What is PRP for hair treatment?
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a non-surgical hair restoration procedure that utilizes the patient's
own blood to stimulate hair growth. The procedure involves extracting a small amount of blood,
processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the PRP into the scalp.
How does PRP promote hair growth?
PRP contains growth factors that help stimulate the hair follicles, promoting hair growth and
improving hair thickness. It also enhances blood supply to the hair follicles, promoting a healthier
scalp environment.
Who is a suitable candidate for PRP hair treatment?
PRP is generally suitable for individuals experiencing early stages of hair loss, those with thinning
hair, or individuals looking to maintain existing hair growth. It is important to consult with our
specialists to determine individual candidacy.
How long does a PRP hair treatment session take?
A typical PRP session can take approximately 60-90 minutes, including blood extraction,
processing, and the actual PRP injection.
How many PRP sessions are recommended for optimal results?
The number of sessions can vary based on individual needs and the severity of hair loss. Typically, a
series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart may be recommended, followed by maintenance
sessions as needed.
Is PRP for hair treatment painful?
Discomfort is generally minimal. A topical anaesthetic may be applied to the scalp before the procedure to minimize any discomfort during the injections.

How soon can results be expected after PRP treatment?
