PRP Therapy for Hair Restoration
PRP is a safe, natural, and evidence-supported treatment that rejuvenates hair using your body's own healing power. Though results vary, it offers a promising solution for many experiencing hair loss. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate hair growth. It harnesses the regenerative power of platelets — rich in growth factors — to revitalize hair follicles, improve hair density, and slow down hair thinning.
How Does It Work?
- Blood Draw: A small sample of your blood is taken, usually from your arm.
- Centrifugation: The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from other components.
- Injection: The concentrated PRP is injected into areas of the scalp with thinning hair.
- Stimulation: Growth factors in PRP help stimulate dormant hair follicles, increase blood supply, and encourage natural hair growth over time.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Is PRP effective for everyone?
PRP works best for individuals with early hair thinning or androgenetic alopecia. It’s less effective for completely bald areas. - How many treatments are needed?
Typically, a series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 4–6 months. - Is the procedure painful?
Mild discomfort may be felt during injections. Numbing cream or a local anesthetic can reduce pain. - Are there side effects?
Because it uses your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction is minimal. Some temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness at injection sites may occur. - How soon will I see results?
Most patients notice improvement in 3–6 months, including reduced shedding, thicker hair, and improved texture. - Is there downtime?
Minimal. Most people resume normal activities the same day. - Can PRP be combined with other treatments?
Yes! PRP can be used alongside topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, or laser therapy for enhanced results.
Who Should Avoid PRP?
People with blood disorders, platelet dysfunction, chronic liver disease, active infections, or those on certain medications (like blood thinners) may not be ideal candidates.
