Harnessing the Power of Platelets: PRP for Hair Treatment
Losing hair—whether thinning at the crown, receding at the temples, or noticing widening parts—can affect confidence and self-esteem. At Rock Health Clinic, located in the heart of Birmingham, we offer cutting-edge Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to help men and women stimulate natural hair regrowth without surgery. As a pharmacist-led regenerative clinic, we combine medical expertise with warm, friendly care to deliver lasting, visible results. Read on to find how PRP works, what it can achieve, and how our personalised treatment plans can restore your hair and your confidence.
How PRP Works for Hair Restoration
How PRP Scalp Therapy Stimulates Hair Growth
When you choose PRP for hair loss, you are harnessing your body’s own healing and growth mechanisms. The treatment includes:
1. Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn from you in-clinic—similar to routine testing.
2. Centrifugation: We process the sample to concentrate platelets and growth factors in a plasma layer (PRP).
3. Scalp Injections: Using fine needles along with a T -bar massager, the PRP is injected into areas of hair thinning or loss—such as the crown, temples, or hairline.
4. Follicle Activation: The growth factors stimulate dormant or weakened follicles, boost blood flow and cell renewal, and promote stronger, thicker hair.
5. Regrowth Phase: Over the next 4-12 weeks you’ll begin to notice new hair growth, improved thickness, and healthier scalp condition.
This minimally invasive, non-surgical protocol offers an effective alternative to transplants—ideal for early hair loss, thinning areas or as a post-transplant enhancement.
Why Choose PRP at Rock Health Clinic?
Why Our Birmingham Clinic Delivers Results
Pharmacist-led care: Our lead clinician is a qualified pharmacist specialising in regenerative therapies—ensuring every treatment adheres to clinical standards.
State-of-the-art clinic: Located in Birmingham city centre, our modern, hygienic environment and private treatment rooms guarantee your comfort and confidentiality.
Tailored treatment plans: We assess your hair loss pattern (male/female pattern, diffuse thinning, post-transplant), lifestyle factors, and goals so you receive a personalised plan—often combining PRP with topical agents or maintenance therapies.
Minimal downtime: Most clients resume normal activity straight away. You’ll experience mild scalp sensitisation at most.
Transparent costs & support: We provide clear pricing, documented before-and-after results, and ongoing follow-up so you can track progress with confidence.
What PRP Can Achieve?
Expected Outcomes & Realistic Results
With commitment to the full treatment course, clients typically experience:
Noticeably stronger and thicker hair in treated zones.
Improved density and fullness, especially in early thinning areas such as the crown or temples.
Reduced hair shedding and healthier scalp condition (less itch, less burning, fewer “dystrophic” hairs).
Enhancement of existing hair follicles—valuable especially for post-hair transplant clients seeking “extra growth”.
Please note: individual results vary depending on age, hair loss stage, maintenance programme and overall health.
PRP works best when initiated early — neglected, advanced bald patches (completely non-viable follicles) may not respond as robustly.
Ideal Candidates & When PRP May Not Be Suitable
Are You the Right Fit?
Good candidates for PRP:
Men and women in early to moderate hair loss / thinning.
Clients with visible follicles and some “miniaturised” hairs still present.
Post-hair transplant patients seeking enhanced results.
Those looking to avoid surgery or lengthy downtime.
When PRP may not be the ideal option:
Fully bald regions with no visible follicle activity.
Those unwilling/unable to follow a multi-session plan + maintenance.
Medical contraindications (active scalp infection, uncontrolled diabetes, blood-clotting disorders) — these will be assessed at consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How soon will I see results from PRP?
Results typically appear after 8-12 weeks. You may notice less shedding at 4 weeks, new hair growth at 8–12 weeks, and fuller thickness at 6-9 months.
Q2: Is PRP painful?
We apply a T bar massager when injecting. Most clients report only mild-moderate pressure or tingling during injections.
Q3: How many sessions are needed?
A standard course is 5-6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments may be recommended annually.
Q4: Can men and women both benefit?
Yes — PRP works for male pattern baldness, female diffuse thinning and post-surgical regrowth when follicles remain active.
Q5: Are the results permanent?
Results vary. PRP restores and strengthens hair, but natural hair-loss processes continue. Maintenance and a healthy lifestyle maximise longevity.
Q6: What if I’m post-hair transplant?
Many clients use PRP as a complementary treatment after transplant surgery to boost follicle survival and growth.
Q7: Are there any side-effects?
Side-effects are minimal—mild swelling, temporary scalp redness or sensitivity. Serious complications are rare when treatment is performed in a certified clinic.
