Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection, or PRP, is a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that uses concentrated platelets extracted from the patient’s own blood. These platelets contain growth factors that may help stimulate hair follicles, improve blood circulation around the scalp, and support a healthier environment for hair growth.

At DHT Hair Clinic, PRP is used as a supportive treatment for people experiencing hair thinning, hair loss, or weakened hair roots. It may be recommended as a standalone treatment or combined with other hair restoration procedures, such as hair transplantation, to help support overall treatment outcomes.

Treatment Process

The PRP procedure begins with a small blood draw from the patient. The blood is then processed using a centrifuge machine to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. Once the PRP is prepared, it is injected into targeted areas of the scalp where hair thinning or hair loss is present.

Before the injection, the scalp is cleaned, and local anesthesia may be applied to reduce discomfort. The doctor then carefully injects PRP into the appropriate layer of the scalp to help stimulate the hair follicles and support scalp recovery.

Key Benefits

PRP treatment may help stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp circulation, strengthen existing hair, and support healthier hair growth. For suitable patients, it may help reduce the appearance of hair thinning and improve hair density over time when performed consistently under medical supervision.

Because PRP is prepared from the patient’s own blood, it is considered a natural and minimally invasive treatment option. However, results may vary depending on each patient’s condition, hair loss stage, scalp health, and individual response to treatment.

Suitable For

PRP may be suitable for people who have:

Hair thinning
Early-stage hair loss
Weak or miniaturized hair follicles
Reduced hair density
Hair shedding concerns
Scalp recovery needs after hair transplantation
A desire for a non-surgical hair restoration option

A medical consultation is recommended before treatment to assess whether PRP is suitable for the patient’s hair and scalp condition.

Treatment Frequency

PRP is usually performed as a course of treatment. In many cases, doctors may recommend treatment once a month for the first few sessions to evaluate the patient’s response. After that, maintenance sessions may be considered every 6–12 months, depending on the condition of the hair and scalp.

Aftercare

After PRP treatment, patients are generally advised to avoid washing the hair or getting the scalp wet for about 24 hours. Heavy exercise, alcohol consumption, and activities that may irritate the scalp should also be avoided during the initial recovery period. Patients should follow the doctor’s aftercare instructions to support the best possible treatment outcome.
