An Overview of PRP for Hair Loss

PRP stands for platelet rich plasma. Platelets are found in your blood and contain growth factors that support healing and cell repair.

During PRP hair treatment:

• A small amount of blood is taken from your arm

• The blood is processed to separate the platelet rich plasma

• The PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp

Because PRP comes from your own blood, it is considered safe and well tolerated when performed by a qualified medical professional.

How PRP Works for Hair Loss

PRP does not create new hair follicles. Instead, it helps existing follicles work more effectively.

PRP hair therapy may:

• Improve blood supply to the scalp

• Stimulate weakened or dormant follicles

• Extend the growth phase of the hair cycle

• Improve hair thickness and quality

This makes PRP most effective for people who still have active hair follicles rather than advanced bald areas.

Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP

PRP hair loss treatment is commonly recommended for:

• Early to moderate hair thinning

• Androgenetic alopecia in men and women

• Patients looking to slow hair loss progression

• Those who want to support hair transplant results

A consultation is important to determine whether PRP is suitable, as results vary depending on hair loss stage and overall scalp health.
