The treatment
Hair loss in women looks different.
Women rarely lose hair at the hairline. More often it's a parting that slowly widens, a ponytail that feels thinner, or more hair in the brush after a stressful time.
PRP places growth factors from your own platelets into the scalp, where they support the follicles and the blood supply around them. It's gradual, so a course of sessions matters.
Common patterns we see
- A widening parting. Female pattern thinning, often running in the family.
- All-over shedding. After stress, illness or having a baby. It often settles on its own, and PRP can support regrowth.
- Patches. Sudden round patches can be alopecia areata, and may need your GP too.
When we'll suggest your GP first
If shedding is sudden or heavy, we may suggest blood tests with your GP before treatment, as iron or thyroid levels can play a part. And we don't treat during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Spun until it separates.
The tube goes into a centrifuge. Heavy red cells sink to the bottom, and the golden plasma rises to the top, with the platelets gathered just above the red layer.

Liquid gold, made of platelets.
We draw off the platelet-rich layer of the plasma. This is the PRP: your own plasma, holding far more platelets than the blood it came from.
2–3 µmone platelet
7–8 µmone red cell
Each platelet is a tiny parcel.
Platelets carry growth factors, the proteins your body uses to repair itself after a scrape or a cut. When the PRP goes back into your skin or scalp, they release them.
PDGFgrowth factor
VEGFgrowth factor
TGF-βgrowth factor
A message your cells already understand.
Growth factors dock onto receptors on nearby cells and switch on repair work, including collagen production in the skin and activity around the hair follicle.
Then your body does the rest.
In the skin, fibroblasts lay down fresh collagen, so texture and fine lines can improve gradually over the following weeks.
Then we finish with red light.
Every treatment now ends with free red light therapy. Red and near-infrared light passes into the skin and scalp, where it's absorbed by the mitochondria: the parts of each cell that make its energy.
We use it to calm the skin after treatment, support circulation and help along the renewal your PRP has started. It's warm and painless, and you just lie back.

Your appointment
About an hour, start to finish.
- Consultation
We look closely at your skin or scalp, talk through your goals, and check PRP is right for you.
- Blood draw
A small sample is taken from your arm by a certified phlebotomist.
- Centrifuge
The sample is spun to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of your blood.
- Preparation
We prepare the PRP, with any add-ons in your plan. For face, under-eye and neck treatments, numbing cream takes effect while you wait.
- Treatment
The PRP is placed into the area with a very fine needle.
- Free red light therapy
You finish under a red light panel, free with every treatment. It's warm and painless, and helps calm the skin after the injections.
- Aftercare
Some redness or swelling is normal and usually settles within a few days. We'll tell you exactly what to avoid.
Before you come in
- No alcohol or recreational drugs the day before your appointment.
- Eat normally and drink plenty of water, as it makes the blood draw easier.
- Tell us about any medication you take, especially blood thinners or anti-inflammatories.
Questions
Good questions to ask.
Anything else? Message Louise on WhatsApp at +353 83 307 7116.
Can I have PRP while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. We don't treat during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Shedding after having a baby often settles by itself, and we're happy to see you once you've finished breastfeeding.
Do I need to cut or shave my hair?
No. The PRP is placed into the scalp between your hairs.
Will PRP help with stress-related shedding?
Shedding after stress often settles once the cause passes. PRP can support the scalp while the hair regrows.
How many sessions will I need?
Hair needs a course and some patience. Most clients start with 3 sessions a few weeks apart, then top up. Louise will plan the spacing at your consultation.
When will I see results?
Hair grows slowly, so changes take months rather than weeks. Many clients first notice less shedding, then thicker hair over time.
Does it hurt?
You may feel some mild stinging during the injections. For face, under-eye and neck treatments we use numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Hair treatments are done without it. Afterwards you may have some redness, swelling or bruising, which usually settles within a few days.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes, if you're new to us. The consultation costs €50 and takes about an hour. Louise checks PRP is right for you and builds your plan, and if you go ahead, the €50 comes off your first treatment.
