Understanding Hair Transplant
A hair transplant is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves transferring healthy hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to areas affected by hair loss. This procedure is commonly used to treat androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).
While transplanted hair follicles are generally resistant to hair loss, the non-transplanted hair surrounding them remains vulnerable to progressive thinning over time. This is why post-transplant care, including PRP therapy and ongoing hair maintenance treatments, is crucial.

Why PRP Therapy After a Hair Transplant?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a powerful natural clinically research backed treatment that's used in the NHS for:-
- Dentistry
- Wound healing
- Orthopaedics
- MSK (joints and tendent repair)
With ongoing research into burns, nerve damage and cartilage repair. Its also used for skin conditions and aging and hair loss.
PRP uses a concentration of growth factors and bioactive proteins from your own blood to stimulate healing and tissue regeneration. PRP therapy after a hair transplant can significantly improve the survival rate of transplanted follicles, promote hair growth, and maintain scalp health.
