PRP FOR HAIR RESTORATION – FAQ
- 01
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a treatment that uses your own blood. We draw a small amount, process it to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and then inject it into the scalp. These growth factors may help support and strengthen hair follicles, improve hair thickness, and slow the progression of some types of hair loss. PRP is often used as a non-surgical treatment or as a complement to hair transplant.

PRP may be right for you if: ● You have early to moderate thinning, rather than complete baldness ● You want to support existing hair and possibly improve thickness ● You’re looking for a non-surgical option or a way to maintain hair transplant results ● You are in generally good health and not on medications that strongly affect platelets We’ll review your medical history, scalp exam, and goals to decide whether PRP is likely to benefit you.
- 03
PRP is typically done as a series of treatments, followed by maintenance: ● Initial series often involves multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart ● Maintenance sessions may be performed a few times per year, depending on response We’ll tailor the schedule to your hair loss pattern, response to treatment, and overall plan (including medications or transplant when appropriate).
- 04
Most patients describe PRP as uncomfortable but tolerable: ● We may use numbing or cooling techniques to make the injections more comfortable ● You may feel pressure or mild soreness in the treated areas afterward, which usually resolves within a day or two We’ll talk you through what to expect and ways to minimize discomfort.
- 05
Downtime is usually minimal: ● You may have temporary redness or sensitivity of the scalp ● Most people resume normal daily activities right away ● We’ll give guidance on when to wash your hair and which products to avoid initially PRP is often a good option for patients who want a low-downtime treatment that fits into a busy schedule.
- 06
Results vary, but common timelines are: ● First few months: Some patients notice reduced shedding and a “healthier” feel to their hair ● 3–6 months: Many see improvement in thickness and density in treated areas ● Ongoing: Maintenance sessions help sustain and potentially build on results We’ll monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed.
