PRP Hair (Platelet-rich plasma)
A Non-Surgical ALTERNATIVE for Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss
Without the side effects from prescription drugs, PRP is a non-surgical solution for hair loss. A low-risk procedure that prevent hair loss and promotes new hair growth. PRP can also aid in the stimulation of hair growth after hair transplants.
Growth factors from PRP work together to jump start dormant hair follicle into growth stage. Hair shaft gets larger, healthier and hair grows.
PRP – Platelet-rich plasma, is derived from your own blood via a process called “autologous” transplantation” promotes healing when injected. Plasma contains proteins that support cell growth, regeneration, increased collagen – and healing.
HOW PRP WORKS?
PRP injections are used for a range of conditions. From musculoskeletal pain, arthritis and sports injuries, to skin rejuvenation and hair loss.
The non-surgical option treatment uses a patient’s own blood cells to accelerate healing in a specific area.
To prepare PRP, blood is taken from your arm with a special kit similar to a normal blood test. It is then placed in a special centrifugation machine that separates the platelets from the blood in order to be extracted in a concentrated form called PRP.
Platelets contain healing growth factors that act as signals to instruct your tissue to multiply and regenerate new blood vessels. This brings fresh oxygen along with other growth factors to the scalp and skin cells to replace old and damaged cells and regenerate new and elastic collagen and hair follicles.
HOW?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for hair restoration involves a simple injection of your own platelets into the vascular layer of your scalp.
PRP injections have been shown to be effective in both, preventing hair loss and promoting new hair growth. PRP can also aid in the stimulation of hair growth after hair transplants.

What are the side effects of PRP?
Given that PRP is derived from your own blood, there is no chance of having an allergy or immune reaction and scientific data has shown that side effects or complications of PRP injection are extremely rare. Because PRP is a substance derived from one’s own blood, it is not considered a drug. FDA clearance means that doctors can prescribe and administer PRP if they believe it’s in the best interest of the patient.
