PRP at a Glance
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your own blood to stimulate hair growth. A small blood sample is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, then injected into your scalp. The growth factors in platelets stimulate dormant hair follicles and improve hair thickness.
How It Works
Who Benefits from PRP?
Good Candidates
- ✓ Early-stage hair thinning
- ✓ Slowing ongoing hair loss
- ✓ Boosting hair transplant results
- ✓ Not ready for transplant surgery
- ✓ Maintaining existing hair
Limited Benefit
- ✕ Completely bald areas (no follicles)
- ✕ Very advanced hair loss
- ✕ Scarring alopecia
- ✕ Expecting dramatic regrowth
Key insight: PRP works best for thinning hair, not bald areas. It strengthens existing follicles rather than creating new ones. Most effective when combined with hair transplants or used early in hair loss.

PRP + Hair Transplant
Why Combine Them?
- Pre-transplant: PRP can strengthen existing hair and improve scalp health before surgery
