PRP Hair Treatment
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment for hair loss represents a natural and effective solution to hair problems such as baldness and alopecia. It uses the growth factors present in your own blood to stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting denser, thicker hair regrowth.
State-of-the-art technology
Cellular regeneration for denser hair
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) consists of multiple superficial injections into the scalp of micro-droplets of serum in which the blood platelets responsible for activating a cascade of cellular regeneration aimed at fortifying hair follicles are bathed. In fact, once injected under the skin, the platelets release highly potent growth factors that act on hair follicles to stimulate development and slow aging.
This greatly improves hair quality (texture, thickness, pigment) and density, especially if baldness is at an early stage, when it is still possible to reverse the process. It is therefore important not to wait until the baldness is too far advanced to maximize the success of a PRP treatment. In general, it is recommended to treat within 5 years of the first signs of thinning or hair loss.
Steps in a PRP treatment for hair
Step 1
Initial consultation
This initial meeting, lasting 30 minutes to 1 hour, allows us to assess the condition of the scalp and understand the patient's objectives. The specialist analyzes the situation and proposes a personalized treatment plan based on the patient's specific needs.
Step 2
Blood sampling
Before treatment begins, a small amount of blood is drawn, usually equivalent to that of a standard blood test. This is necessary to extract the platelet-rich plasma used in the procedure.
Step 3
Preparing PRP
The collected blood is then placed in a special centrifuge to separate the growth factor-rich platelets from the rest of the blood. This process, which takes around 15 minutes, produces a plasma concentrate with regenerative properties.
Step 4
Scalp anesthesia
To ensure maximum comfort during the procedure, a topical anesthetic is applied to the scalp. This step makes the PRP injection virtually painless and enhances the patient experience.
Step 5
PRP injection
Once the PRP is ready and the scalp anesthetized, the plasma is injected into the areas requiring treatment. This stage lasts around 30 minutes and is designed to stimulate hair regrowth by revitalizing the hair follicles.
Step 6
Post-treatment recommendations
After the injection, the medical specialist explains to the patient the post-treatment care to be followed to maximize results. This includes recommendations on scalp care, post-injection sensations and precautions to be taken.

Frequently asked questions
PRP treatment for hair loss
Visit PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a natural treatment that uses the regenerative properties of your own blood to stimulate hair growth. It involves taking a blood sample, isolating the platelet-rich plasma using a centrifuge, then injecting it into the scalp to revitalize hair follicles and promote hair regrowth.
PRP treatment is based on growth drivers contained in blood platelets. When injected into the scalp, these substances stimulate hair follicles, increase local blood circulation and prolong the hair growth cycle, reducing hair loss and promoting denser, thicker regrowth.
PRP is recommended for :
- Men and women suffering fromandrogenetic alopecia (hereditary baldness).
- People with a diffuse hair loss related to stress, hormones or other factors.
- Patients who have undergone hair transplant and want to optimize results.
- Anyone wishing to improve density and quality of her hair.
A protocol for 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for visible results. Then, a maintenance session every 6 to 12 months helps maintain the effects of treatment.
The treatment is little painbecause a topical anesthesia is applied to the scalp prior to injections. Some patients experience slight discomfort or pressure, but the discomfort is generally minimal and well tolerated.
Since PRP is a treatment 100 % natural and biocompatibleSide effects are rare and mild. Some patients may experience :
- Slight redness or temporary swelling.
- Sensitivity of the scalp for a few hours.
These effects generally disappear within 48 hours.
- Slight discomfort in the injected areas.
Results vary from person to person, but most patients find :
- A reduced hair loss after a few weeks.
- A visible hair regrowth from 3 months.
- An improvement in density, texture and strength after several sessions.
PRP is particularly effective forandrogenetic alopecia and diffuse hair loss. On the other hand, it not recommended for advanced baldness where the follicles are totally inactive. In these cases, other solutions such as hair transplants can be considered.
After treatment, it is advisable to :
- Avoid washing hair for 24 hours.
- Do not expose scalp to direct sunlight for a few days.
