The Technique
Learn how platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can help you
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to promote hair growth and reduce scarring from hair transplant surgery. The treatment involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient and then processing it to concentrate the platelets, growth factors, and other beneficial substances found in the blood.
The scalp PRP treatment involves injecting the concentrated PRP directly into the patient’s scalp, where it can stimulate hair follicles and promote new hair growth. This can be an effective treatment for both men and women who are experiencing hair loss or thinning.
In addition to promoting hair growth, scalp PRP can also be used to smooth out the scars left behind by hair transplant surgery. By injecting the PRP into the scar tissue, the growth factors and other substances can help to regenerate the damaged tissue and improve the appearance of the scar.
Scalp PRP treatments typically require multiple sessions to achieve the best results, and the exact number of sessions required will depend on the individual patient’s needs and goals. Most patients begin to see results within a few months of starting treatment, and the results can last for up to a year or more.
It’s important to note that scalp PRP therapy is not a guaranteed solution for hair loss or scarring, and results can vary from person to person. However, it can be a safe and effective option for many patients who are looking for a non-surgical way to promote hair growth and improve the appearance of their scalp

PRP therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to promote hair growth, while other treatments such as hair transplant surgery or topical medications may be more invasive or require ongoing use.
