PRP / PRF Hair Restoration in Altrincham
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)/ iPRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) is a treatment that uses your body’s own cells to promote regeneration and rejuvenation. We combine our deep understanding of PRP/ PRF therapy with the latest technology and techniques. PRP/ PRF is derived from your blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets, growth factors and plasma (source of nutrients)
We have now upgraded to PRF (Platelet rich Fibrin) which is the next generation treatment with proven more reliability, better results, fewer sessions, and less painful than PRP. It involves drawing your blood and processing it (centrifuge) to get the Platelets, White Blood Cells and growth factors.
PRF represents the latest evolution of regenerative hair medicine. With a slower release of growth factors and no additives, it provides a longer biological activity and more powerful rejuvenation compared to traditional PRP.
PRP vs PRF for Hair Restoration
The two treatments share a foundation, but they differ in potency and regenerative potential. Based on competitor research, clinics highlight PRF as the advanced version. Here is a clear, client‑friendly comparison:
PRP Hair Restoration
- Plasma is spun at higher speed.
- Provides an immediate growth factor release.
- Contains platelets with minimal fibrin matrix.
- Effective for early‑stage thinning and maintenance.
PRF Hair Restoration
- Lower‑speed centrifugation preserves more regenerative cells.
- Forms a fibrin-rich scaffold for prolonged release.
- Contains platelets, stem cells and white blood cells.
- Superior for clients with earlier miniaturisation or more visible thinning.

Your PRP / PRF Hair Restoration Journey
1. Consultation
A detailed assessment of your scalp, follicle health and hair loss pattern. A personalised plan is created to determine whether PRP, PRF or both are most suitable.
2. Blood Collection
A small sample of blood is taken and prepared using centrifugation to isolate platelets and regenerative cells. The PRF process uses lower spin speeds to preserve more bioactive components.
3. Injection Procedure
The prepared PRP or PRF is gently placed into thinning areas using precise injection techniques. Treatment focuses on areas showing weakness or decline in density.
4. Recovery and Ongoing Support
After treatment, a soothing recovery gel and SPF are applied. You may notice mild redness or light crusting for a few days, similar to mild sunburn, which resolves naturally.
What Results You Can Expect
Most clients notice:
- Reduction in shedding after early sessions
- Improved scalp health and less brittleness
- Increased thickness and early density improvements at 8 to 12 weeks
- Stronger regrowth with continued sessions
- Progressive improvement with PRF due to extended growth factor release
Best results are achieved through a structured series of treatments.
Aftercare for Optimal Outcomes
- Avoid washing your hair for several hours
- Do not use heat tools for 48 hours
- Protect the scalp from direct sun exposure
- Use only recommended hair care products
- Maintain good nutrition to support follicle repair
