PRP Hair Rejuvenation in Tuam, Galway
PRP Hair Rejuvenation
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair rejuvenation is a medical procedure that uses a small sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets, which is then carefully introduced into the scalp. The treatment is designed to support scalp health and hair quality using your body’s own biological material.
People often consider PRP hair rejuvenation when they are looking to:
- Improve hair quality and density
- Address concerns about hair thinning
- Maintain hair density and quality following hair transplant surgery
- Maintain hair health as part of a broader care plan
- Support scalp health and condition
A medical consultation is required before treatment to assess suitability of treatment. A course of treatments may be recommended, depending on individual assessment. Maintenance sessions may be considered over time. Your doctor will advise on an appropriate treatment plan based on your needs.
