Hair Growth Cycle — Anagen, Catagen, Telogen
Understanding the hair growth cycle explains why PRP works best in a series. PRP provides gentle signalling via growth factors; repeating that signalling with PRP Sessions helps align with the cycle so changes can build and hold. For expected milestones, read the Results Timeline.
Anagen — Growth
The active growth phase. Supporting the environment around follicles during or leading into anagen can help hair feel thicker and easier to style over time. Keep your cadence steady and follow simple Aftercare after each visit.
Catagen — Transition
A brief transition phase where the follicle prepares to rest. Consistent appointment spacing keeps overall signalling steady across your scalp while individual hairs move between phases.
Telogen — Rest
The resting phase before hairs naturally shed. Many clients first notice calmer shedding (shower/brush) around 6–12 weeks, particularly when they keep to their plan—see the Results Timeline.
Why Consistency Wins
- Complete a 3–6 session induction (PRP Sessions).
- Maintain every 3–6 months to remain in step with biology.
- Track with photos month-to-month, not day-to-day.
FAQs
Can I speed up the cycle?
The cycle is natural and individual. What you can control is consistency and gentle care—follow Aftercare and keep appointments on schedule.
What if shedding spikes?
Shedding patterns can vary. Compare month-to-month photos and keep your cadence steady. Comfort guidance is in PRP Side Effects.
Where does cost fit in?
Budget for induction plus maintenance. See PRP Cost (London) and book through the main PRP page.
