Hair PRP: Who Is It For and What Results Can Be Expected?

Hair PRP , or platelet-rich plasma, is an approach used to promote follicle health and support hair growth. It is prepared from a small amount of the patient's own blood, which is centrifuged to isolate a platelet-rich fraction. This is then injected directly into the scalp.

Who is PRP hair treatment suitable for?

PRP may be considered for some women and men with progressive hair thinning, particularly in the context of androgenetic alopecia, also known as hereditary hair loss.

It is generally more effective when the hair follicles are still present. A medical evaluation is therefore essential to determine the cause of hair loss and to verify if this treatment is appropriate.

PRP is not necessarily suitable for all forms of alopecia. Some hair loss can be linked to, among other things, scalp disease, deficiency, hormonal changes, medication, or a stressful event. Diagnosis must precede treatment.

How does a session unfold?

A small amount of blood is first drawn. The tube is then placed in a centrifuge to separate its different components and obtain platelet-rich plasma.

After preparing the scalp, the PRP is injected into the targeted areas using small injections. Since the product comes from the patient's own blood, it is an autologous preparation.

The protocol, the number of sessions and their spacing are determined according to the medical evaluation and the needs of each person.

What results can we expect?

Available studies suggest that PRP can improve hair density in some people with androgenetic alopecia. However, results vary from person to person, and preparation and injection methods are not yet fully standardized.

Improvement is generally gradual. PRP does not create new follicles and cannot guarantee complete regrowth. Realistic goals may include supporting existing follicles, slowing thinning, and improving the appearance of hair density.

Follow-up sessions may be offered depending on the observed progress.

What might one feel after the treatment?

Scalp sensitivity, minor redness, slight swelling or small bruising may occur temporarily after injections.

In Canada, PRP must be prepared and administered by a licensed professional. Health Canada also states that it has not evaluated the safety, efficacy, and quality of PRP for its various therapeutic uses. Therefore, clear information and a personalized medical assessment are important before starting treatment.
