Hair Loss Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
How PRP for Hair Loss Works
Blood Collection:
- Procedure: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient’s arm, similar to a routine blood test.
- Processing: The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, which spins at high speeds to separate the blood components. This process isolates the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
Preparation of PRP:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma: The result is a concentration of platelets in a small volume of plasma. Platelets are rich in growth factors, which are essential for tissue repair and regeneration.
Injection into Scalp:
- Targeted Treatment: The PRP is injected into the scalp, focusing on areas affected by hair thinning or loss. The injections are typically administered using a fine needle.
- Distribution: The growth factors in PRP help to stimulate hair follicles, enhance blood flow, and promote the growth of new, healthy hair.
Benefits of PRP for Hair Loss
Natural Treatment:
- Autologous: PRP therapy uses the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or infections. It’s a natural approach to hair restoration.
Stimulates Hair Growth:
- Follicle Activation: The growth factors in PRP can reactivate dormant hair follicles, leading to increased hair density and improved quality of existing hair.
Non-Surgical:
- Minimally Invasive: PRP is a non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime, making it an appealing option for those who prefer to avoid invasive treatments.
Improves Scalp Health:
- Enhanced Blood Flow: PRP therapy improves blood circulation in the scalp, which can enhance the overall health of the hair follicles and the scalp environment.
Customized Treatment:
- Personalized Approach: Treatment can be tailored based on individual hair loss patterns and needs, offering a personalized approach to hair restoration.
Treatment Protocol
Consultation:
- Assessment: A consultation with a qualified practitioner is essential to evaluate the cause of hair loss, discuss expectations, and determine if PRP therapy is suitable.
Sessions:
- Frequency: PRP treatments typically involve a series of sessions. Initial treatments are usually performed 4-6 weeks apart, with a common recommendation of 3-4 sessions for optimal results.
- Maintenance: Maintenance sessions may be needed every 4-6 months to sustain results.
Procedure:
- Duration: The entire PRP session, including blood draw, processing, and injections, usually takes about 60-90 minutes.
- Discomfort: Patients may experience mild discomfort or a sensation of pressure during the injections, but this is generally well-tolerated.
Post-Treatment Care:
- Aftercare: Patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous activities and excessive heat or sun exposure immediately after the procedure. Gentle hair care is recommended.
Ideal Candidates
- Early-Stage Hair Loss: PRP therapy is most effective for individuals with early-stage hair loss or thinning, including those with androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness).
- Non-Surgical Preference: Those seeking a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment option for hair restoration.
PRP therapy for hair loss is a promising and innovative treatment that utilizes the body’s natural growth factors to promote hair regeneration and improve scalp health. By stimulating hair follicles and enhancing the overall environment of the scalp, PRP offers a non-invasive alternative for individuals looking to address hair loss and achieve healthier, fuller hair. Consulting with a qualified practitioner is essential to determine the suitability of PRP therapy and to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Results often last 6 to 12 months, but this varies from person to person. It takes about 3 months to see optimal results and determine whether you’ll need additional sessions to achieve your ideal outcome. Studies have shown PRP can significantly increase hair count and hair density within these first 3 months. Once you’re happy with your growth, you can maintain it with treatments once or twice a year or more as needed.
For at least 48 hours and up to a week before your treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (with your doctor’s permission), as well as NSAIDs, alcohol, and anti-inflammatory medications. You do not need to shave your hair before your treatment. On the day of your session, plan to arrive with clean hair free of any gels, sprays, or styling products.
In recent years, several scientific studies and clinical trials have shown that the high concentration of platelets in plasma is efficient to regrow hair in both men and women suffering from excessive hair loss, hair thinning, and pattern baldness.
It depends on the individual and on the stage of your hair loss, age, hormones, and other factors.
Usually, we recommend a course of 3 to 6 injections, administered on a monthly basis for optimal results. We also recommend a maintenance treatment every six months or once a year.
