FAQ – Is PRP for hair growth painful?

PRP therapy is often perceived as uncomfortable, but in a clinical setting, patient comfort is carefully managed throughout the procedure 🩺 The process begins with a routine blood draw, followed by the preparation of platelet-rich plasma. Before any scalp treatment, a local anaesthetic technique known as a ring block is administered. This numbs the treatment area, ensuring that the PRP injections and microneedling are not felt. Most patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure. Mild scalp tenderness may be experienced the following day, particularly after microneedling, but this is typically short-lived and manageable. PRP remains the gold standard in non-surgical hair restoration, with direct bookings possible via our website.
