Hair thinning and gradual hair loss are common concerns that can affect both men and women. Factors such as genetics, stress, hormonal changes, and the natural ageing process can all influence the strength and density of your hair.
For this type of concern, PRP/PRF procedures may help you address them.
At My Cosmetic Clinic, our medical team provides PRP and PRF consultations for individuals seeking medically guided support for scalp and hair health. These procedures are designed to work with your body’s own regenerative properties to help improve scalp condition and hair vitality.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are advanced techniques that utilise your own blood’s natural components. These platelet concentrates are known to contain growth factors and bioactive proteins that play a role in tissue healing and repair.
While both PRP and PRF are prepared from a small sample of your blood, PRF is often considered the next generation of platelet technology, containing a higher concentration of growth factors and a fibrin matrix that releases them more slowly over time.
In hair restoration, these techniques are used to support scalp health and create optimal conditions for stronger, healthier hair growth.
The process begins with collecting a small amount of your blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and fibrin matrix. The concentrated solution will be carefully delivered to targeted areas of the scalp using a fine delivery method.
Once introduced into the skin, the platelets release growth factors that may help:
Because PRP and PRF use your own biological material, the procedure is considered biocompatible and carries minimal risk of allergic reaction.
PRP and PRF may be suitable for individuals experiencing:

During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your scalp and hair condition to determine if PRP or PRF is appropriate for your concerns.
At My Cosmetic Clinic, every PRP and PRF plan begins with a comprehensive consultation.
During this appointment, your medical practitioner will:
Review your medical history and current scalp condition
Explain the procedure, expected outcomes, and aftercare steps
Discuss how many sessions may be recommended based on your needs
Determine whether PRP or PRF is more suitable for your situation
The process is conducted in a clinical setting by qualified medical practitioners who follow strict hygiene and safety protocols.
A typical PRP or PRF session may take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your treatment plan. Most patients may return to normal activities shortly after their appointment. As for side effects, you may notice mild redness or tenderness in the treated area for a short period, which generally settles within 24–48 hours.
Since these methods work by stimulating natural biological processes, changes in hair texture or thickness often develop gradually over several months. However, it’s best to remember that results may also vary between individuals depending on age, genetics, and other health factors.
Discussing with a qualified practitioner is a must to explore the benefits, risks and recovery.
As PRP and PRF treatments use your own biological material, the risk of an allergic reaction or transmission of disease is minimised. However, like any medical procedure, there are still potential risks. These may include:
