Worrying about thinning hair and loss of hair is normal, and almost all of us get perturbed about scalp issues at some point in our lives. However, when hair loss is not arrested early, thinning can become more apparent, leading to feelings of insecurity and dread.
Thankfully, hair loss is temporary in most cases and can be adequately treated with the options available today. One such treatment is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment. PRP is also known as “vampire treatment” as it uses your blood plasma to promote cell regeneration and growth.
During a PRP treatment session, your blood is drawn and a centrifuge is used to spin your blood at high speeds. This helps separate your blood plasma from other components of the blood. When PRP is injected into your scalp, it stimulates your hair follicles and encourages hair growth, and results in an improvement in scalp health.
In this article, we take a look at what PRP is, how effective it is to grow your hair, and how you must prepare yourself for it. WhatsApp us to know more about the cost
What is PRP treatment?
Platelets have long been used to heal wounds, regenerate cells, and treat various health conditions. As platelets have wound-healing properties, researchers realized that they could also help regenerate hair follicles and encourage scalp health. Both of these are necessary for healthy hair growth and improved scalp condition.
During a PRP session, platelet-rich plasma is extracted from the client’s blood and injected into the scalp so that it nourishes the hair follicles. This stimulates dermal papilla cells, which are responsible for healthy hair growth.
Does PRP work for all kinds of hair losses?
How to tell if PRP works for you?
As you can see, PRP has a wide range of applications and can be used in many situations. The only time when it may not be suitable is if you have an autoimmune condition called alopecia areata. To definitively know what type of hair loss you have and if PRP is the right treatment option for you, consult with our hair and scalp specialists.

Can PRP help to regrow hair?
A revolutionary method called platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection may be able to stop hair loss and promote growth of new hair by using your own blood platelets, a type of cell that aids in healing throughout the body.
Is PRP effective for treating hair loss?
For the majority of our patients, PRP micro-needling has proven to be worthwhile in our experience. PRP can still help undo the damaging consequences of premature hair loss, even though it is not as successful as hair transplants and you can save some money by attempting less invasive therapies like Rogaine and Propecia.
Is PRP able to stop hair loss?
Although PRP therapy can significantly enhance your hair’s appearance and thickness, hair loss cannot entirely be stopped by it. Patients who have hair loss or who show signs of male or female pattern baldness often get the best benefits. The therapy using platelet-rich plasma cannot treat baldness.
How long does PRP treatment for hair loss last?
For effective PRP hair treatment outcomes, you must finish a course of four to six treatments, and new hair growth will last for roughly 18 to 24 months. It is advised to get touch-up treatments once a year because PRP is not a permanent solution.
