PRP for Hair Loss (Platelet-Rich Plasma
Therapy)
🌟PRP hair treatment is a non-surgical procedure used to stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness. It’s commonly used for androgenetic alopecia (male/ female pattern hair loss) but can be used for some other types of thinning as well.
🌟How PRP Works
-Blood draw - A small amount of your blood is taken.
-Centrifugation - The blood is spun to concentrate platelets.
-Injection - The platelet-rich plasma is injected into areas of the scalp where hair is thinning.
🌟Platelets contain growth factors that
may:
-Increase blood supply to hair follicles
-Extend the hair growth cycle
-Strengthen existing follicles
-Improve hair density and thickness
🌟Effectiveness
-Works best for mild to moderate androdenetic alopecia
🌟Treatment Schedule
-A common protocol:
1 session every 4-6 weeks for 3-6 sessions
-Maintenance: every 4-6 months
🌟Side Effects
-Generally minimal:
Soreness, swelling, or redness at injection sites
-Mild headache
-Allergy risk is extremely low
🌟Who’s a Good Candidate?
-Men and women with early to moderate thinning
-People who want a natural option
-Those already on Nutrafol, minoxidil or finasteride (PRP often improves results when combined)
