Hair PRP Treatment: What the Evidence Says and How It Is Done
Short answer: Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from your own blood and injected into the scalp to stimulate follicles. The best evidence is in early androgenetic alopecia as an add-on to medical treatment. It does not work on follicles that are already gone, and it is not a substitute for a diagnosis.
Who benefits
Early to moderate androgenetic alopecia, together with minoxidil or finasteride
Recovery phase of telogen effluvium once the trigger has been corrected
Around hair transplantation to support graft survival
Who does not
Advanced smooth baldness, active scarring alopecia, uncontrolled scalp disease, and patients who expect PRP alone to stop hormonal hair loss. Evidence in alopecia areata is weak.
Protocol
Typically 3-4 sessions 4 weeks apart, then maintenance every 4-6 months. Each session takes about 30-40 minutes; mild soreness for a day is normal. Results are assessed at 3-6 months with trichoscopy photographs, not by impression.
How we decide
PRP is offered only after trichoscopy confirms a diagnosis that responds to it, and always alongside the medical treatment that does most of the work.
