What is PRP Hair Therapy?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Hair Therapy is an advanced, non-surgical treatment that stimulates natural hair growth using your body's own platelets. This procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the PRP into the scalp to rejuvenate hair follicles and promote thicker, healthier hair.

Why Do Patients Choose PRP Hair Therapy?

PRP therapy is a popular choice for individuals experiencing hair thinning or early-stage hair loss. It is a safe and natural approach that helps strengthen existing hair, improve scalp health, and enhance hair density without surgery or synthetic medications.

Who is Not a Candidate for PRP Hair Therapy?

PRP hair treatment may not be suitable for individuals with advanced hair loss, certain medical conditions, or those taking specific medications that affect platelet function. A consultation with a specialist is essential to determine if PRP therapy is the right option for you.

Does PRP Hair Therapy Require Anesthesia?

No general anesthesia is needed for PRP therapy. A topical numbing cream or local anesthesia may be applied to the scalp to minimize discomfort during the injections. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure.

How is PRP Hair Therapy Performed?

PRP hair restoration follows a three-step process:

1. Blood Draw – A small sample of your blood is collected.
2. PRP Processing – The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components.
3. Scalp Injections – The concentrated PRP is carefully injected into areas of hair thinning to stimulate hair follicles and encourage growth.

What Are the Risks and Side Effects of PRP Hair Therapy?

PRP therapy is a low-risk treatment since it uses the patient’s own blood. Mild side effects such as temporary redness, swelling, or slight tenderness at the injection site may occur, but they typically subside within a few hours to a few days.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from PRP Hair Therapy?

There is no downtime required after PRP therapy. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately, though it is recommended to avoid washing the hair or using harsh chemicals on the scalp for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

What Results Can I Expect from PRP Hair Therapy?

Hair regrowth results vary, but most patients notice improvements in hair thickness and density within three to six months. Multiple sessions, usually spaced one month apart, are recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments every six to twelve months help sustain long-term hair growth.
