Understanding
PRP/PRF Hair Treatment
Are you weary of dealing with thinning hair? Discover our advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) therapy — a non-surgical treatment that uses growth factors from your own blood to help support hair follicles. Using the Arthrex ACP system, we deliver what’s technically classified as fluid PRF — an evolution beyond traditional PRP that releases growth factors more gradually for enhanced results.
We are thrilled to offer this pioneering, non-invasive approach to combating hair loss. By harnessing the healing power of your own body — without additives or anticoagulants — PRF may help support hair growth and scalp health.

PRP/PRF Hair Treatment
How PRP/PRF Hair Treatment works
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy is a minimally invasive treatment for hair loss that uses the body’s natural healing abilities. The procedure starts with a simple blood draw, which is then processed using our Arthrex ACP system to concentrate platelets and growth factors essential for tissue regeneration.
The key difference: Unlike traditional PRP, the Arthrex ACP system uses no anticoagulant. This allows your blood to form a natural fibrin matrix — a biological scaffold that releases growth factors slowly and sustainably rather than in a single burst. Research by Wang & Miron (2019) demonstrated that fluid PRF stimulates greater cell migration, proliferation, and collagen synthesis compared to standard PRP.
The prepared solution is injected into the scalp, targeting thinning areas. Research suggests PRF may help some people with thinning hair, and results vary. The treatment is well-tolerated with minimal downtime, making it an appealing option for naturally combating hair loss..
Powerful growth factors
Injecting plasma rich in growth factors directly into the scalp awakens dormant follicles and triggers regenerative processes. The fibrin matrix created by the Arthrex system holds these growth factors in place, releasing them over days to weeks — not hours. This sustained delivery leads to more pronounced improvements in hair thickness and density.

Benefits of our Arthrex ACP PRP machine
Our clinic uses the Arthrex ACP (Autologous Conditioned Plasma) system — medical-grade technology trusted in orthopaedic and sports medicine worldwide. The closed double-syringe design ensures maximum sterility, virtually eliminating contamination risk, while the neutral pH means a comfortable treatment with no stinging sensation. Crucially, no anticoagulant or additives are used — this is what creates the natural fibrin matrix that classifies it as fluid PRF rather than standard PRP, allowing for sustained growth factor release over days rather than hours. The system achieves 2-3x platelet concentration within the optimal range for stimulating hair follicles, with processing completed in just 5 minutes to preserve growth factor integrity. By excluding white blood cells and avoiding additives, the Arthrex ACP delivers a purer, more potent treatment than standard PRP methods..
PRP v PRF: What’s the Difference?
Traditional PRP uses an anticoagulant during processing, which delivers growth factors in a rapid burst before dissipating. Our Arthrex ACP system uses no anticoagulant, allowing the blood to form a natural fibrin matrix — a biological scaffold that holds growth factors in place and releases them gradually over days to weeks. This sustained delivery means better cell adhesion at the injection site and prolonged follicle stimulation. Research by Wang & Miron (2019) demonstrated that fluid PRF stimulates greater cell migration, proliferation, and collagen synthesis compared to standard PRP — which is why we’ve chosen this advanced approach for our patients..
Who can benefit from
PRP/PRF Hair Treatments?
Post-menopausal Women
Post-menopausal women facing hair thinning or loss can significantly benefit from PRF treatments. These treatments use the body’s natural healing factors to support the scalp.
Hormonal Imbalances
PRF therapy may be an option for women experiencing hormonal hair loss and thinning. By targeting the scalp at a cellular level, it promotes the regeneration of hair follicles affected by hormonal imbalances.
Pre Hair Transplant
Receiving PRF treatments prior to a hair transplant can considerably improve results. By maximising the health and strength of hair follicles, PRF may help support them before transplantation.
Post Hair Transplant
After a hair transplant, PRF therapy facilitates healing by promoting quicker recovery and extending the time before additional interventions might be necessary. It nourishes the scalp and newly transplanted follicles, encouraging healthy and robust growth.
PRP Testimonial
I was sceptical about PRF therapy after trying numerous hair loss treatments, but I’m glad I gave it a chance at the clinic. Within a few sessions, I started noticing some improvement in my hair’s thickness and even saw new growth in areas I thought were beyond help. The process was straightforward and more comfortable than I expected, with the team being really supportive throughout. It is not a quick fix, and results vary. PRF has made a significant difference in my hair and confidence with even my hairdresser commenting on the change.”
