What is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma – a groundbreaking therapy that uses your own blood plasma to regenerate hair follicles. The growth factors found in the plasma stimulate cell renewal and improve circulation in the scalp, naturally promoting hair growth.
How Does the PRP Procedure Work?
- A small amount of blood is drawn from the arm
- The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate components
- The platelet-rich plasma is extracted
- The PRP is injected into the scalp in thinning areas
The procedure takes around 30–45 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis. Since only your own blood is used, there is virtually no risk of allergic reactions or side effects.
Scientific Background
Research has shown that PRP therapy stimulates dormant follicles and improves blood supply in the scalp. The growth factors activate stem cells around the follicles, extending the hair’s growth phase (anagen phase) and improving density and thickness.
Treatment Frequency and Results
Typically, three to four sessions are recommended at intervals of four weeks. Noticeable improvements in hair quality and density can appear within two to three months. Annual touch-up sessions help maintain long-term results.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
- Natural and chemical-free
- Minimally invasive and well-tolerated
- No downtime – patients can return to normal activities immediately
- Can be combined with FUE hair transplantation or microneedling
Conclusion
PRP is a scientifically proven, safe, and natural treatment for hair restoration. By activating your body’s own regenerative processes, PRP offers a sustainable and effective solution to thinning hair.
