Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses a concentrated portion of a patient's own blood, rich in healing platelets and growth factors, to support the body's natural repair process.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss is a medical treatment that uses injections of a concentrated protein solution from your own blood to stimulate hair growth and thicken thinning hair..
How It Stimulates Hair Growth
-
Releases Growth Factors: Platelets release growth factors that support tissue repair and may help stimulate hair follicle activity.
-
Supports Blood Supply: PRP may promote blood flow around the follicles, supporting oxygen and nutrient delivery.
-
Supports Hair Growth: PRP may help prolong the active growth phase and improve hair thickness and density over time.
Results vary from person to person and depend on factors such as the cause and extent of hair loss, overall health, and response to treatment.
Hair growth takes time. Some patients may notice early improvements within 2–3 months, with more noticeable results typically developing over 3–6 months. Results vary from person to person, and a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
PRP is generally considered a safe, minimally invasive treatment that uses your own blood. Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as soreness, redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. As with any injection, there are potential risks, which can be discussed during your consultation.
