Hair Restauration

Restore, regrow, and maintain your hair

Hair loss and hair thinning are an unavoidable reality for most at some point in their lives. An estimated 8 million women in the UK suffer from alopecia and two-thirds of all men are eventually affected by male pattern baldness, meaning hair loss is common. A lot of those affected can feel insecure about their hair, with many looking for alternatives to combat hair loss (including treatments that have negative side effects and do more damage than good!) A treatment that not many are familiar with is PRP and i-PRF. This revolutionary procedure uses the body’s own resources meaning no added chemicals, biological agents and transformative results!

Mesotherapy is a non-invasive treatment which tackles skin and hair issues while also going hand-in-hand with other treatments such as PRP/i-PRF. Because mesotherapy involves using a very fine needle to inject a scientifically customised blend of collagen-stimulating vitamins just below the skin’s surface, it is the perfect complementary treatment for PRP/i-PRF hair restorative treatments. Our aestheticians wholeheartedly believe that these two treatments are one of the best, if not THE best, treatments to get for hair rejuvenation. During combined PRP/iPRF and mesotherapy treatment, your own platelets from a sample of your blood are used with small amounts of hyaluronic acid and a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids. These are then injected into the targeted areas of the skin.

There are many reasons why someone would struggle with hair loss. The outdated idea that hair loss only happens to men of a certain age is incorrect as many people get hair loss and thinning from all different ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, etc. Factors like genetics, medication, hormonal changes and imbalances, medical conditions, diet, stress, menopause, vitamin deficiencies, the ageing process, etc. are all reasons as to why this happens. The hair follicle is one of the few tissues in the body that can regenerate itself, thanks to cells known as adult stem cells. PRP/i-PRF recruits growth factors in the chosen area to aid in healing and allowing the regenerative cells to successfully do their job. PRP and i-PRF are, quite possibly, the best treatments to tackle hair loss and thinning and have transformative results. You will start to feel like yourself again in no time!

HAIR LOSS IN WOMEN AND MEN

While most people associate hair loss as an ageing process in men, this is not the case. Recent NHS research has found that an estimated 6.5 million men in the UK will deal with significant hair loss. By the age of 50, 85% of men will have significantly thinner hair. However, according to the NHS, an estimated 8 million women will struggle with significant hair loss by the age of 50 and more than 60% of all women in the UK will experience hair loss at some point in their lives starting as early as the teenage years. Despite this newfound research, the preventative hair loss industry primarily focuses on men.

Unfortunately, there is a social stigma for women when it comes to hair thinning and loss which means women tend to keep quiet about it. There are many factors for hair loss in general but there are a lot more for women in particular.

Factors like stress, physical trauma, hereditary, diet and lifestyle, vitamin deficiencies, illnesses, and ageing are reasoning for hair loss in everyone however, hormonal imbalances, postpartum stress, dieting and eating disorders, medications, thyroid abnormalities, menopause, forms of contraception, harsh hairstyles affect women. Although there isn’t much research on the link between preservatives and hair loss (especially for women), it is suggested that some preservatives in food and daily products can actually cause hair loss. In an issue that can feel so isolating, it is important that we come together to break the stigma that hair loss is not a women’s issue and tackle hair loss in everyone, regardless of gender.

PRM “STEPS”

PREVENTION (HAIR LOSS) • RESTORATION (HAIR) • MAINTENANCE (SCALP)

To get rid of toxins clogging the follicles, steam will be used to open the pores which then allows an exfoliating blend of acids to cleanse the scalp, breaking down any leftover buildup whilst stimulating blood circulation.

All clients for hair rejuvenation will benefit from hair regrowth physical stimulation by directly using massage techniques on the head, either with hands or head massage tools, or for even better blood circulation and results, a full body massage. If you don’t have time to get these done at our salon, then simple stimulation techniques can be done at home with your own hands. We recommend doing these scalp massages yourself before coming to any of your hair restoration appointments.

Getting a hair restoration treatment done is the most effective way to tackle hair loss. We offer and recommend PRP/i-PRF with microneedling as a natural nutrition solution, Direct Vitamin Supplementation on the target area to diminish any deficiencies you may have, Additional Solution injected directly on the treatment area which consists of hyaluronic acid, amino acids, and vitamins, and also a Beauty injection for body and hair health and extra supplementation to ensure body and hair health upkeep is okay. We also offer High Frequency as an additional mechanical stimulation treatment which also positively impacts general upkeep of the head and body.

You can take supplements at home in the form of tablets, continuing physical stimulation (head massages), increased water intake, general lifestyle improvements (stopping smoking, walking and exercise to increase blood circulation, improved diet including vitamin B, vitamin C, and vitamin K), contacting doctors or GP about vitamin and/or dietary supplements, coming to our clinic for maintenance treatments.

Mesotherapy - Skin Booster

This skin scalp booster is a subgenre of mesotherapy to increase nutrition and hydration in the skin scalp and can speed up your results whilst making them longer lasting too. The skin scalp Mesotherapy-booster is favoured for its a way of instantly restoring nutrition, hydration and plumpness in the injected site.

Vitamins Supplement Injections

Do you know glutathione supplement injection is good to control melamine in the body, lighting skin, etc.

Vitamin D also promotes skin cell growth and repair which helps prevent premature ageing and unwanted skin blemishes.

Vitamin C is favoured for skin health as it prevents sun damage, brightens and evens skin tone, and improves the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, premature ageing and acne.

