PRP OR PLATELET-RICH PLASMA FOR HAIR LOSS
Natural biological treatment for:
- Hair Loss (Androgenetic Alopecia)
- Effluvium (diffuse hair loss, stress-related, postpartum, due to nutritional deficiencies, etc.)
- Fine, damaged, or thinning hair
- Alopecia areata (in some cases)
What is PRP?
PRP is derived from your own blood. After a simple blood draw, the blood is centrifuged to isolate platelet-rich plasma (by removing red and white blood cells). This concentrate contains numerous growth factors (EGF, TGFβ, FGF, etc.) that stimulate hair follicles, promote hair retention, slow hair loss, and can induce regrowth (transforming fine vellus hair into more mature, thicker hair).
Main Indications for Hair Loss
- Androgenetic alopecia (hormonal hair loss in men and women) at a mild to moderate stage
- Diffuse hair loss / telogen effluvium
- Weakened hair with a loss of density or thickness. PRP is particularly effective when hair follicles are still present and active (not in cases of completely bald areas or advanced scarring alopecia).

How does the treatment work?
- Medical staff perform a blood test on site.
- Immediate centrifugation to prepare PRP.
- Injections administered by a dermatologist into the scalp using ultra-fine needles (mesotherapy technique).
Recommended Protocol
- Intensive phase: 3 sessions spaced about 1 month apart.
- Maintenance phase: 1 session every 6–12 months, depending on your progress and needs. The treatment plan may be adjusted based on your age, the extent of hair loss, and your response to treatment.
When will we see results? The effects are gradual:
- A slowdown in hair loss is often noticeable as early as 2–3 months.
- Improved density and thickness, and in some cases significant regrowth, between 3 and 6–9 months after the start of treatment.
- Maximum results are generally observed after several months (the hair growth cycle is slow). Results vary depending on age, the stage of hair loss, smoking (which reduces effectiveness), and individual factors.
Contraindications and Precautions
- There are no absolute contraindications: PRP is 100% autologous (your own blood), so there is no risk of allergy or intolerance.
- Use with caution in patients receiving: anticoagulant therapy or aspirin (increased risk of bruising).
- Contraindicated or should be avoided in cases of: active scalp infection or inflammation, serious blood disorders, pregnancy or breastfeeding (as advised by a doctor).
Aftereffects and Side Effects
- Mild redness, papules, or scalp sensitivity lasting 1–3 days (which can be easily concealed).
- Minor bruising may occur if a blood vessel is affected.
- Resume your normal activities, but avoid harsh shampoos, saunas, or intense exercise for 24 to 48 hours.
Tips for Optimizing Results
- Quit or cut back on smoking (this significantly reduces the effect of growth factors).
- PRP can be combined with other treatments to enhance the effects.
- A healthy lifestyle improves profits.
