PRP Therapy for Hair Loss

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a non-surgical treatment that uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate hair follicles. It won't replace lost hair like a transplant, but it can help slow shedding and support thicker growth — often used alongside other treatments.

Overview

What is PRP Hair Loss Treatment?

A small sample of your blood is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. This plasma is then injected into the scalp to encourage follicle activity and improve the environment for hair growth.

PRP is typically delivered as a course of sessions (often 3–4 to start, then maintenance), and results build gradually. It's frequently combined with medication or a transplant rather than used entirely on its own.

FAQs

PRP Hair Loss Treatment — common questions

Does PRP regrow hair?
PRP is best at slowing loss and thickening existing hair rather than regrowing bald areas. It works on follicles that are still alive but weakening, so earlier intervention tends to help more.
How many PRP sessions do I need?
A common starting course is 3–4 sessions a few weeks apart, followed by maintenance every few months. A clinic will tailor this to your response.
Is PRP safe?
Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is very low. Mild scalp soreness or swelling for a day or two is the usual extent of side effects.
Can I have PRP with a transplant?
Yes — many clinics use PRP alongside or after a transplant to support healing and protect existing hair. It's a common combination.
