Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a popular treatment for patients experiencing hair thinning and early hair loss who are seeking a minimally invasive option.
Scientifically researched PRP therapy is a non-surgical procedure for hair regrowth, addressing both male and female pattern baldness and alopecia by encouraging the regrowth of existing hair follicles, making hair appear fuller and healthier.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an evidence-based, non-surgical, three-step procedure that involves drawing your own blood, centrifuging it to concentrate platelets, and injecting the concentrated platelets back into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, reduce shedding, and increase density.
The treatment works by using your body’s own growth factors to support hair follicle health and encourage natural hair regeneration. When injected directly into the scalp, PRP improves blood supply to hair follicles, encouraging regrowth and halting hair shedding.
PRP for hair loss may be suitable for individuals experiencing:
PRP can also be helpful for patients experiencing early-stage hair loss and thinning around the hairline, particularly in cases of receding hairlines. That said, the treatment will be most effective when hair follicles are still active. At Aventis, we’ll offer you a free consultation to assess whether PRP is the right treatment for your specific type of hair loss.
See our before-and-after gallery.
The first stage of the procedure begins with a small blood sample, which is then centrifuged. This process uses high-speed centrifugation to separate PRP from other blood components.
The harvested PRP is then carefully injected into targeted areas of your scalp where the hair thinning is most prominent. The whole procedure typically takes no more than 1 hour, and patients can typically expect to resume daily activities quickly afterwards.
Benefits of PRP hair loss treatment may include:
Does PRP regrow hair permanently?
PRP can stimulate existing hair follicles, improving hair thickness, but it is not a permanent cure for hair loss. As conditions like male- and female-pattern hair loss are progressive, maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results.
Is PRP painful?
Most patients find the hair loss treatment tolerable, as a topical numbing cream and local anaesthetic are used to minimise discomfort during the injections. At most, you’ll feel mild pressure in the scalp or small pinpricks.
How many PRP sessions do I need?
We recommend an initial course of 3-4 treatments for most patients, spread over 4-6 weeks. Following your initial course, maintenance will be recommended every 6-12 months to maintain your results.
How long do PRP results last?
Results will develop gradually, with most patients noticing improvements to hair density and reduced shedding in 3-6 months.
