What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Treatment?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma, a concentration of growth factors from your own blood, to stimulate follicle activity and help reduce thinning and shedding. It is used to address androgenetic alopecia, hormonal hair loss and selected alopecia cases. Results depend on how much follicular activity remains, so early intervention tends to give better results.
Treatment starts with a standard blood draw. The blood is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into the scalp. Appointments take about 60–90 minutes including the blood draw. It's important to have practical expectations when it comes to the results. As PRP induces natural growth processes, it may take some time for noticeable hair growth to occur, and the outcome may vary. Most people have 3 sessions 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance, and our skilled team can help create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your objectives.
