PRP Injections for Hair Loss

How PRP Injections Work

The Science:

Your blood contains platelets rich in growth factors. When concentrated and injected into the scalp, these growth factors:

• Stimulate dormant hair follicles

• Increase blood supply to follicles

• Extend the hair growth phase (anagen)

• Thicken existing hair strands

• Reduce inflammation that damages follicles

The Process:

1. Small blood sample taken (similar to routine blood test)

2. Blood placed in centrifuge to separate components

3. Platelet-rich plasma extracted and concentrated

4. PRP injected into scalp using fine needles

5. Treatment takes 60-90 minutes total

What Makes PRP Injections Effective

Natural Treatment

PRP uses your own blood—no synthetic chemicals or foreign substances. This eliminates risk of allergic reaction and ensures biocompatibility.

Growth Factor Concentration

Proper PRP preparation creates plasma with 5-10x normal platelet concentration. This concentrated dose delivers powerful growth signals directly to follicles.

Targeted Delivery

Injections place growth factors exactly where needed—at the hair follicle level. This direct delivery is more effective than topical treatments.

FAQ

Do PRP injections hurt?

Mild discomfort. We use topical numbing cream before injections. Most patients rate pain 3-4/10.

How many injections do I need?

Typically 3 sessions initially (4-6 weeks apart), then maintenance every 6-12 months.

Are PRP injections safe?

Very safe. PRP uses your own blood, eliminating allergic reaction risk. Side effects are minimal—temporary redness and tenderness.
