How do PRP treatments for hair loss work?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is an innovative and natural method to treat hair loss and stimulate hair growth. It is based on harnessing the body's own resources to improve hair quality and thickness. In this article, we explain how PRP treatment works, what benefits it offers and what you can expect during and after treatment.

What is the PRP?

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a concentrated solution of blood plasma containing a high concentration of growth factors and proteins. These natural components are known to stimulate cell regeneration and tissue repair, making PRP an effective treatment in several medical fields, including aesthetic medicine and hair regrowth.

How does PRP treatment work?

A PRP treatment for hair loss consists of several steps:

Blood test: a small amount of blood is taken from the patient.
Centrifugation: The blood is processed in a centrifuge that separates the different components. The result is a concentrated plasma rich in platelets.
Injection: The enriched plasma is injected into the scalp, directly into the areas affected by hair loss. The injections are performed with small, thin needles and are relatively painless.

How does PRP work for hair loss?

The growth factors in PRP act directly on the hair follicles and help to

Stimulate blood circulation in the scalp.
Strengthen and revitalize hair follicles.
Prolong the active growth phase (anagen phase) of the hair cycle.
Reduce hair loss and promote the growth of thicker and stronger hairs.

Benefits of PRP treatment

PRP offers several benefits for those suffering from hair loss:

Natural and safe: because the treatment uses the body's own blood, there is no risk of allergic reactions.
Minimally invasive: The procedure is quick and requires no surgery or long recovery time.
Effective for different types of hair loss: PRP works for both genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) and other forms of diffuse or stress-related hair loss.

What can you expect?

After a PRP treatment, you may experience:

Improved hair quality: Hair often becomes thicker and shinier.
Reduced hair loss: Already after a few weeks, hair loss can be slowed down.
Visible results: Most patients see clear results after three to six treatments.

Treatment is usually recommended as a course of several sessions over a few months, followed by maintenance treatments once or twice a year.
