DR-Hair provides doctor-administered PRP hair treatment at our clinic in Petaling Jaya. Every course begins with non-invasive scalp analysis (Trichoscopy), followed by three to four injection sessions spaced one month apart. PRP works best on early to moderate thinning, and is usually combined with foundation medication.

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, uses your own blood to stimulate hair follicles that have started to weaken. We draw a small sample of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, then inject it across the areas of your scalp where hair density has dropped.
Those concentrated platelets carry growth factors, principally PDGF, VEGF and EGF. They signal follicles to re-enter their active growth phase and improve the blood supply reaching the root. Existing hairs thicken, and shedding slows down.

PRP Hair treatment is RM299 for the first trial (NP: RM500).
The number of sessions you need depends on how much of your thinning is still reversible.
One thing worth knowing upfront. PRP does not change the genetics behind hair loss, so most patients return for maintenance every three to six months once the initial course is complete. Plan for that now rather than be surprised by it later. Our guide sets out what PRP costs across a full treatment plan.
We draw between 10ml and 20ml from your arm, comparable to a routine blood test. Under five minutes.
Your sample spins for roughly ten minutes in a medical-grade centrifuge. What comes out is a plasma layer carrying three to five times the platelet concentration of ordinary circulating blood.
Your doctor delivers a series of micro-injections across the thinning zones mapped during your scalp analysis, placed at the depth where the follicle responds. Numbing cream goes on first, and most patients describe brief pinpricks rather than pain.
The whole appointment runs 45 to 60 minutes, of which only 10 to 15 minutes is injection time. There is minimal downtime, so plenty of our patients book over lunch and head back to the office.
PRP works on follicles that have weakened rather than follicles that are gone. That single distinction usually shapes most of what we recommend.
This form of hair loss is the most common reason patients come to us. If your hairline is receding or your crown is thinning but the follicles are still producing fine, weak hairs, PRP has living tissue to work with.
Heavy shedding after illness, stress or childbirth usually recovers on its own. PRP shortens that recovery rather than replacing it.
PRP before surgery strengthens the donor area. Afterwards it supports graft survival and thickens the native hair between grafts, which is often what makes the overall result look natural.
Your scalp analysis tells us which of these applies to you. That is why we do it before quoting anything.
Where an area of scalp has been smooth for several years, the follicle is no longer present and injections cannot restore it. Those cases are better served by a transplant assessment, and we will say so at consultation.
Outcomes are also reduced by low platelet counts, chronic liver conditions, blood disorders and smoking, since the quality of your plasma reflects the quality of your blood. Active scalp infections are treated first. Alopecia areata requires a medical assessment because treatment differs from pattern hair loss. Where appropriate, we may recommend co-management with a dermatologist.
PRP stimulates follicles. It does not block DHT, which is the hormonal driver behind most pattern hair loss.
That is why we treat PRP as one component rather than a standalone answer. For most patients with pattern loss, the plan starts with a foundation of minoxidil and finasteride where clinically appropriate, with PRP working on top of it to stimulate the follicles that foundation is protecting. Where an iron deficiency, thyroid issue or scalp inflammation is contributing, that gets addressed too.
If PRP alone is not the right answer, we can move you to PRF or exosome therapy without starting over, or assess whether a transplant is the better route. For a side-by-side look at every option, see our guide to how PRP compares with other hair loss treatments.
Your first visit is a 60-minute assessment, not a treatment. We run a digital scan to map follicle density and measure miniaturisation across your scalp, review your medical history, and work out what is actually driving your hair loss.
Your first appointment includes a blood draw, processing the plasma and injection into the scalp. It is usually done between 45 minutes to an hour, though the injection itself only takes 10 to 15 minutes.
Spaced roughly one month apart. Three to four sessions form the initial course, and the effect builds cumulatively, so keeping to schedule matters.
Most patients return every three to six months to hold the density they have gained.
Reduced shedding usually comes first, often after the second session. Visible regrowth typically begins around month three. Fuller density generally shows around month six, which tends to be when other people start noticing.
A completed course generally holds for 12 to 18 months. Response varies between individuals, which is part of why we assess before we treat.
PRP is a treatment that is well tolerated.
Side effects such as mild scalp tenderness, slight swelling for around 24 hours, and pinpoint bleeding at the injection sites are all normal and settle on their own.
You will get full preparation and aftercare instructions at your consultation. The essentials are stopping blood thinners such as aspirin and fish oil about a week before, leaving your hair unwashed for 24 hours afterwards, and avoiding heavy sweating for the same period. Full detail sits in our guide to preparing for and recovering from PRP.
At DR-Hair, we provide you with hair restoration care that’s both professional and personal. We guide you through each session and track your progress, helping you achieve lasting results and the confidence that comes with them.
PRP is an invasive medical procedure. In Malaysia, aesthetic injections may only be performed by a doctor holding a Letter of Credentialing and Privileging issued by the Ministry of Health.
Every patient starts with non-invasive scalp mapping (Trichoscopy). The same thinning pattern can have several different causes, and knowing which one you have is what makes the treatment plan worth following.
We build plans around foundation medication, regenerative therapy and scalp health together, because that combination is what international protocols support.
PRP, PRF, exosome therapy and scalp care under one roof, so adjusting your plan does not mean starting again somewhere else.
PRP for the first trial costs RM299 at trial price (NP: RM500). Following your scalp analysis, the number of sessions required depends on your assessment.
Three to four spaced one month apart, then maintenance every three to six months.
Most patients describe brief pinpricks. Numbing cream is applied first and each injection lasts a second or two.
Results vary by individual. Reduced shedding and improved hair texture typically appear within 3 to 4 months, with noticeable density and new growth becoming visible at 6 months as the follicle cycle completes.
For most patients with pattern hair loss, yes. Medication addresses the hormonal cause while PRP stimulates the follicles. Your doctor will advise what suits your case at consultation.
Yes. Women more often present with a widening part than a receding hairline, and PRP suits that pattern well.
Yes, and it is commonly recommended to support graft survival and thicken the surrounding hair.
Start with a scalp analysis first before any treatment package. Your consultation covers trichoscopic scalp mapping, a review of your history, and a clear answer on what PRP can do for your particular pattern of hair loss.
