What Is It?
PRP for hair loss is the same treatment as PRP hair — autologous platelet-rich plasma injected into the scalp to stimulate follicular activity and reduce hair shedding. It is most effective as a maintenance or early intervention treatment, and as an adjunct to hair transplant surgery to improve graft survival.
How It Works
PRP is prepared from the patient's blood and injected in a grid pattern across the scalp. The growth factors activate follicle stem cells and extend the growth phase. When used post-hair-transplant, PRP is injected at the transplant session to support graft integration and reduce shock loss.
Realistic Results
Improved hair density, reduced shedding, and prolonged hair follicle health over a series of treatments. Annual maintenance sessions help sustain the effect. As an adjunct to hair transplant, PRP can improve graft survival by up to 15%.
Recovery
No downtime. Mild soreness and redness of the scalp for 24 hours. Hair can be washed normally after 24 hours.
Risks & Complications
- !Variable response depending on hair loss type and severity
- !Temporary soreness at injection sites
- !Infection if sterility is not maintained
- !Ineffective for advanced alopecia with no viable follicles
