PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Hair Treatment is an advanced, non-surgical solution for hair loss and thinning. This treatment leverages the regenerative properties of platelets, which are rich in growth factors like platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These factors stimulate the proliferation of dermal papilla cells in hair follicles, prolong the anagen (growth) phase of hair, and improve blood flow to the scalp. By directly injecting PRP into targeted areas, it rejuvenates hair follicles, combats miniaturization, and promotes thicker, healthier hair growth.
The procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient. The blood is then centrifuged to separate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from red blood cells and other components. This concentrated PRP, rich in bioactive proteins and growth factors, is carefully injected into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles. For optimal comfort, local anesthesia can be applied. The process takes about 45-60 minutes, and there’s minimal downtime. PRP works synergistically to stimulate quiescent follicles, strengthen existing hair shafts, and promote vascularization around hair follicles, improving nutrient delivery.
To maximize the benefits of PRP Hair Treatment, follow these recommendations:
PRP is suitable for individuals in the early to moderate stages of androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss), those experiencing postpartum hair loss, or patients looking to enhance the health and density of thinning hair. It’s also effective for improving results post-hair transplant surgery.
Each session lasts approximately 45-60 minutes, including the blood draw, PRP preparation, and targeted scalp injections.
PRP contains essential growth factors like VEGF (enhancing angiogenesis and nutrient supply), TGF-β (promoting extracellular matrix production), and PDGF (stimulating cell proliferation). These factors increase follicle vascularization, reduce follicle miniaturization caused by DHT, and extend the anagen phase of the hair cycle, leading to improved hair density, thickness, and regrowth.
The treatment is minimally invasive, with most patients reporting mild discomfort during injections. A topical numbing cream or local anesthesia can be applied to enhance comfort.
Initial improvements, such as reduced shedding and enhanced hair texture, are noticeable within 2-3 months. Visible hair growth and increased density typically appear after 6 months, with continued improvement over the course of treatment.
Results can last 12-18 months with regular maintenance. For sustained benefits, we recommend periodic follow-up treatments every 6-12 months.
We recommend an initial protocol of 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions tailored to the patient’s progress and needs.
Side effects are minimal, including temporary redness, swelling, or mild tenderness at the injection sites. Since PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or infections is extremely low.
Yes, PRP is a safe and autologous treatment, meaning it uses the patient’s own plasma, eliminating the risk of rejection or allergic reactions. It is performed by trained professionals in a sterile environment.
Yes, PRP can be combined with other treatments like hair mesotherapy, topical or oral medications (finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil), and microneedling for enhanced hair restoration results.
Discontinuing PRP may lead to the gradual return of hair loss and thinning over time. Maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain the benefits and prevent further hair loss.
You can expect noticeable improvements in hair density, thickness, and quality. PRP revitalizes dormant hair follicles, improves scalp health, and enhances the overall appearance of your hair.
