Hair loss can begin for many reasons, and understanding the cause is key to guiding the right care 🌿 Genetics and family history are major factors in pattern hair loss for both men and women. Hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, certain medications and scalp inflammation can also disrupt the normal growth cycle.

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.
Did you know the cooler months can be ideal for a hair transplant? Lower temperatures reduce sweating, which helps prevent bacterial build-up and keeps the scalp clean during the initial healing phase. Less sun exposure also minimises UV-related irritation, and supports optimal graft survival. Clinically, hair follicles are more sensitive to heat and inflammation in the first 2–3 weeks post-surgery, so milder conditions can improve recovery outcomes. More questions?