When it comes to the tubes that are used for PRP/i-PRF treatments, some blood collection and blood test tubes are used but this is not ideal for a treatment like PRP/iPRF. Blood collection is one of the first steps in a PRP/iPRF treatment which is why some practitioners use phlebotomy tubes (it is the same step as a blood test, which is what those phlebotomy tubes are made for). Your aesthetician should always have your best interest at heart, therefore, it is much more effective and safer to use an extra sterilised and properly packaged device specified for PRP/i-PRF treatments.

Because the blood that is extracted from your body is being put back in as platelet-rich plasma, the apparatus that is used should be specialised and sterilised. That is why we use Universal PRP/i-PRF tubes which have a triple sterilised process and double packaging to ensure the cleanliness and success of your treatment is at the highest possible standard. They are also pyrogen-free meaning there are no bad microorganisms nor any illness and fevercausing substances that have come into contact before being used in your session.

The steps involved in iPRF therapy are:

Step 1: Collect the patient’s own blood. The collection is virtually identical process giving blood for a blood test, with a collection needle inserted into a vein in the arm and the blood captured in a small vial.

Step 2: Centrifuge the blood. A centrifuge is a device that spins at high speeds. This action physically separates the solid and liquid parts of the blood: red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), platelets (thrombocytes), and plasma (liquid).

Step 3: Process and collect the platelets. Regular blood contains about 200,000 platelets per milliliter, while platelet-rich plasma contains as much as five times that amount. The resulting three to seven milliliters of platelet-rich plasma will be collected in a syringe, to be administered immediately.

Step 4: Inject the PRP into the desired site. The final syringe of platelet-rich plasma will contain approximately 1-2 teaspoons of fluid. iPRF will be injected into the proper location (body face or scalp) desired by patient previously discussed on consultation.

Both PRP and i-PRF contain healing and regenerative growth factors.

i-PRF is more concentrated per microliter Contains more platelets, in addiction to leukocytes and mesenchymal stem Cell, generally I prefer to use for a smaller scale Área.

PRP As the platelets are inactive due the anti-coagulant, I prefer to use for a larger scale area and treatments that require more volume such as biofiller ( can also make biofiller with PPP).

Another difference between PRP and i-PRF is the speed of which they spin when they are getting processed. While both are processed in the same way, they produce different.

The big advantage to i-PRF comparing with PRP Is more effective plasma that lasts substantially longer when injeceticted or Microneedled into tissue making i-PRF biocompatible and effective.

It is imperative to thoroughly hydrate a week before your treatment as it allows the body to properly produce a good blood for the PRP/i-PRF procedure and reducing the likelihood of blood clotting.
Staying hydrated also increases the success of your results too.

Post-treatment

Aftercare

It is normal to experience bruising, redness, itching, swelling and/or soreness that may last from 2-5 days following your treatment. If you experience any pain or discomfort you may take Tylenol or other Acetaminophen-containing products as directed. You may have a bruise at the blood draw site. You may notice a tingling sensation while the cells are being activated. In rare cases, skin infection or reaction may occur, which is easily treated with an antibiotic or inflammatory. Please contact our office immediately if you notice unusual discomfort. Try to refrain from applying ice to the injected area as ice acts as an anti-inflammatory. Ice or cold compresses can be applied to reduce swelling if required. Continue to avoid aspirin, Advil, Motrin, Iburprofen, Naproxen, Voltaren and other anti-inflammatory medications for 3 days after your procedure (if possible try for 7 days). Avoid vigorous exercise, sun and heat exposure for at least 2 days after your treatment. Do not wet your hair for at least 3 hours after your treatment. For the first 3 days, use shampoo that is pH balanced. Do not use any hair products for at least 6 hours after your treatment. Be sure to take a hot shower and wash your hair that evening, after the treatment, to promote the effects of PRP. Avoid saunas, steam rooms, swimming for 2 days after your treatment. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking for 3 days after treatment. Smokers do not heal well and problems recur earlier and results may take longer. Avoid resuming Minoxidil (Formula 82M, Rogaine®), hair coloring, and straightening for 3 days. Continue increased water intake the first week after your treatment. Do not use blood thinning agents such as vitamin E, vitamin A, Ginko, Garlic, Flax, Cod Liver Oil, Essential Fatty Acids and least one week after your treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How is PRP / i-PRF used for hair restoration?
PRP injections can be effective in treating male/female pattern baldness and alopecia, both in preventing hair loss and promoting new hair growth. Hair loss is generally caused by a lack of cell renewal in the scalp – which makes PRP the perfect treatment as it stimulates the production of new healthy cells. It’s thought that PRP contains proteins that serve several main functions that are thought to help hair regrow; helping your blood to clot, and encouraging cell growth.

What happens during the PRP/i-PRF hair restoration procedure?
PRP is prepared from an extract of your own blood and is a short procedure, commonly lasting between around 60 minutes. At first, 30 – 60 ml of blood is drawn from your arm The blood is then placed in a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins and separates the platelets from the rest of the blood components 3 – 6 ml of platelet-rich plasma will then be extracted The concentrated and growth factor-concentrated platelets are injected into the scalp via micro injections.

When will I start seeing results?
The results of PRP/i-PRF can usually be seen between two to three months post treatment. Depending on your type of hair loss, and the extent of the loss, PRP for hair restoration is usually recommended as a course of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Then depending on your individual needs, a maintenance session once a year is usual and highly recommended.

Who is eligible for PRP/i-PRF hair restoration treatments?
Your practitioner will have a consultation with you to successfully determine whether you are eligible and what your desired outcomes from the session are. Those who are struggling with male and female patterned baldness, stress related hair loss, alopecia or other forms of hair loss and thinning are almost always eligible. PRP/i-PRF treatments work to preserve your hair and regrow dormant hair follicles.
