PRP Hair Loss Treatment

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair loss treatment performed by Dr Davin Lim at Cutis Clinic Brisbane. Blood is drawn, centrifuged to concentrate growth factors, and injected into the scalp to stimulate follicle activity and slow androgenic hair loss. Local ring block anaesthesia is available. Optional microneedling or laser-assisted delivery enhances absorption. PRP is also used pre-operatively in FUE procedures to improve graft survival. No Medicare rebate applies.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for hair loss at Cutis Clinic Indooroopilly is led by Dr Davin Lim, a cosmetic dermatologist who integrates PRP into both standalone hair loss management and surgical hair transplant protocols. PRP is drawn from the patient's own blood, concentrated by centrifugation to extract the platelet-rich fraction rich in PDGF, VEGF, and other growth factors, and then injected directly into areas of thinning or active hair loss on the scalp. The standard standalone protocol involves three initial sessions spaced approximately one month apart, establishing a foundation for follicle stimulation. Maintenance sessions are then scheduled every 3–6 months depending on individual response. The treatment addresses androgenic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss) and may also be used for diffuse thinning and alopecia areata in select cases. Local anaesthesia (ring block or nitrous oxide numbing gas) is offered to minimise discomfort from scalp injections. For patients seeking enhanced absorption and depth of delivery, Dr Davin Lim offers PRP combined with fractional laser or microneedling — micro-channels created by these modalities allow growth factors to penetrate deeper into the dermis where follicle stem cells reside. The combined session is priced between $450 and $650. One of the distinctive clinical applications at Cutis Clinic is the use of PRP pre-operatively and during FUE hair transplant surgery. Growth factors in PRP create a favourable scalp environment that improves graft survival during the critical early healing period, contributing to the clinic's documented 95–98% survival rate at 12 months. There is no Medicare rebate for cosmetic PRP treatment in Australia. The clinic is located in Indooroopilly, western Brisbane — approximately 10 minutes from the Brisbane CBD and accessible from across South East Queensland, including the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
