PRP after a hair transplant in DublinProtect the investment you've made.
A hair transplant moves follicles. PRP supports the scalp they grow in. Many of our clients come to us in the months after surgery, and some come before it.

The treatment
Why PRP after a transplant?
Transplanted follicles go through a lot: moved, settled, then shed before the new hair grows. PRP supports the scalp and blood supply around them through that time.
It can also help the hair around your grafts, which may still be thinning. That's why many clients carry on with PRP after their transplant has settled.
When to start
Your surgeon's advice comes first. We'll start when they say your grafts are secure, so please bring your surgery date and aftercare notes to your consultation.
Ways to tailor it
- Hair PRP + melatonin (€360). Melatonin is added to the PRP for hair density, and it's popular after a transplant.
- Hair PRP + MZS (€410). Melatonin, zinc and selenium for follicle strength and scalp health.
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.
How soon after my transplant can I have PRP?
When your surgeon says your grafts are secure. Bring your surgery date and aftercare notes to your consultation, and we'll plan around them.
Will PRP stop the shedding after my transplant?
Shedding of transplanted hairs in the first months is a normal part of the process. PRP doesn't stop it, but it supports the scalp while the new hairs grow.
Can I have PRP before my transplant?
Yes. Some clients have PRP beforehand to prepare the scalp. Check with your surgeon too.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on where you are in your recovery. Louise will plan the number and spacing with you.
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.
