Is PRP hair loss treatment useful?

PRP Hair Treatment (“Platelet Rich Plasma”) is a safe, painless, 100% natural, non-surgical procedure to promote hair growth for men and women by using own growth factors to targeted areas of the scalp with hair loss.

For the un-initiated, PRP is a medically and scientifically proven branch of regenerative medicine and has been in use since several decades to improve joint pain, repair wounds and other inflammatory conditions. There are several studies which also support the application of PRP to regrow hair.

PRP Hair Treatment aids in the following:

  • For the conservation of existing hair in cases of Androgenetic Alopecia
  • Promotes less thinning and accelerates hair regeneration
  • Increases diameter and density of hairs so fuller head of hair
  • Reduced local erythema (redness) and accelerated healing after a hair transplant procedure

At Evolved Clinics in Perth, Australia, PRP is performed as follows –

  • The Blood Draw: Some blood is typically taken from the arm and infused into a centrifuge that spins the blood.
  • Centrifuge Isolation: The rapid motion in a centrifuge separates the fluids in the blood in about 10-20 minutes. The goal is to isolate the Platelet Rich Plasma, which is a yellowish color, from the red and white blood cells.
  • PRP Scalp Injections: The isolated PRP is then injected with specialized micro needling pen into precise areas of the scalp to stimulate hair growth. Local anesthesia is used to minimize discomfort during treatment.

While individual results vary with each patient but most patients require 3-6 treatments, with each treatment spaced around 4 weeks apart.

Results of PRP hair treatment are most noticeable after six months for scalp injections. Once you reach your desired results, patients may require additional maintenance therapy every 6 months, at the direction of the hair loss surgeon.
