PRP Therapy (Hair & Face)

Using your own platelets to support hair growth and skin rejuvenation

Overview

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses a concentrated preparation of your own blood platelets, injected into the scalp or skin to stimulate the body's natural repair and growth processes.

It's used both for hair restoration (alongside or independent of hair transplant surgery) and for facial skin rejuvenation, with the underlying technology the same in both applications — only the treatment area differs.

Candidacy

Is PRP Therapy (Hair & Face) Right for You?

  • Early to moderate hair thinning, alone or alongside hair transplant surgery
  • Wanting a non-surgical option to support skin texture and rejuvenation
  • Realistic expectations — PRP supports and enhances, but doesn't replace surgery for advanced hair loss
  • No blood disorders or conditions that would affect platelet function

What to Expect

Your Journey

  1. 01

    Consultation

    Assessment of hair loss pattern or skin concern to determine whether PRP suits your goals, alone or combined with other treatments.

  2. 02

    Procedure

    A small blood sample is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets, then injected into the treatment area — typically 30-45 minutes total.

  3. 03

    Recovery

    Minimal downtime; mild redness or tenderness at injection sites usually resolves within a day or two.

Recovery

Recovery & Aftercare

There's little to no real downtime. A course of several sessions spaced weeks apart is typically recommended, with results building gradually rather than appearing after a single treatment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How many PRP sessions are needed?

Most protocols involve an initial course of three to four sessions spaced several weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance sessions.

Does PRP work as well as a hair transplant?

No — PRP supports existing hair and can help with early thinning, but it doesn't replace surgical transplantation for areas of established baldness.

Is it safe since it uses my own blood?

Using the patient's own blood avoids the risk of allergic reaction or disease transmission associated with foreign substances, which is one of PRP's main appeals.
