PRP for Hair

  • Description
  • FAQ

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a non-surgical treatment for hair loss that uses your own blood to stimulate hair growth. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the PRP directly into the scalp in areas experiencing hair thinning or hair loss. The platelets contain growth factors that help rejuvenate the scalp and stimulate hair follicles, promoting healthier and thicker hair growth.

PRP therapy begins with a simple blood draw from the patient, which is then processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components of the blood. The resulting PRP is then injected directly into the scalp, specifically into areas where hair thinning or hair loss has occurred. The growth factors within the PRP help to stimulate the dormant hair follicles, promote increased circulation in the scalp, and create an optimal environment for hair regrowth. As a result, patients often experience improved hair density, thickness, and overall hair health over time. PRP therapy is most effective for those in the early stages of hair loss, but it can also benefit individuals with more advanced thinning when used in conjunction with other hair restoration methods.

One of the key benefits of PRP therapy is that it uses the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or side effects that may occur with synthetic treatments. Additionally, PRP therapy is a non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime, making it an appealing option for those seeking a convenient and natural solution for hair loss. While multiple sessions are often required to achieve optimal results, many patients begin to notice visible improvements in hair volume and quality after just a few treatments. With its ability to restore hair growth and improve scalp health, PRP therapy is a safe, effective, and increasingly popular option for individuals looking to combat hair loss and rejuvenate their hair.

PRP therapy is commonly used to treat:
  • Androgenic alopecia (pattern baldness)
  • Telogen effluvium (temporary hair loss caused by stress, illness, or hormonal changes)
  • Diffuse thinning
  • Postpartum hair loss
How Does PRP for Hair Work?
  • Blood Collection: A small amount of blood (usually around 10-20 mL) is drawn from your arm.
  • Platelet Separation: The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, where it is spin to separate the platelets and plasma from the rest of the blood components.
  • Injection: The concentrated PRP is injected into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles, focusing on areas with thinning or bald spots.
  • Hair Follicle Stimulation: The growth factors in the PRP help rejuvenate dormant hair follicles, promote blood circulation in the scalp, and encourage new hair growth.
