Hair loss has several different causes and they are not treated the same way. A procedure booked before the cause is known is treating a symptom nobody has named.

Androgenetic hair loss, shedding after childbirth, thyroid disease, iron deficiency and the scarring alopecias all look like hair loss and are managed differently. Some need medical treatment; a scarring alopecia needs a different route altogether and time matters in it.
A first visit is history, a look at the scalp and the pattern of loss, and blood tests where they are indicated. Only then is it worth discussing what to do.
This is also why we will sometimes recommend against a procedure: if a cause has been found that needs treating, treating it is what changes the picture.
PRP is autologous, meaning it comes from you. Blood is drawn, spun in a closed Regen Lab device to separate the plasma fraction with its concentrated platelets, and that fraction is injected into the scalp. Nothing from a donor and nothing from an animal is involved.
Doctor-performed. The device, the volume drawn and the areas injected are recorded in your notes.
It is an adjunct. It is used alongside whatever the cause of your hair loss actually requires, not instead of it.
It is not a cure, and the published evidence is mixed: some randomised and observational studies report benefit in androgenetic hair loss, others find no difference against control, and protocols vary between them. Anyone who tells you the outcome in advance is telling you something they do not know.
Where a treatment with stronger evidence is indicated for your particular cause, that is discussed first. Sessions and spacing are decided after assessment, and we do not sell a course in advance.
Noticeable shedding a few months after giving birth is common and usually settles on its own. The useful first steps are time, and checking iron and thyroid, rather than a procedure.
It is worth an appointment if it is still going a year on, if the pattern is patchy rather than diffuse, or if the scalp itself is sore, scaling or visibly scarred.
Active infection of the scalp. Pregnancy. A blood disorder, or anticoagulant medication, which needs discussing before the appointment rather than on the day.
And when the assessment finds a cause that should be treated first — that is not a delay, it is the treatment.
No. It is used as an adjunct alongside whatever the cause requires, and the published evidence for it is mixed.
Your own. It is drawn at the appointment and processed in a closed Regen Lab device before being injected into the scalp.
Often, yes. Iron deficiency and thyroid disease both cause hair loss and both are treated by treating them, so it is worth knowing before anything else is planned.
Usually not as a first step. Shedding after childbirth is common and usually settles; time plus checking iron and thyroid is the sensible first move, and we would discuss it that way.
A doctor. The blood draw, the preparation and the injections are all done in the clinic at the same visit.
Nothing is planned before someone has looked. Ask a question first if you would rather — that is a normal way to start.
