At NU-U Clinics, we harness the power of PRP therapy to effectively address hair loss concerns.
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich, and this treatment uses your body’s natural healing mechanisms, making it a key player in hair restoration and regenerative medicine.
PRP injections are prepared by taking a sample of your blood and placing it into a centrifuge to separate the blood into various components, namely red and white blood cells, other substances, and platelets.
Subsequently, the platelets (containing growth factors which spur cell reproduction and tissue regeneration) are collected, mixed into a blood liquid base and injected into the affected areas of your scalp.

Our Experts
Our PRP hair restoration procedures are carried out exclusively by our highly experienced team of doctors, who regularly use PRP treatments to address both cosmetic and medical concerns.
To combat hair loss, encourage the growth of healthier and thicker hair, and help protect your hair from premature shedding, the treatment involves harvesting the natural growth factors in the blood and redistributing them in your scalp to feed your hair follicles.
What to expect
A small amount of your blood will be drawn from your arm and inserted into our state-of-the-art centrifuge machine to separate these powerful, beneficial, and regenerative platelets from your blood.
The concentrated platelets will then be injected back into your scalp. The treatment itself can take up to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. There is no downtime and the majority of patients typically notice visible results within a few months, with ongoing improvement observed throughout the following year.
After Care
After having your PRP treatment, you are advised to avoid using any other product on your scalp for up to 24 hours. This is to ensure the treated area is kept clean and to reduce any chance of infection. You should also avoid exposing your head to direct sunlight and avoid alcohol and smoking for 24 hours. Additionally, avoid touching your hair or scalp as much as possible for as long as possible.
