Why combine microneedling with PRP for hair?

Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels while PRP supplies growth factor signalling. Together they support a healthy scalp environment and help changes build across your session plan.

What happens at a combined appointment?

We cleanse and map the scalp, prepare PRP from a small blood draw, then perform microneedling and PRP micro-injections across the priority areas. You receive simple aftercare guidance.

Is there extra downtime?

Downtime is typically minimal. Expect brief tenderness or redness that usually settles within 24–48 hours. Most clients return to normal activity the same day.

How often should I schedule it?

Most plans follow a 3–6 session induction spaced 4–6 weeks apart, then maintenance every 3–6 months. Your cadence is tailored at consultation.

Microneedling & PRP — Why Combine

Many clients choose to combine PRP with microneedling for a gentle, synergy-driven approach to scalp wellness and hair calibre. Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels; PRP delivers natural growth factors that support signalling around follicles. For an overview of the treatment pathway, start with the main PRP page, then plan your cadence via PRP Sessions and check milestones in the Results Timeline.

How the Combination Works

Microneedling: tiny, even channels that nudge local renewal.
PRP: a natural concentration of signalling proteins that supports the hair growth cycle.
Together: a coordinated, low-downtime plan designed to build results steadily.

Who May Benefit

Early-to-moderate thinning patterns, including androgenetic alopecia, clients recovering after telogen effluvium (once triggers resolve), and those optimising scalp health with minimal disruption to routine. If styling tension is a factor, review traction alopecia habits.

FAQs

Is the combo better than PRP alone?

It’s a popular choice for clients seeking a more comprehensive approach. We’ll tailor whether you combine or alternate sessions based on goals and comfort.

How do I care for my scalp afterwards?

Keep things gentle for 24–48 hours: avoid heavy sweating, saunas and harsh products. Full guidance is in PRP Aftercare.

When will I notice changes?

Many people notice calmer shedding by 6–12 weeks, with coverage building across 3–6 months as you complete induction. See the Results Timeline.
