What is PRP hair?

PRP hair (Or Platelet-rich plasma (PRP ) is a non-invasive procedure that involves injecting plasma obtained by centrifuging the person's blood into the scalp to provide growth factors that stimulate the regeneration of hair follicles.

Suitable for both women and men, PRP is recommended in several cases of hair loss, including incipient baldness, before and after a transplant...And in other cases that we will discover in the rest of this article.

Are PRP injections really effective against hair loss?

Yes, PRP injections are effective in slowing hair loss until it stops completely . From the first session, you will notice a slowdown in hair loss and, as the treatments progress, your hair will begin to grow back and gradually gain vitality and thickness. By completing your treatment, you will regain your hair mass and healthy, strong hair.

The benefits of PRP on hair

• Slow down hair loss.
• Thicken thinning and fine hair.
• Strengthen fragile and brittle hair.
• Restore volume.
• Stimulate hair regrowth.
• Optimizing the results of a hair transplant.

When is PRP hair recommended?

PRP is indicated for many cases of hair loss. Here are the most common forms that respond favorably to PRP treatment:

• Moderate androgenetic alopecia (hormonal cause),
• Post-pregnancy hair loss,
• Traction alopecia (also called “bun alopecia”),
• Telogen effluvium (diffuse alopecia),
• Shock loss or hair loss after a hair transplant.

Please note that in the case of very advanced alopecia, or a complete absence of hair follicles, PRP alone will not be sufficient. The best thing to do is to first have a hair transplant, followed by PRP injections to optimize and prolong the results.

How is PRP hair treatment performed?

PRP hair treatment takes place in 4 simple steps:

1. Pre-treatment consultation: Before proceeding with PRP, an initial consultation is required to assess your hair loss problems, the condition of your hair follicles and understand your hair cycle.
2. Blood sample: a simple blood sample will be taken from you.
3. Centrifugation: recovery of plasma by centrifuging the blood. This step consists of separating the plasma from the rest of the blood elements.
4. Plasma injection: After thoroughly disinfecting the area, the procedure can begin by injecting PRP directly into the affected areas of the scalp.

The session can last on average between 30 and 40 minutes, depending on the size of the area to be treated and its complexity. You can resume your activities immediately after the treatment.

How many PRP sessions are needed for lasting results?

Therapists generally recommend performing an average of 3 to 5 PRP hair treatments, 30 days apart. You will also be advised to schedule one or two maintenance sessions per year.

During the first consultation, all these details will be discussed with your therapist in order to develop a personalized treatment and follow-up plan.

When do we see the first results of PRP?

PRP results are not visible from the first session, but they are gradual. It takes 3 to 6 months to begin to see results. After the first three sessions, you will notice a significant reduction in hair loss, until it stabilizes and the rate of hair loss reaches a level considered normal.

After three months of treatment, your hair begins to grow back and gain texture and volume.
