Using cutting-edge techniques like PRP, exosomes, and polynucleotides, the clinic focuses on cellular regeneration for lasting, natural results.

If you’re considering PRP hair rejuvenation, you’re already taking a step toward restoring your hair’s natural strength and vitality. At Levitas Aesthetics, our PRP hair treatments in London use your body’s own platelets to stimulate hair follicles and encourage healthy growth. To help you make the most of your treatment, here’s a simple guide on how to prepare for your PRP appointment and what to expect during the process.

Understanding PRP Therapy for Hair Loss

PRP therapy for hair loss in London is a non-surgical, natural procedure that uses the healing properties of your own blood. During the treatment, a small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other components. This concentrated PRP is then injected into your scalp, where it works to repair damaged follicles, boost circulation, and encourage new hair growth.

The result? Thicker, healthier, and stronger hair — all through your body’s own regenerative power.

Pre-Treatment Checklist: How to Prepare for PRP Hair Rejuvenation

Proper preparation helps you achieve the best possible outcome from your PRP session. Follow these key steps before your appointment:

  1. Avoid blood-thinning medications
    Refrain from aspirin, ibuprofen, or similar anti-inflammatory drugs for at least 48 hours before your treatment, unless advised otherwise by your doctor.

  2. Stay hydrated
    Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment. Hydration makes it easier to draw blood and improves the quality of the plasma.

  3. Skip alcohol and caffeine
    Both can dehydrate you and affect your platelet concentration, so it’s best to avoid them for 24 hours before your visit.

  4. Wash your hair beforehand
    Arrive with clean, product-free hair and scalp. You won’t be able to wash your hair for at least 24 hours after your session.

  5. Eat a healthy meal
    A light, balanced meal before your treatment can help prevent dizziness or lightheadedness during the blood draw.

What to Expect During Your PRP Hair Treatment

When you arrive at Levitas Aesthetics, your comfort and care are our top priorities. Here’s what typically happens during a PRP hair rejuvenation session:

  1. Consultation & assessment
    Your specialist will review your medical history, hair loss pattern, and goals to ensure you’re a suitable candidate.

  2. Blood draw & preparation
    A small sample of your blood is collected and processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.

  3. PRP injection or microneedling
    The PRP is then carefully injected into targeted areas of your scalp or applied with microneedling for deeper absorption.

  4. Post-treatment soothing
    A cooling serum or gentle massage is often applied to reduce redness and enhance comfort.

The entire process usually takes around 45–60 minutes, with no downtime required.

Aftercare: Maximizing Your Results

  • Avoid washing your hair or using styling products for 24 hours.

  • Skip saunas, steam rooms, or strenuous exercise for 48 hours.

  • Do not take anti-inflammatory medication unless approved by your doctor.

  • Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support the healing process.

Most clients notice visible improvement in texture and density after 3–4 sessions of PRP therapy for hair loss in London.
