PRP Hair Restoration: What to Expect Before Your First Treatment

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment that uses your body's own growth factors to help stimulate hair follicles.

The treatment begins with a small blood sample. The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into targeted areas of the scalp.

PRP is generally most effective for individuals experiencing:

• Early-stage hair thinning

• Increased hair shedding

• Mild to moderate pattern hair loss

Because the treatment uses your own plasma, there is no risk of an allergic reaction.

Most treatment plans include an initial series of sessions approximately one month apart, followed by maintenance treatments based on individual needs. Many patients notice reduced hair shedding first, while thicker, healthier hair may become visible over the following 3–6 months.

Results vary from person to person, and a consultation can help determine whether PRP is an appropriate option for your type of hair loss.
