PRP Hair Restoration
PRP Hair Restoration Treatment in Inverness | Glow Medspa
PRP Hair Restoration is a regenerative treatment designed to support hair growth, improve hair density and strengthen thinning hair. At Glow Medspa, a nurse-led aesthetic clinic in Inverness, PRP hair treatments use the body’s own growth factors to stimulate hair follicles and encourage healthier hair growth.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is created using a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed to concentrate platelets, which contain natural growth factors involved in tissue repair and regeneration. When carefully injected into the scalp, PRP can help stimulate hair follicles and support improved hair growth over time.
PRP Hair Restoration is often chosen by patients experiencing hair thinning or early hair loss who are seeking a non-surgical hair restoration treatment.
What concerns can PRP Hair Restoration treat?
PRP Hair Restoration may be recommended for patients experiencing:
• thinning hair
• early hair loss
• reduced hair density
• widening part line
• early receding hairline
The treatment is most commonly used for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss), which affects both men and women.
PRP may help improve hair density by stimulating the activity of existing hair follicles and supporting healthier hair growth.
How does PRP Hair Restoration work?
PRP contains concentrated platelets that release natural growth factors involved in tissue repair and regeneration.
When injected into the scalp, PRP may help:
• stimulate dormant hair follicles
• improve blood supply to hair follicles
• prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle
• support thicker, healthier hair growth
Because PRP uses your body’s own biological material, it is considered a regenerative treatment that works with the body’s natural healing processes.
What happens during the appointment?
Your appointment will begin with a consultation at our Inverness aesthetic clinic to assess your hair concerns and determine whether PRP Hair Restoration is appropriate for you.
If suitable, a small amount of blood is taken from your arm. The sample is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
The PRP is then carefully injected into areas of the scalp experiencing thinning hair.
The procedure typically takes around 45–60 minutes.
Some patients experience mild scalp tenderness or swelling following treatment, which usually settles within a few days.
When will I see results?
Hair growth occurs gradually, so results from PRP Hair Restoration develop over time.
A course of 3 treatments spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart is commonly recommended.
Many patients begin to notice improvements in hair thickness and reduced shedding within several months, although results vary depending on the underlying cause of hair loss.
Maintenance treatments may be recommended to support ongoing hair health.
