reduction in hair shedding initially, followed by visible improvements in hair thickness, strength, and overall density over time.
At Sith Spa, PRP is not approached as a standalone treatment, but as part of a wider commitment to restoring balance, supporting long-term scalp health, and enhancing your natural hair with integrity and care.
