Stimulate hair growth naturally with your body’s own growth factors.
PRP Hair Treatment is an advanced, non-surgical treatment designed to promote hair growth, improve hair density, and strengthen hair follicles using the patient’s own blood. This treatment leverages natural growth factors found in platelets to stimulate hair follicles and encourage regrowth
Treatment areas
PRP injections can be used to treat various areas of the scalp affected by hair thinning and hair loss, including the hairline, crown, and overall scalp.
How it works
The treatment begins with a small blood draw from the patient. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the rest. This concentrated PRP is injected into the areas of the scalp where hair growth is desired, delivering growth factors directly to the hair follicles and stimulating regrowth.
What to expect
Each session typically lasts around 60 minutes. The procedure involves minimal discomfort, as a local anesthetic is applied to the scalp. Results may begin to appear around 4-6 months after the initial treatment, with continued improvement over time. For optimal results, it’s usually recommended to undergo 3-6 treatment sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments every 3-6 months.
After treatment care
After treatment, avoid washing your hair for at least 4-6 hours. Refrain from strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours, and keep the treated area clean, avoiding direct sun exposure.
