How PRP Hair Treatment Works
PRP Hair Treatment works by harnessing the body’s natural healing and regenerative abilities to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health. The process involves extracting platelet-rich plasma from the patient’s own blood and injecting it into areas of the scalp affected by thinning hair or hair loss.
Platelets contain growth factors that play a crucial role in cell regeneration, tissue repair, and blood circulation. When introduced into the scalp, these growth factors work to revitalise dormant hair follicles, encourage stronger, thicker hair growth, and improve hair density over time. The treatment also enhances blood flow to the scalp, providing essential nutrients that help sustain healthy hair follicles and prevent further hair thinning.
PRP therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing early-stage hair loss, androgenic alopecia (pattern baldness), or those looking to improve hair quality and thickness. As a non-surgical and minimally invasive option, PRP offers a safe, natural alternative to traditional hair restoration methods with minimal downtime and long-term benefits.
Benefits of PRP Hair Treatment
PRP Hair Treatment offers a natural, non-surgical approach to hair restoration, helping to stimulate growth, improve hair density, and strengthen hair follicles. Here are the key benefits:
- Stimulates Natural Hair Growth – Reactivates dormant hair follicles and encourages stronger, thicker strands.
- Increases Hair Density and Thickness – Improves blood circulation to the scalp, making hair appear fuller and more voluminous.
- Strengthens Hair Follicles – Helps fortify weak or damaged follicles, reducing breakage and prolonging the growth phase of the hair cycle.
- Non-Surgical and Minimally Invasive – A quick, low-risk procedure with no incisions, scarring, or surgery.
- Uses the Body’s Natural Healing Process – Derived from your own blood plasma, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or complications.
- Minimal Downtime – Allows patients to return to normal activities quickly, with only mild scalp sensitivity after treatment.
- Complements Other Hair Treatments – Can be combined with medications, topical treatments, or hair transplants for enhanced results.
PRP therapy provides a safe, long-term solution for men and women experiencing hair thinning or early-stage hair loss, helping to maintain healthier, stronger hair over time.
What to Expect from PRP Hair Treatment
This non-surgical hair restoration treatment involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and injecting it into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort, and requires no downtime. Some patients may experience mild redness or sensitivity, which typically subsides within 24-48 hours.
Over the following weeks, the growth factors in PRP begin to revitalise hair follicles, leading to thicker, stronger hair and reduced shedding. While some improvement may be noticeable within a few weeks, full results typically develop over three to six months. For optimal outcomes, a series of treatments followed by maintenance sessions every few months is recommended.
Results and Aftercare
Results from PRP hair treatment develop gradually as the growth factors work to stimulate hair follicles and improve scalp health. Some patients notice stronger, healthier hair within a few weeks, while visible hair regrowth typically occurs after three to six months. To achieve optimal results, a series of three to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is usually recommended. Maintenance sessions every four to six months help sustain long-term hair growth and prevent further thinning.
After treatment, patients can return to normal activities immediately, but certain precautions will help maximise results. Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours, excessive sun exposure, or intense workouts for the first 48 hours. It’s also best to use a gentle shampoo and avoid harsh chemical treatments for a few days. Staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet rich in vitamins and nutrients can further support hair regeneration.
