PRP Hair Treatment - MyConciereMD

Suffering from hair loss and want to regain hair? PRP therapy might be the solution. In a few studies, it’s been established that PRP indeed helps increase hair density and thickness and enhances hair growth. If you want to know more about PRP hair treatment, visit us at My Concierge MD.

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a therapy that uses your own blood to stimulate hair growth. It may be a suitable option for people who have hereditary hair thinning or baldness, also known as androgenic alopecia.

However, PRP therapy is not a cure for hair loss, and it may not work for everyone. It is also a costly and invasive procedure that may have some side effects and risks. PRP is considered a safe, effective, and alternative treatment for alopecia [1].

How does PRP hair treatment work?

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, is a medical treatment used to promote and maintain hair growth. Here’s how it works:

  • Blood Draw: Between 10 to 60 milliliters (mL) of your blood is drawn, typically from your arm.
  • Processing: The blood is put into a centrifuge, a machine that spins rapidly to separate fluids of different densities.
  • Separation: After about 10 minutes in the centrifuge, your blood will have separated into three layers: platelet-poor plasma, platelet-rich plasma, and red blood cells.
  • Injection: The platelet-rich plasma is drawn up into a syringe and then injected into areas of the scalp that need increased hair growth.

Who is a suitable candidate for PRP hair treatment?

Some factors that may affect the results of PRP therapy include:

  • The severity and duration of hair loss
  • The cause and type of hair loss
  • The quality and concentration of the PRP
  • The frequency and number of PRP sessions
  • The individual response and expectations

Does PRP therapy actually regrow hair?

According to a 2021 study, higher platelet concentrations in PRP therapy may hair density and thickness and stop premature shedding [2].

Another research review of 12 clinical trials found that PRP improved hair density and thickness in both male and female participants in 84% of the studies [3].

Are there any side effects of PRP hair treatment?

Some of the possible side effects of PRP therapy for hair loss include:

  • Mild pain at the injection site
  • Scalp tenderness, swelling, or itching
  • Headache
  • Temporary bleeding or bruising
  • Infection, nerve injury, or blood vessel damage (rare)
  • Allergic reaction to other products used during the treatment (rare)

A study revealed that a 49-year-old woman developed acute visual loss as a result of PRP injections [5]. Although the injection was for skin rejuvenation and it’s just one case reported to cause blindness, we recommend you to consult a doctor first.

When will results be noticeable for PRP for hair loss?

3-4 PRP sessions are recommended by the doctors, with a 4-6 weeks gap between each session. Maintenance treatments may be scheduled every 6-12 months to monitor the process [4].
