PRP Therapy for Hair Loss

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a proven, natural approach to combating hair loss and promoting regrowth. By concentrating powerful growth factors from your own blood and delivering them directly to the scalp, PRP stimulates dormant hair follicles and improves overall scalp health. At PRP London Clinic, Dr. Hans utilizes this autologous treatment to help patients achieve thicker, fuller, healthier hair.

This page details how PRP works specifically for hair restoration. For potentially enhanced results, consider combining PRP with Exosomes (Exosomes + PRP Combination).

When injected into the scalp, the concentrated growth factors within the PRP initiate several key processes beneficial for hair growth:

• Follicle Stimulation: Growth factors signal dormant hair follicles to enter the active growth (anagen) phase.
• Increased Blood Flow: Promotes angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) around the follicles, improving nutrient and oxygen supply.
• Cell Proliferation: Encourages the multiplication of cells within the hair follicle crucial for hair production.
• Prolonged Growth Phase: Helps maintain follicles in the anagen phase for longer periods.
• Reduced Inflammation: Helps create a healthier scalp environment less prone to follicle damage.

This cascade effect supports the natural hair growth cycle, leading to reduced shedding and increased hair density over time.

Your PRP hair restoration treatment with Dr. Hans typically involves these steps:

1. Consultation: Assessment of your hair loss type, severity, and suitability for PRP. Discussion of expected outcomes.
2. Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is comfortably drawn from your arm.
3. PRP Preparation: Your blood is processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
4. Scalp Preparation: The treatment area on your scalp is cleansed. Topical anaesthetic may be applied for comfort if needed, although injections are usually well-tolerated.
5. PRP Injection: Dr. Hans performs a series of small, targeted injections of the PRP across the areas of thinning scalp.
6. Post-Treatment: You can typically resume normal activities immediately. Some mild scalp tenderness or redness is possible but usually resolves quickly. Aftercare advice will be provided.

The entire appointment usually takes around 60 minutes.

Patience is key, as PRP works in synergy with your natural hair growth cycles:

• Initial Phase (1-3 Months): Reduced hair shedding is often the first noticeable sign.
• Growth Phase (3-6 Months): Early signs of new hair growth and increased thickness may become visible.
• Optimal Results (6-12 Months): More significant improvements in density and coverage are typically seen as hair continues to grow and mature.

For optimal results, a course of 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is generally recommended. Dr. Hans may suggest maintenance treatments (e.g., every 6-12 months) to sustain the improvements.

PRP therapy for hair loss is often suitable for individuals experiencing:

• Early to moderate stages of androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern baldness).
• General hair thinning and reduced volume.
• Certain types of temporary hair shedding (after consultation).
• Those seeking a natural, non-surgical hair restoration option.
• Patients wanting to complement other hair loss treatments.

PRP works best when there are still viable hair follicles present. A consultation with Dr. Hans is necessary to determine if it's the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition.

PRP therapy for hair loss is exceptionally safe due to its autologous nature (using your own blood), virtually eliminating risks of allergic reactions or rejection. The procedure involves injections, so minor, temporary side effects like scalp tenderness, redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising can occur but are generally mild and short-lived. Dr. Hans performs the treatment under sterile conditions to ensure maximum safety.
