What Is PRP Hair Treatment?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment is a minimally invasive, regenerative procedure that uses concentrated growth factors derived from your own blood to stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote natural hair regrowth. A small blood sample is drawn, processed in a medical centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then injected directly into the areas of your scalp experiencing thinning or hair loss.

The science behind PRP is grounded in your body's own healing mechanisms. Platelets contain powerful growth factors that increase blood supply to weakened follicles, stimulate the dermal papilla cells responsible for hair growth, and extend the active growth phase of the hair cycle.

  • Suitable for both men and women with early to moderate thinning
  • Uses your own biology — virtually no risk of allergic reaction
  • Physician-supervised and tailored to your specific pattern of hair loss
  • Can be used standalone or alongside other hair restoration therapies
  • Return to normal activities the same day — no downtime required

How PRP Hair Treatment Works

A precise three-step process that transforms your own blood into a powerful catalyst for natural hair regrowth.

1

Blood Draw & PRP Isolation

A small sample of blood is drawn from your arm — similar to a routine lab test. The sample is placed in a specialized medical centrifuge that spins at high speed, separating the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells and other components. This concentrated PRP contains a dense concentration of the growth factors essential for follicle stimulation and tissue repair.

2

Growth Factor Activation

The isolated PRP is carefully prepared and activated to maximize the release of growth factors. This step ensures that the platelets are primed to deliver their regenerative payload the moment they reach your hair follicles. The activation process is precisely controlled to optimize therapeutic potency while maintaining the biological integrity of the plasma.

3

Scalp Injection

Using a fine needle, the activated PRP is injected directly into the areas of your scalp where thinning is most pronounced. The growth factors go to work immediately — increasing blood flow to weakened follicles, stimulating the dermal papilla cells, and triggering the natural hair growth cycle. A topical anesthetic is applied beforehand to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

PRP Hair Treatment FAQ

Everything you need to know before your appointment.

PRP hair treatment is most effective for men and women experiencing early to moderate hair thinning, including androgenetic alopecia. Ideal candidates still have active hair follicles — even if they are weakened or producing finer hair. PRP works best when started before significant baldness has occurred. During your consultation, Dr. Zanbrakji will evaluate your hair loss pattern and determine whether PRP is the right approach for you.

A typical initial protocol involves three to four treatment sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. This series allows the growth factors to build cumulative stimulation within the follicles. After the initial course, most patients transition to maintenance sessions every three to six months to sustain and continue improving their results. Your specific schedule will be determined based on your pattern and degree of hair loss.

Most patients find PRP hair treatment very tolerable. A topical numbing agent is applied to the scalp before the injections to minimize discomfort. The initial blood draw feels similar to a standard lab test. During the scalp injections, patients typically report a mild pressure sensation. Any tenderness at the injection sites usually resolves within 24 hours.

Hair growth is a gradual process. Most patients begin to notice a reduction in hair shedding within the first four to six weeks. Visible improvements in hair density and thickness typically become apparent between three and six months after beginning treatment, with continued improvement through the twelve-month mark. Results vary between individuals depending on the extent of hair loss, overall health, and adherence to the treatment protocol.

PRP and hair transplant surgery serve different purposes and are not mutually exclusive. PRP is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your existing follicles to produce thicker, stronger hair. Hair transplant surgery physically relocates follicles from donor areas to thinning zones. PRP is ideal for patients with early to moderate thinning who want to strengthen and preserve their existing hair. In many cases, PRP can also be used alongside a transplant to enhance healing and improve graft survival.

Yes. Because PRP stimulates your existing follicles rather than creating new ones, periodic maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain your results. Most patients schedule maintenance treatments every three to six months after completing their initial series. Dr. Zanbrakji will design a long-term maintenance plan tailored to your individual response and hair restoration goals.
