Your PRP Treatment Journey
Each step of your PRP treatment is carefully managed, from assessing your hair loss to delivering platelet-rich plasma into the selected areas.
-
Consultation
Your first appointment assesses the pattern and cause of your hair loss, medical history, scalp health, previous treatments, medication and expectations. If an underlying condition requires investigation, this should be addressed before PRP treatment begins.
-
Blood sample
A small blood sample is taken from your arm, similar to a routine blood test. Crown Clinic's current treatment information describes using approximately 8 ml of blood for the procedure.
-
Centrifugation
The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, where rapid spinning separates its components and produces platelet-rich plasma containing concentrated platelets from your own blood.
-
Scalp preparation
The treatment areas are identified and the scalp is prepared before injection. The planned injection pattern is based on the location and extent of your hair thinning.
-
PRP injections
Small amounts of prepared PRP are injected into selected areas of the scalp using multiple injection points to distribute the treatment across the targeted areas.
-
Going home
PRP is a non-surgical outpatient treatment that currently takes approximately 60 minutes at Crown Clinic. Patients can normally leave shortly after the procedure is completed.
Doctor-led PRP Treatment
Every PRP course begins with a careful scalp and hair loss assessment, helping the clinical team determine whether PRP is suitable and how a course of treatment should be planned.

From the ‘point of contact’ with Mr Asim Shahmalak and his colleagues, all options were laid out regarding my hair loss.I decided to opt for 2500 grafts via FUE and a course of PRP.Mr Shahmalak and his team put me at ease, before and during the surgery, and explained each process of the procedure.
From start to finish 10 days later the whole treatment was a positive experience. I have some needs and don’t always feel comfortable with people I don’t know, but at the clinic I felt like I did know everyone they were excellent at putting me at ease.
Thank you to Mr Shahmalak, Afshan and the team at Crown Hair Clinic. Thank you to Mr Shahmalak, Afshan and the team at Crown Hair Clinic. Both Mr Shahmalak and Afshan put me at ease straight away.

I’m really glad I chose Crown Clinic for my FUE hair transplant. Everyone was incredibly helpful, friendly and professional, and the entire experience was first class.
I opted for a FUT procedure and felt no pain. I was given clear aftercare instructions and was already seeing hair growth in the transplanted area after seven days.
Throughout the six-hour operation, I was kept fully informed. After the strip removal, the skilled technicians prepared and inserted the hairs into the recipient area. The entire service was first class.
One year on, I have eyebrows. I am so pleased with the result — I look like a different person altogether.
Crown Clinic brought an ordeal caused by previously poor surgery to an end — not only fixing the matter but making it a positive experience.
As the recipient of a 1980s plug-based hair transplant, I was nervous about another procedure. Dr. Shahmalak and his team completed such neat and precise work that my recovery was extremely quick.
My hair became very fine and thin following the birth of my daughter. The treatment I received from start to finish was first class, and I am so relieved that I chose Crown Clinic.

Take The Next Step
Start with the right questions at Crown Clinic to find out whether PRP, another non-surgical option, or hair transplant surgery is best for your goals.
Frequently asked questions
Platelet Rich Plasma: a small sample of your blood is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and that concentrate is injected into the scalp.
No. Nothing is moved or implanted. PRP is an injection intended to support the follicles you already have, whereas a transplant relocates follicles from one part of the scalp to another.
No. PRP uses platelets from your own blood, not stem cells. The two are sometimes marketed together, but they are different treatments.
No. PRP does not create follicles that are not there. Where it helps, it does so by supporting existing follicles, which may show as reduced shedding or improvement in the hair already growing.
No. Where an area is fully bald the follicles are no longer active, and PRP has nothing to act on. It is intended for thinning rather than established baldness, and your clinician will say at assessment whether it is worth considering.
Clinical studies suggest PRP may improve hair density or hair count in some patients with pattern hair loss.
However, results vary and the evidence is not strong enough to guarantee benefit for every patient.
No.
Some patients respond better than others, and some may see little or no improvement.
Correct diagnosis and patient selection are important.
It may be considered for suitable men, particularly some patients with androgenetic or male pattern hair loss.
It may also be considered for suitable women.
Female hair loss can have several causes, so diagnosis is especially important before treatment.
The procedure involves multiple small injections into the scalp. Temporary discomfort, stinging or tenderness can occur during or shortly after treatment.
