Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
for Hair Loss
A medical procedure where the patient's own platelet-rich plasma is injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicle activity and reduce miniaturisation.
How it works
PRP contains high concentrations of growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, IGF-1) that stimulate follicular progenitor cells, increase blood supply to follicles, and prolong the anagen growth phase.
What to watch for
Requires clinical administration (a doctor or dermatologist). Multiple sessions needed (typically 3–4 initially, then 6-monthly maintenance). Expensive and not covered by most insurance. Results vary between individuals.
