PRP for scalp and hair loss is considered very safe, because: PRP therapy is immunologically neutral and carries no risk of allergies, hypersensitivity or reactions to foreign bodies. PRP has a sterile technique that must be used at every stage of PRP preparation and application. It’s very useful when a patient has an underlying medical condition that makes them prone to infection. PRP has a very short period of inflammation at the wound site, reducing any possible injection.

PRP Hair Growth

Q: Does PRP really work for hair growth?

PRP can be effective for many patients experiencing hair thinning or early-stage hair loss, especially androgenetic alopecia. By stimulating dormant or miniaturized hair follicles, PRP may improve hair thickness, density, and overall scalp health. Results vary based on the cause of hair loss, genetics, and consistency of treatment.

Q: How many PRP treatments are needed for hair growth?

Most patients require a series of 3 to 4 PRP sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. After the initial treatment series, maintenance sessions are often recommended once or twice per year to help preserve hair growth and slow further hair loss.

Q: How long does it take to see results from PRP hair treatment?

Early improvements such as reduced shedding may be noticed within 2 to 3 months, while visible increases in hair thickness and density typically develop over 3 to 6 months. Hair growth continues gradually as the follicles respond to the growth factors released by PRP.

What is PRP Hair Growth & How it Works?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) for hair loss is now the latest trend in hair growth and hair loss treatment. PRP therapy for hair loss in men and women is becoming more common and, when used correctly, is proving to be effective in correcting hair loss. Although PRP therapy has been around since the 1980s, doctors have only recently used it to treat certain types of alopecia. Many user experiences have shown good results, and the method is rapidly growing in popularity. A procedure that uses stem cells and growth factors from the patient’s own blood to trigger hair growth from dormant or miniaturized hair follicles.

PRP Hair Growth Results

PRP is not a permanent solution. Generally, one treatment per year is required to maintain results. Also, androgenetic alopecia is caused by the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone) and PRP, which does not mitigate the effects of this hormone. Additional hair loss products and blockers may need to be used for optimal long-term results. Despite some limitations, PRP injections have shown beneficial therapeutic effects on hair loss in men and women, without major side effects in women. It is good to increase the thickness and density of hair loss as a stand-alone treatment or after a hair transplant.

How is PRP Made?

The first step is to draw the patient’s blood into a special 2022 cc tube, which is then spun in a centrifuge for 15 minutes. The centrifuge separates the platelets from the rest of the blood. The end product is plasma that has been separated from white blood. This plasma is pushed aside and gravity causes the platelets to fall out of suspension and collect at the bottom of the tube. This denser area of platelets in the plasma is known as platelet rich plasma, or PRP. 35 times the concentration of platelets and is the key ingredient for success in any PRP procedure. Platelet poor plasma, or PPP, is usually collected from the top of the tube and discarded; or in some cases retained for microneedling treatment after PRP injection.
