PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses your body’s own healing factors to stimulate natural hair growth and strengthen existing hair. It’s especially effective for early-stage hair thinning or as a supportive therapy after transplantation.
How Does PRP Therapy Work?
PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and injecting it into areas of the scalp experiencing hair thinning. The high concentration of growth factors stimulates cell repair, improves circulation, and reactivates weak hair follicles. This regenerative process encourages natural, sustained hair growth.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP?
Individuals with early-stage hair thinning
Men and women experiencing androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss)
Patients looking to avoid surgical hair restoration
Those seeking to enhance results after a hair transplant
People with thinning but still active hair follicles

Visible Results: Gradual improvement in hair density and thickness over several months.
Step-by-Step Procedure
Blood Draw: A small sample of the patient's blood is collected.
Centrifugation: The sample is spun to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
Injection: The PRP is injected into the scalp using fine needles.
Stimulation: Growth factors in PRP promote healing and hair follicle rejuvenation.
