Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in Manchester
PRP for Hair Loss & Skin Rejuvenation
Seeking a natural way to restore skin elasticity or reduce hair thinning? Fenix’s PRP Therapy uses your blood’s healing compounds to promote cellular repair and tissue growth.
Known as the “Vampire Facial,” PRP therapy harvests blood platelets rich in growth factors. When injected into the face or scalp, these factors stimulate stem cells to produce collagen, rebuild tissue, and reactivate hair follicles.

How it works
How PRP Biological Therapy Works
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy operates on the principle of autologous tissue regeneration—utilizing your body’s innate repair mechanisms.
The Bio-Mechanism:
-
Blood Extraction & Centrifugation: A small sample of blood is drawn from your arm and placed into a specialized clinical centrifuge. Rapid spinning separates red blood cells from the platelet-rich plasma layer.
-
Concentrated Growth Factor Delivery: The isolated PRP—containing up to 5 times the standard concentration of platelets—is extracted into a sterile syringe.
-
Targeted Re-injection / Micro-Delivery: The plasma is precisely injected or micro-needled into target treatment zones (delicate under-eye skin, full face, neck, or thinning scalp areas).
-
Fibroblast & Follicle Activation: Once delivered, platelets degranulate and release key active proteins (PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β). In the skin, this triggers fibroblast activity and new collagen/elastin formation. In the scalp, it improves vascular blood flow to hair roots and pushes dormant follicles back into the active growth phase.
Areas Treated
Key Target Concerns & Treatment Applications
Facial & Skin Rejuvenation:
Dark Circles & Crepiness
Restores volume, thickens thin under-eye skin, and lightens dark hollows.
Dullness & Loss of Elasticity
Enhances overall skin firmness, radiance, and hydration.
Acne Scarring & Damage
Boosts skin repair and softens scars, especially with microneedling.
Hair & Scalp Restoration:
The Process
Your Treatment Journey Expectations
-
Clinical Assessment & Preparation
Our practitioner reviews your medical history, examines skin/scalp conditions, and applies a topical medical-grade numbing cream to ensure comfort.
-
Blood Sample Collection
A quick, routine blood sample (approx. 10–20 ml) is drawn from your arm, identical to a standard blood test.
-
Centrifugation & Harvesting
The blood tube is spun in a medical-grade centrifuge for 8–10 minutes to separate the golden platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells.
-
Targeted Micro-Injections
The isolated PRP is delivered using ultra-fine needles or an automated mesotherapy device directly into the dermal layers of the face or across a grid pattern on the scalp.
Key Benefits
Key Benefits of PRP Therapy
100% Autologous & Biocompatible
Uses your own blood components, virtually eliminating the risk of allergic reactions, rejection, or foreign-body response.
Multi-Area Versatility
Uniquely effective in delicate zones where other treatments struggle (e.g., under-eye tear troughs, fine lip lines).
Drug-Free Hair Restoration
Stimulates hair density naturally without the need for daily prescription medications.
Synergistic Capabilities
Easily combined with microneedling, dermal fillers, or laser therapies to supercharge clinical outcomes.
Candidacy
Suitability & Medical Considerations
You are likely an ideal candidate if you:
-
Individuals seeking a 100% natural approach to anti-aging, under-eye brightening, or skin texture repair.
-
Men and women experiencing early-to-moderate hair thinning or hairline recession.
Who Should Avoid Treatment:
-
Individuals with active blood disorders, low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia), or severe anemia.
-
Patients currently taking oral blood thinners/anticoagulants or heavy anti-inflammatory medications.
-
Active scalp or facial skin infections, cold sores, or open lesions in the treatment zone.
Aftercare
Recovery & Essential Aftercare Guidelines
To maximize your results and maintain a smooth recovery:
Avoid Anti-Inflammatories for 7 Days
Do NOT take NSAIDs (such as Ibuprofen) as they suppress the natural inflammatory cascade required for PRP growth factor release.
Avoid Touching or Washing the Area for 12 Hours
Allow the micro-injection sites to close completely and retain all active growth factors.
Skip Strenuous Exercise & Heat for 48 Hours
Avoid high-intensity workouts, saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths to minimize swelling.
Refrain from Hair Washing (Scalp Treatments)
Wait 24 hours before gently washing your hair with a mild, sulphate-free shampoo; avoid harsh chemical dyes or heat styling for 3 days.
Side Effects
Potential Side Effects & Safety Considerations
Because PRP is derived entirely from your own blood, adverse reactions are minimal. Normal short-term responses include:
-
Localized Mild Swelling & Redness: Flushes or light tightness around injection points that settles within 24 to 48 hours.
-
Pinpoint Bruising: Minor localized bruising may occur at injection sites, especially in delicate under-eye areas.
-
Scalp Tenderness: A mild tight or bruised feeling on the scalp for 24 hours following hair restoration sessions.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About PRP Therapy
Between 45 and 60 minutes, covering the clinical assessment and numbing, the blood draw, 8 to 10 minutes in the centrifuge, and the micro-injections themselves.
A topical medical-grade numbing cream is applied before treatment, and the blood draw is a routine 10 to 20 ml sample, identical to a standard blood test.
PRP works by triggering your own fibroblasts and follicles, so collagen and elastin build over the weeks that follow rather than appearing on the day.
The treatment regenerates your own tissue rather than adding a product, so the result is maintained with a course agreed at your consultation.
Yes. It is easily combined with microneedling, dermal fillers or laser therapies, and it is used after a hair transplant to boost graft survival and speed scalp healing.
Localized mild swelling and redness that settles within 24 to 48 hours, pinpoint bruising at injection sites — especially under the eyes — and scalp tenderness for about 24 hours after a hair session.
Yes. One blood draw yields plasma for whichever zones are planned, whether that is the face, the under-eyes, the neck, the scalp, or a combination of them.
Leave the area untouched and unwashed for 12 hours. After a scalp session, wait 24 hours, then use a mild sulphate-free shampoo and avoid dyes or heat styling for 3 days.
NSAIDs such as ibuprofen for 7 days — they suppress the inflammatory cascade PRP depends on — plus high-intensity workouts, saunas, steam rooms and hot baths for 48 hours.
No. It is not suitable with an active blood disorder, a low platelet count, severe anaemia, ongoing anticoagulant or heavy anti-inflammatory medication, or an active infection or open lesion in the treatment zone.
