PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair treatment is a procedure that uses a concentration of your own blood's platelets to stimulate hair growth and strengthen existing hair. A blood sample is taken, processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, and then injected or micro-needled into the scalp in areas of thinning. The growth factors in the PRP help activate hair follicles and can lead to noticeable results within a few months.   

    • Blood collection:

      A small amount of your blood is drawn from your arm. 

    • Centrifugation:

      The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from other blood nts, concentrating the platelets. 

    • Application:

      The platelet-rich plasma is then injected or applied to the scalp using micro-needling in areas affected by hair thinning. 

    • Stimulation:

      The growth factors in the PRP stimulate hair follicles, increase micro-circulation, and promote new cell growth. 

    • Procedure time:

      A treatment typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. 

      Recovery:

      There is minimal to no downtime. You can usually return to normal activities immediately, though strenuous activity and alcohol may be advised against for 24 hours. Mild discomfort, redness, or swelling is possible but usually subsides within a few days. 

    • Results:

      Patients typically see results within 2 to 3 months, with continued improvement over several months. 

      Treatment plan:

      A course of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results, followed by a maintenance session once a year. 

    • Uses your own blood, making complications minimal.

    • Stimulates dormant hair follicles.

    • Strengthens existing hair and improves hair health.

    • Can be used on its own or as a supplementary treatment to enhance other procedures like hair transplants.

    • Effective for conditions like male patterned baldness and female patterned baldness.
