PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your own platelets to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair regrowth. It’s a natural approach to achieving thicker, fuller hair by activating hair follicles with concentrated growth factors.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative and natural treatment for hair loss, utilizing your own blood to stimulate hair follicles. It is widely recognized in aesthetic dermatology for promoting hair growth and improving the density of thinning hair. PRP works by harnessing the healing properties of platelets, which contain growth factors that aid in tissue repair and regeneration.
How PRP Treatment Works?During PRP therapy, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to separate the plasma rich in growth factors and platelets. This concentrated PRP is then injected into targeted areas of the scalp, particularly where hair thinning or loss is most noticeable. The growth factors in PRP boost the health of hair follicles, encouraging them to enter an active growth phase and improve hair density.
Why Dermatologists Recommend PRP for Hair Loss?PRP treatment is a highly sought-after option for hair restoration due to its minimally invasive nature, effectiveness, and natural origin. Since the procedure uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects is significantly reduced. PRP therapy is often recommended for patients with early-stage hair thinning or androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness).
Key Benefits of PRP for Hair LossPRP therapy is ideal for individuals experiencing hair thinning, those with androgenetic alopecia, or those seeking a natural approach to hair restoration. Candidates should be in the early stages of hair loss for the best results, as PRP helps revive dormant follicles and slow the progression of hair thinning.
Expected Downtime and Recovery
PRP therapy involves minimal downtime. After the treatment, patients may experience mild swelling or redness at the injection sites, but these symptoms typically subside within a few hours to a day. Results begin to show over the next three to six months as hair follicles are stimulated to produce new hair.

Typically, a series of 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results, with maintenance sessions every few months.
PRP has minimal side effects, with mild redness or soreness that resolves quickly. Since it’s derived from your own blood, PRP is safe and has a low risk of adverse reactions.
