Support Your Hair Health from the Inside Out: PRP + Nutrient Infusion at Tx Bar

June 12, 2025

At Tx Bar, we take a holistic, evidence-informed approach to hair and scalp health. For clients exploring Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment for hair loss, we now offer the option of combining your PRP sessions with a Vitamin C and Zinc intravenous infusion, designed to support your overall wellness and optimise nutrient levels.

What is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a treatment where a small sample of your own blood is processed to isolate plasma enriched with platelets. This concentrate is then carefully injected into the scalp in areas experiencing hair thinning or loss.

PRP is widely used in the medical field for its potential to support tissue regeneration and repair. In aesthetic medicine, PRP is often selected by patients wishing to explore non-surgical options for scalp and skin rejuvenation.

Please note: As per Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) guidance, PRP is considered an autologous treatment and is not subject to TGA regulation. However, its advertising is subject to strict rules, including not making guaranteed outcome claims.

The Role of Nutrient Infusions

Vitamin C and Zinc are well-known nutrients involved in normal immune function, collagen synthesis, and cellular repair. Zinc also contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin, and is often included in diets or supplements targeting overall health.

When delivered via intravenous (IV) infusion, these nutrients bypass the digestive system and are absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This route may be beneficial for individuals with compromised absorption or increased metabolic demands.

Intravenous Vitamin C and Zinc are prescription-only treatments at Tx Bar. IV infusions are administered by qualified medical professionals in accordance with National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and clinical governance guidelines. TGA-approved ingredients are used where applicable.

Why Combine PRP with Vitamin Infusion?

While PRP works locally at the site of injection, the IV infusion provides a systemic boost, aiming to support the body’s ability to repair, recover, and maintain healthy tissue function — including the scalp and hair follicles.

This integrative approach may be suitable for individuals who:

  • Are nutritionally depleted or experiencing chronic stress

  • Want to complement their in-clinic hair treatments with internal support

  • Prefer medically supervised treatment pathways

We do not claim that vitamin infusions prevent or cure hair loss. Results vary based on individual health, hair condition, and response to treatment.
