There’s not much advice out there for thinning hair. Many women and men may find their hair thinning more as they age as well as shedding hair particularly as their hormones fluctuate.
Typically, hair loss products such as shampoos, supplements, and transplants target men. However, products suitable for both men and women are rare. PRP for Hair Thinning may be the answer we have been searching.
PRP treatment for the hair is the same as the liquid gold facial that rejuvenates the skin and face. Platelet Rich Plasma is plasma from your own blood.
This plasma is full of growth factors that encourage your body to heal. For example, just like when we hurt ourselves, the platelets in our blood start a healing cascade and rejuvenate the area. In the case of our scalp, the platelet-rich plasma we add back into our skin and scalp through micro needling and injecting stimulates our hair follicles to grow back healthier and fuller.
PRP for thinning hair is suitable for both men and women. Similarly, a consultation is always needed to determine whether it would be suitable.
The research on PRP for hair loss is conclusive, yes it works! The research findings show an increase in hair regrowth, hair thickness, hair root strength, and a significant reduction in the loss of hair.
In addition, it has also found that treatment with PRP for hair loss shows significant improvement in hair volume and quality. The research confirms this with strong results at three months. It also finds that PRP injections have a positive therapeutic effect on male and female pattern hair loss without any remarkable major side effects.
First, we numb the treatment area to avoid any discomfort during treatment.
Numbing the area takes approximately 15 minutes. We take a very small sample of your blood while we wait. This is placed in a centrifuge and the plasma is separated from your blood cells. The yellow plasma is what we use in the treatment as it contains all those good growth factors.
Next, when you are numbed, we add the plasma to your scalp. There are two methods for this treatment. The first of these is threading and needling the product into the area, and the second is using the Dermapen. The methods deliver similar results. For micro-needling, the needled area creates channels for the plasma. The plasma is then spread with further micro-needling in the scalp. This allows the plasma into deeper layers of the scalp. The second method is via threading and needling, this is more commonly used in treatment for hair loss as it allows us to get to areas we can’t get to with the Dermapen.
The treatment is completed when the product is injected. We don’t recommend washing your hair that evening unless necessary.
Downtime is minimal, and you will be able to return to work the next day.
Typically, we recommend three treatments over the course of 3 months. The research suggests that this where the best results happen.
Boletero Balance is typically used for people who want their fine lines treated and want to add a bit more hydration into their lips. It is also a commonly used filler in the tear trough, as well as Juvéderm Volbella. Boletero Balance is an amazing beginner filler product for people who haven’t had filler in their lips before and are uncertain. It is probably one of the best fillers for treating along the lip boarder to reduce any fine lines that go from the upper part of the lip to the lip itself. It is a beautiful filler to use and one that we use often here at Luxe Appearance.
We have many options to suit the wants and needs of different people. We assess what you need and what works for you.
It’s on everyone’s to-do list, must add vitamin C to my skin care regime, but really do we understand the importance of it, or is it just another myth in the whole skin care frenzy. When it comes to the vitamin C debate i’m here to tell you its not a myth.
Acne, pimples, white spots, red spots…it’s enough to drive you crazy. Here’s how to make sure we limit breakouts, improve skin texture and tone, and reduce the chances of more scaring. Waking up after a night of refreshing and restful sleep not only helps add a natural shine to the skin but also helps perk up the mood for the rest of the day.
Retinol is a form of Vitamin A and is one of the few substances that are small enough to penetrate deep into the skin. As it goes so deep into the skin it can stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin. With the best skin care products, Vitamin A is delivered in a sustained release formulation which enhances the skin texture through exfoliation while improving skin tone and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
I feel 10 years younger… what a transformation. Feeling and looking great. I am so happy with the treatment and service of Sarah from Luxe.

My very first visit to Luxe Appearance was a wonderful experience. Sarah is extremely talented in visualising where in my case Botox should be administered for a very natural result. One of the best results I have received after being a regular Botox user over the years. The salon is immaculate with a very professional and friendly atmosphere. I will definitely be back!
