PRP Platelet Rich Plasma Adelaide

PRP treatments are performed by our qualified registered nurse (Amy) and, where required, under appropriate clinical oversight. You’ll be assessed prior to treatment to ensure PRP is suitable for your hair loss and goals.

PRP is generally considered low-risk because it uses your own blood, reducing the chance of allergic reaction. As with any injectable treatment, temporary redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness can occur. You’ll receive a full consent process and aftercare instructions.

Follow your pre-treatment instructions. Common guidance includes staying well-hydrated, avoiding alcohol and smoking, and avoiding blood-thinning medications/supplements only if medically appropriate and advised. Strong preparation supports a better PRP yield.

Aftercare is straightforward. You’ll be advised how to manage mild tenderness, what to avoid for 24–48 hours (often alcohol, smoking, heavy sweating, and certain medications), and when you can resume normal hair washing and styling. Follow your aftercare sheet closely for best results.

Results develop gradually. Some people notice early improvements in 6–12 weeks, with more visible changes in hair quality and density typically building over 3–6 months. Results vary depending on the type of hair loss and consistency of treatments.

Yes. PRP is commonly used to support hair health pre-transplant and to assist recovery and follicle support post-transplant. We’ll advise the best timing based on your surgical plan and healing stage.
