PRP for Hair Loss

In this video you'll learn the real limits of PRP and the key tip you shouldn't miss.

How PRP works

Your doctor draws a small amount of blood, spins it fast in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, then injects that rich plasma right where the hair is thinning.

What PRP can do

Some people notice a modest thickening of each hair and a bit less shedding after a few months of treatment.

What PRP can't do

PRP won't grow hair where the follicles are gone, it doesn't cure the underlying condition, and any gains fade without ongoing care.

Typical treatment timeline

Most patients start seeing visible changes after three to six months of regular sessions.

Typical PRP course

A dermatologist first examines your scalp, takes photos, draws about ten to twenty milliliters of blood, spins it for ten to fifteen minutes, and then you follow a series of injections spaced a few weeks apart.

Safety and who should do it

Make sure a qualified doctor oversees the whole process, that all needles and tubes are single-use, and that the clinic follows strict hygiene standards.

The one key question

The one thing you must ask your doctor is how long the results are expected to last and what maintenance schedule they recommend to keep the benefits.
