What is PRP & Polynucleotide Therapy?
At Innovate Aesthetics, we offer advanced regenerative treatments to help restore and strengthen your hair naturally.
We use both Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Polynucleotides (PNs), either individually or in combination. PRP harnesses growth factors in your own blood to stimulate dormant follicles, while Polynucleotides repair and rejuvenate scalp tissue, creating the ideal environment for healthy hair growth.
Together, these treatments can reduce shedding, improve density, and enhance scalp vitality.
How Does PRP & Polynucleotide Therapy Work?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma):
A small amount of your blood is taken, processed in a centrifuge, and the platelet-rich plasma is re-injected into thinning areas of your scalp. These platelets release growth factors that increase blood supply and stimulate follicles to grow stronger, thicker hair.
Polynucleotides (PNs):
These purified DNA fragments act as a scaffold for regeneration. When injected into the scalp, they improve microcirculation, hydration, and cell repair, while reducing inflammation. This supports follicle health and helps prolong the results of PRP.
Combined treatment delivers the best of both approaches: PRP activates growth, while PNs create the optimal environment for stronger, longer-lasting results.
What Can PRP & Polynucleotides Treat?
• Early signs of thinning or hair loss
• Reduced hair density
• Weak or brittle hair
• Excessive shedding
• Loss of scalp vitality and hydration
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Consultation:
Your treatment journey begins with a consultation where we assess your scalp, discuss your goals, and determine the best approach for you.
The Treatment:
PRP is prepared from your blood and injected into thinning areas.
Polynucleotides are then injected into the scalp to support regeneration.
A treatment usually takes 45–60 minutes.
Aftercare:
After your treatment, avoid touching or washing your scalp for 12–24 hours and refrain from hair dye, heat, or strenuous exercise for 48 hours. Mild redness or swelling may occur but should settle within a few days.
When Will I See Results?
With PRP, patients may notice reduced shedding and healthier hair texture within 4–8 weeks. Polynucleotides often bring visible improvements in scalp health and a reduction in inflammation within the first few weeks. When used as a combined treatment, thickening and regrowth are usually most noticeable after 2–3 months, with the best results seen after completing a full course.
Results & Expectations
Results develop gradually as the scalp responds to treatment. Individual outcomes vary depending on scalp condition, lifestyle, and treatment plan. During your consultation, we will discuss expected results, number of sessions required, and aftercare to ensure realistic expectations and optimal outcomes.
Safety & Regulation
Both PRP and Polynucleotides are very safe and minimally invasive treatments. PRP uses your own blood, meaning there is no risk of allergy or rejection. Polynucleotides are also biocompatible and well tolerated, although they are not suitable for patients with a fish allergy. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites can sometimes occur, but these effects usually resolve within a few days.
Treatments are performed in accordance with Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) guidelines using MHRA-licensed or CE-marked products approved for use in the UK.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
PRP & Polynucleotides may be right for you if:
• You are experiencing early to moderate thinning or reduced density
• You want to strengthen and restore your hair naturally
• You are not ready or suitable for surgical hair restoration
This treatment may not be suitable for:
• Patients with advanced baldness where follicles are no longer active
• Certain medical conditions such as blood disorders and autoimmune conditions
• People with a known fish allergy (for Polynucleotides)
FAQs
How many sessions will I need?
For PRP alone, a minimum of three sessions is required, usually spaced a few weeks apart. For Polynucleotides alone, the recommended course is a minimum of four sessions carried out a few weeks apart. When combining both treatments, a minimum of six sessions is typically required to achieve the best results.
Can PRP and Polynucleotides be combined?
Yes. Many patients benefit most from a combined approach, as PRP can stimulate hair growth while Polynucleotides improve scalp health and help prolong results.
When will I notice results?
Reduced shedding is often seen within weeks, while visible thickening usually develops after 2–3 months.
Is the treatment painful?
There may be some mild discomfort during injections, but most patients tolerate the treatment well.
Is there downtime?
You may experience redness or swelling for 24–48 hours, but most patients return to normal activities immediately.
