# PRP Hair & Facial Therapy in Birmingham
Platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses your own blood’s natural healing factors to encourage hair growth and refresh the complexion. At Hello Skin Clinic, we separate and concentrate the platelets from a small sample of your blood and gently inject them into targeted areas. The result is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates new collagen, improves skin tone and helps dormant hair follicles reawaken.
## What is PRP?
PRP therapy is an autologous treatment – it uses your own blood – so the risk of allergic reaction is extremely low. A sample is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to separate platelets and growth factors, and then re‑injected into the scalp or face. These concentrated platelets release signalling proteins that promote tissue repair and regeneration. PRP can be used on its own or combined with microneedling or laser therapies to amplify results.
## Benefits of PRP
* **Hair restoration:** Stimulates dormant follicles to help thicken thinning hair and slow early hair loss.
* **Facial rejuvenation:** Improves skin texture and tone, reduces fine lines and acne scars, and gives a healthy glow.
* **Natural and safe:** Uses your own blood, so there are no synthetic fillers or foreign substances.
* **Minimal downtime:** Most clients return to normal activities quickly; mild swelling or redness resolves within a day.
## Why choose Hello Skin Clinic?
At Hello Skin Clinic we provide PRP treatments in a private, halal‑friendly environment. Our practitioners are fully trained and follow strict hygiene protocols. You can request female‑only practitioners and a Shariah‑compliant care plan. We tailor each PRP course to your goals and combine it with complementary treatments when appropriate.
## How PRP works
1. **Consultation:** We assess your concerns and medical history to ensure PRP is appropriate. Non‑surgical cosmetic procedures currently have limited regulation in England, and a new licensing scheme is being introduced under the Health and Care Act 2022【126037729884351†L115-L140】. It is illegal to administer cosmetic injectables to people under 18 years【632697257834661†L137-L144】.
2. **Blood draw:** A small volume of blood (around 10–20 ml) is taken from your arm.
3. **Centrifugation:** The sample is placed in a centrifuge to separate platelet‑rich plasma from red cells.
4. **Injection:** The PRP is injected into the target area using fine needles. For hair, multiple injections are made across the scalp. For skin, injections are placed in the dermis or combined with microneedling.
5. **Aftercare:** You can return to work immediately, though you may experience mild swelling or bruising.
## Who is a good candidate?
PRP therapy is suitable for men and women with thinning hair, early hair loss or those seeking natural skin rejuvenation. People with blood‑clotting disorders, severe anaemia, uncontrolled diabetes or active infections should avoid PRP【519433529849007†L210-L218】. Treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding【519433529849007†L210-L218】. Under‑18s must not receive cosmetic injections【632697257834661†L137-L144】. We’ll conduct a full assessment at your consultation to ensure safety.
## Treatment process
* **Preparation:** We cleanse the treatment area and may apply numbing cream for comfort.
* **Injection:** Using a fine needle, your practitioner administers the PRP into the scalp or face. The procedure takes 45–60 minutes.
* **Post‑treatment:** Expect mild swelling, redness or pinpoint bruising. These effects usually resolve within 24 hours.
## Aftercare
To maximise results and minimise side effects:
* **Avoid touching or massaging** the treated areas and remain upright for at least four hours【501766927697178†L285-L287】.
* **Skip strenuous exercise and alcohol** for 24 hours【501766927697178†L290-L293】.
* **Avoid makeup** and harsh skincare products until the next day【501766927697178†L297-L300】.
* **Protect your skin or scalp from the sun** and apply a broad‑spectrum SPF 30+ daily【501766927697178†L304-L307】.
* **Stay hydrated:** Drinking plenty of water supports healing.
## Treatment plan & results
A typical course involves **three to six sessions** spaced four to six weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every six to twelve months help sustain improvements. Hair results develop gradually over three to six months, while skin can look more vibrant within a few weeks.
## Frequently asked questions
### How does PRP differ from dermal fillers?
Fillers add volume by placing hyaluronic acid gels under the skin, while PRP stimulates your own collagen and growth factors to repair tissue. They can be used together to enhance results.
### Does PRP hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. We use fine needles and can apply numbing cream. Most clients describe slight pressure or pinching.
### How long do results last?
Hair regrowth results can last a year or longer with maintenance. Facial improvements last six to twelve months. Ongoing sessions maintain the benefits.
### Are there any side effects?
You may experience temporary swelling, redness or bruising. Serious complications are rare because PRP is autologous.
## Pricing and packages
We offer PRP hair and facial treatments as single sessions or in discounted packages of three and six. During your consultation we will recommend the best plan for your goals.
