How PRP Can Help with Hair Growth and Why It Works Best with a Holistic Approach

At Cheshire MediGlow, we know that healthy, confident hair starts from inside and out. One of the most exciting treatments we offer for hair restoration is PRP therapy, a powerful, natural method that uses your body’s own growth factors to stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp health and encourage thicker, stronger hair growth.

But while PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) can achieve impressive results, it’s most effective when combined with good nutrition, healthy habits and gentle hair care practices. Let’s explore how PRP works and the lifestyle choices that make it even more successful.

What Is PRP for Hair Growth?

PRP therapy is a non-surgical, regenerative treatment that helps stimulate hair growth.

How it works:

1. A small amount of your blood is drawn.

2. It’s spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, a golden layer packed with growth factors and proteins.

3. This plasma is then injected into the scalp, targeting areas where hair thinning or shedding is most noticeable.

   

   
   

The growth factors in PRP signal your dormant hair follicles to regenerate and produce new, thicker strands, while improving circulation and scalp health. At Cheshire MediGlow, our medical team delivers PRP with precision and care, ensuring the treatment is comfortable, safe and tailored to your individual needs.

Why PRP Works Best Alongside Other Measures

While PRP can stimulate hair growth on its own, the health of your scalp and body plays a huge role in how well your follicles respond. That’s why we recommend a holistic approach alongside your PRP treatments.

To help alongside PRP

Your hair is a reflection of your internal health, especially your gut. A balanced diet rich in protein, iron, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins (like Biotin and Vitamin D) helps create the foundation for strong, resilient hair.

• Include foods like eggs, spinach, oily fish, nuts and seeds.

• Support your gut microbiome with fermented foods like yoghurt, kefir and kimchi, a healthy gut aids nutrient absorption and reduces inflammation that can impact the scalp.

  
  

Reduce Heat and Chemical Stress

Overuse of heat styling tools or harsh chemical treatments can weaken hair shafts and irritate the scalp.

To maximise your PRP results:

• Limit straighteners, curling irons and blow-dryers.

• Use heat protectant sprays when you do style.

• Swap chemical-laden shampoos for sulphate-free, scalp-nourishing formulas.

By creating a gentler environment for your hair, you’re giving PRP the best chance to work effectively.

Manage Stress and Prioritise Sleep

Chronic stress and poor sleep can disrupt the hair growth cycle. Incorporate calming routines such as meditation, yoga, or simply spending time outdoors. Remember: PRP supports your hair’s physical regeneration but your mental and emotional wellbeing are equally essential for long-term results.

Combine PRP with Complementary Treatments

At Cheshire MediGlow, we often recommend pairing PRP with other advanced therapies for even stronger outcomes, such as:

• PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) – a next-generation, longer-lasting version of PRP.

• Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) – improves scalp circulation and supports cellular energy.

• Nutrient-based hair boosters or mesotherapy – deliver targeted nourishment directly into the scalp.

Our practitioners will guide you through a personalised plan to get the best, most natural-looking results.

What to Expect at Cheshire MediGlow

Your PRP hair treatment begins with a full consultation to understand your hair history, lifestyle and goals. During treatment, you can relax while our trained aesthetic team performs the procedure with precision and care. There’s minimal downtime, with clients returning to their normal day immediately. Over time, you’ll notice thicker texture, reduced shedding and healthier scalp condition usually after a course of sessions spaced a few weeks apart.

PRP is a powerful, regenerative solution for those experiencing hair thinning or loss, but it’s not just about the injections. When combined with mindful nutrition, gentle care and supportive lifestyle changes, it can transform both the health and appearance of your hair.

At Cheshire MediGlow, we believe in treating the root cause, not just the symptom, so you can look and feel your most confident self.
