Restore Your Hair With PRP Hair Treatment
Hair thinning and shedding can gradually affect both confidence and appearance. PRP hair treatment offers a non-surgical solution that uses your body’s natural healing response to support hair restoration. By concentrating growth factors from your own blood and delivering them to affected areas, PRP helps stimulate follicles, reduce shedding, and improve overall hair quality.

What is FUE Hair Transplant?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair transplant surgery. Individual follicular units, containing healthy hair follicles, are extracted from the donor area (typically the back and sides of the scalp) and meticulously transplanted to the recipient area (the bald areas or thinning areas). Unlike older methods that involved removing strips of scalp (FUT), FUE leaves minimal scarring, making it a preferred choice for many patients.
What Can FUE Hair Restoration Treat?
FUE hair transplant surgery can effectively address a variety of hair loss conditions, including:
- Male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia)
- Female pattern baldness
- Receding hairline
- Thinning hair
- A receding beard or mustache
- Eyebrow thinning
- Scalp scarring due to accidents or burns
What is PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy is an advanced treatment that uses platelets from your own blood to support tissue repair and regeneration. Platelets contain growth factors and proteins, including cytokines, which contribute to healing and rebuilding.
In hair restoration, this process is used to target thinning areas of the scalp and stimulate follicle activity, with the aim of improving hair growth, density, and quality in a natural, non-surgical way.
How PRP Works
PRP treatment starts with a blood sample taken from the arm. The sample is placed into PRP tubes and spun in a centrifuge to separate the blood into layers.
The platelet-rich layer is then prepared and injected into areas affected by hair loss. In some cases, derma roller treatment is used alongside PRP to create micro-punctures and improve absorption.
Sessions are typically carried out monthly, with a minimum of three sessions, and each session usually lasts about one hour.
How FUE Works
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a modern hair transplant technique designed to restore natural-looking hair. In this procedure, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, where hair is dense and resistant to thinning. These follicles are then meticulously implanted into areas experiencing hair loss or thinning, such as the hairline or crown.
FUE is minimally invasive and leaves no linear scar, making it a popular choice for those seeking a quicker recovery and more natural results. The process ensures that transplanted hair blends seamlessly with existing hair, offering a permanent solution to hair loss.
Benefits of PRP Hair Treatment
Non-Surgical Hair Restoration
PRP is ideal for patients who prefer a non-surgical approach to managing thinning and shedding.
Stimulates Natural Hair Regrowth
Platelet-derived growth factors help activate follicle repair and support healthier hair growth.
Improves Hair Thickness and Density
Treatment is designed to enhance overall hair quality for a fuller, stronger appearance.
Uses Your Body’s Own Healing Mechanisms
PRP relies on naturally occurring components from your own blood, reducing reliance on external substances.
Short, In-Clinic Sessions
Each treatment session generally takes around one hour, making it practical for regular scheduling.
Can Support Post-Transplant Results
PRP may also be used to promote transplanted hair growth and improve recovery outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time will I need to take off after my surgery?
For most cases, little or no time needs to be taken off. If time off is needed, then a week or so is more than enough. Hats can be worn 1 week after treatment in order to protect the grafts.
What is the best procedure for me?
First, take a look at our treatments and procedures section to get a feel of what each treatment entails. In-depth conversations will then be had at your consultation, where we will look into the best solution for you. Each case is different, and Dr. Saeed will work very closely with you to decide what’s best to do.
Is there any danger involved?
No. FUT & FUE are minor cosmetic surgery as well as one of the safest and most popular procedures performed. Our clinic environment provides you with skilled and experienced surgical and nursing staff with hospital standard equipment.
Are there any potential side effects?
The FUT method is an advanced cosmetic procedure that’s completely safe and doesn’t require any maintenance. The typical mild side effects that you can experience after this hair transplant process include swelling, redness, itching and a bit of pain. However, you can easily and quickly relieve the side effects through fast-acting prescriptions. Generally, from the very next day of the surgery, you can get back to your daily routine as usual.
Who can qualify for a FUT hair transplant?
In case you were wondering before you qualify for the FUT transplant, there are a couple of factors that we consider for a guarantee of exceptional results. Some of the most vital factors that will determine a successful FUT procedure include:
- Patients should have a genetically strong donor supply, i.e. a healthy donor region from where the strip unit will be extracted from.
- The scalp should be resistant to any potential autoimmune disorders that may occur. That’s because, in some cases, the immune system fails to respond positively as expected and instead attacks the body’s own cells. This leads to a condition where the hair cannot be extracted since the scalp is rendered contagious.
- Flexibility and stability of the scalp region from which the extraction would take place
- You should be free from DUPA: it is a condition whereby the hair does not occur in a distinct pattern and affects both the side and the back of the scalp.
I have hair loss but I do not wish to have surgery – are there any other options?
The cause of your hairloss should be determined to decide which treatment would be best for you – if you are experiencing hair loss and you do not know the cause of it, we would recommend for you to have a Trichology appointment – this includes a medical examination and during the consultation, Dr Saaed will examine your head and scalp and go through your medical and hair history to try to determine which factors are causing the hair loss such as lifestyle, hormonal imbalances, immune system and hair care. He can then speak to you in detail about treatment options (which could be medication, topical treatments or other non surgical treatments such as PRP).
