PRP for Hair Loss
What is it?
PRP for hair loss uses the same concentrated platelet technology as facial PRP, but it’s injected directly into the scalp to stimulate dormant hair follicles. The growth factors in PRP help improve blood supply to the follicle and increase the thickness of the hair shaft, making it a popular option for men and women experiencing early to moderate thinning, particularly from androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss).
What to Expect with PRP for Hair Loss
A typical session lasts about 30–45 minutes. After your blood is drawn and processed, the PRP is injected in a grid pattern across the areas of thinning. A topical numbing agent is usually applied to the scalp beforehand to minimize discomfort. Mild tenderness, redness, or swelling at the injection sites is common for a day or two, but there is no significant downtime.
After the Procedure
Because hair growth cycles are slow, most patients don’t notice a difference right away. Initial signs of reduced shedding and new growth are typically seen around 3–4 months, with fuller results developing over 6 months or more. A series of 3–4 initial sessions spaced about a month apart is generally recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every 4–6 months to sustain results.
