PRP hair therapy uses platelet-rich plasma derived from your blood to stimulate hair follicles, promote growth, and improve hair density. Dr. Hair offers advanced scalp rejuvenation with PRP and exosome therapy to restore thinning hair and stimulate growth. Using cutting-edge regenerative techniques, treatments are personalized for optimal density, scalp health, and follicle activation.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair treatment uses your own blood to boost hair growth. Blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, which contain healing growth factors. These factors are injected into the scalp to treat common thinning (like androgenetic alopecia), making it a low-risk option.
First, a doctor takes a small blood sample from your arm. Next, the blood sample is spun in a machine called a centrifuge. This spinning separates the plasma, which is rich in platelets, from the other blood components (like red blood cells).
The key part is the platelets. These platelets contain many growth factors—natural compounds like PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β, and IGF-1.. These factors are known to help the body heal and repair itself. When put into the scalp, these factors help create a healthier environment for hair to grow.
The growth factors in PRP may help keep hair follicles in the anagen (growth phase) for a longer time. They also help improve the blood supply to the follicles.
Swelling, or inflammation, can cause hair follicles to shrink (miniaturization) in pattern hair loss. PRP may help cut down on this harmful swelling.
Studies show that PRP can make dermal papilla cells more active. These cells are essential because they control the entire cycle of hair growth.
The factors in PRP support angiogenesis (the creation of new, tiny blood vessels). This helps more oxygen and important nutrients reach the hair follicles.
PRP is often recommended for adults experiencing:
Early to moderate androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss)
Diffuse thinning
Postpartum or stress-related shedding (after medical evaluation)
Those seeking a non-surgical option to support hair density
Patients combining PRP with minoxidil or finasteride for enhanced results
PRP tends to be most effective when follicles are still active. It is less effective for long-standing bald areas where follicles are severely miniaturized or absent.
A technician draws a small amount of blood, usually 1 to 3 tablespoons, from the patient’s arm.
The blood is placed into a machine called a centrifuge. This machine spins the blood very fast to separate the PRP from the red blood cells. Some clinics spin the blood twice to get a higher concentration of platelets.
Sometimes, the doctor will add a small amount of a substance (like calcium chloride) to the PRP before injection. This is done to activate the platelets and make them release the growth factors faster. Other doctors let the platelets activate naturally once they are in the scalp tissue.
The doctor uses very fine needles to put the concentrated PRP into the scalp where the hair is thinning. A numbing cream or local anesthetic is often used to keep the patient comfortable during the injections. Patients may feel some pressure or minor discomfort.
Most people resume normal activity immediately. Patients typically avoid harsh hair products, saunas, alcohol, and exercise for 24 hours.
Safe: It uses your own blood, meaning there is a very low risk of allergic reaction.
Quick Recovery: You can usually go back to your day right away.
Better Hair: It can improve the thickness and diameter of your current hair.
Good Combination: It works well alongside other hair loss treatments.
Non-Surgical: It’s a great option if you want to avoid surgery.
For Everyone: It is suitable for both men and women.
Clinical studies generally show that PRP provides real, noticeable improvements in density and hair shaft width when used on a regular, consistent schedule.
Number of Sessions: Typically 3 to 4 sessions are needed.
Frequency: One session is usually given every 4 to 6 weeks.
After the initial treatment, most patients need a single maintenance session every 4 to 6 months to keep the benefits going.
Based on clinical reports, here is the typical timeline:
3 months: Shedding usually begins to decrease.
4–6 months: You may start to see early changes in hair thickness and density.
6–12 months: Peak visible results are usually seen after the maintenance phase has begun.
Keep in mind that results are not the same for everyone. They depend on the cause of your hair loss, how severe it is, the concentration of platelets used, and if you are using other treatments too.
PRP is considered very safe, but some mild and temporary effects can happen:
Tenderness or mild pain in the scalp.
Slight swelling or bruising.
A headache.
Temporary redness.
Small spots of bleeding at the injection sites.
Serious problems are rare when a trained and experienced doctor performs the treatment.
PRP is not recommended for people with certain health issues, such as platelet disorders, severe anemia, or an active infection on the scalp. Always have a healthcare professional look over your medical history before starting.
Minoxidil works like a drug to directly stimulate hair follicles.
PRP uses natural biological growth factors from your blood.
The Best: Using both together often gives better results.
Finasteride works by lowering the level of the hormone DHT, which slows down the shrinking of the follicle.
PRP supports the health of the follicle but does not change hormones.
The Best: Many doctors use both treatments together for men dealing with pattern hair loss.
Transplant surgery moves existing hair follicles to bald areas. It creates new coverage.
PRP does not create new follicles.
The Best: PRP is often used to help the transplanted grafts survive better and to improve the overall density of the surrounding hair after surgery.

You can help make your PRP treatment as successful as possible by:
Staying on schedule: Do not skip your initial or maintenance sessions.
Combining treatments: Use other proven hair loss therapies as your doctor advises (like minoxidil, finasteride, or laser therapy).
Keeping your scalp clean: Maintain good scalp hygiene.
Addressing other health issues: If you have low iron, thyroid issues, or hormone imbalances, get them treated.
Protecting your hair: Avoid harsh chemicals, tight hairstyles that pull the hair (traction), and excessive heat damage.
