Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has become one of the most sought-after treatments in medical aesthetics, thanks to its ability to use the body’s own healing power to restore and rejuvenate. While PRP is often associated with skin treatments, it has proven particularly effective in supporting hair rejuvenation. At Skinox Aesthetics in Leicester, more clients are choosing PRP as a safe, natural, and non-surgical option for combatting hair thinning and loss. Let’s explore how this innovative treatment works and why it is considered a breakthrough for both men and women facing hair concerns.
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy involves using a small sample of the patient’s own blood, which is processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma rich in platelets and growth factors. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the scalp to stimulate natural healing and regeneration. Because the treatment uses your own biological material, it is safe, well tolerated, and free from synthetic substances.
How PRP Helps with Hair Rejuvenation
Hair thinning and loss can occur for many reasons, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, post-pregnancy factors, nutritional deficiencies, and medical conditions. PRP delivers growth factors directly to the hair follicles, encouraging them to repair, strengthen, and re-enter the active growth phase. This results in thicker hair shafts, improved density, and reduced shedding.
The Benefits of PRP for Hair Loss
– Stimulates natural hair growth without surgery
– Strengthens existing hair follicles
– Reduces hair shedding and thinning
– Improves scalp health and circulation
– Suitable for both men and women experiencing pattern baldness, post-pregnancy hair loss or stress-related thinning
The PRP Treatment Process
At Skinox Aesthetics Leicester, the PRP process begins with a consultation to assess your hair and overall suitability. During treatment, a small blood sample is taken and processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This is then injected into key areas of the scalp using fine needles. The procedure takes around 45 minutes in total and involves minimal discomfort.
When Will I See Results?
Hair restoration with PRP is a gradual process, as it works with your body’s natural growth cycle. Most clients notice an improvement in hair quality and reduced shedding within two to three months, with visible thickening and regrowth after several sessions. For optimal results, a course of treatments is usually recommended, followed by maintenance sessions.
Is PRP Therapy Safe?
Yes. Because PRP uses your own blood plasma, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low. At Skinox Aesthetics, all procedures are carried out by qualified medical professionals in a clinical setting. Side effects are typically limited to mild redness, tenderness, or swelling at the injection sites, which usually resolve within 24–48 hours.
PRP for Skin Rejuvenation
While PRP is highly effective for hair, it is also widely used in skin rejuvenation. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, PRP can help reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, and promote a fresher, more youthful appearance. Some clients choose to combine PRP for hair and skin as part of a holistic rejuvenation plan.

Aftercare and Maintenance
After PRP treatment, we recommend avoiding strenuous activity, alcohol, and hair colouring for 24–48 hours. Clients should also avoid direct sun exposure on the scalp for a few days. A course of three to six sessions is typically advised, with maintenance sessions every six to twelve months to sustain results.
Long-Term Benefits of PRP
PRP therapy offers a natural and long-lasting solution for hair thinning. Unlike temporary fixes, PRP addresses the underlying health of the hair follicles, encouraging them to function more effectively over time. With regular maintenance, many clients enjoy thicker, healthier hair and improved confidence.
