What Is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is composed of plasma, which is the fluid part of blood, and platelets, a type of blood cell essential for healing. While platelets are commonly known for their ability to clot blood, they also contain growth factors that can initiate cell growth and promote tissue regeneration or healing in the treated area. Essentially, PRP is blood that contains a higher concentration of platelets. PRP can be used on the face and neck for skin rejuvenation/regeneration, and on the scalp for hair loss treatment.
What Is PRP For Hair Loss/PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP hair restoration is a cosmetic treatment that involves injecting the patient’s own blood plasma into their scalp to stimulate hair growth. The process begins by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the red and white blood cells. The concentrated PRP is then injected into the scalp in the areas where the patient is experiencing hair loss.
The process of undergoing traditional invasive hair transplant surgery can be too overwhelming. As an alternative, and one of the safest medical hair regrow options, the non-invasive PRP hair restoration treatment has been very popular recently. It is highly effective for treating hair loss for both men and women.
How Does PRP For Hair Loss Treatment Work?
PRP is packed with concentrated growth factors and cytokines, which can trigger dormant hair follicles, leading to hair regeneration. Even at the very least, PRP can improve hair health, strengthen individual hair diameter, and prevent further hair loss. It help maintain the current number of hairs and enhances the quality of existing hairs. At best, it can stimulate new hair growth, the extent of which varies depending on the individual.
PRP hair treatment have proven to be useful in combating male and female pattern hair loss by preventing hair loss and encouraging new hair generation. Additionally, PRP can assist in promoting hair growth following hair transplant procedures.
What Is The Procedure Of A PRP Hair Restoration Treatment Like?
This procedure of a PRP hair restoration treatment involves 4 steps. First, the blood is drawn from the arm (most of the cases). Next, the blood is put into a centrifuge. Then wait for ~10 min for it to process, which separates the blood into 3 different layers: platelet-poor plasma, platelet-rich plasma, and red blood cells. The platelet-rich plasma is extracted from the separated blood, and the rest is discard. Finally, the PRP is injected into your scalp and hair follicles.
Who Is Good Candidate For PRP Hair Restoration?
The most suitable candidates for PRP hair restoration treatment are those men and women in the early stages of hair thinning whose hair follicles are still partially active. However, this doesn’t imply that individuals with more serious hair loss or inactive follicles can’t benefit; it may more treatment sessions to see the results. PRP hair treatment tends to be most effective for people with weak overall follicles and those with small patches of alopecia areata, a condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles.
PRP hair restoration is not recommended for anyone who has
- A blood-related illness or infection
- Autoimmune disease
- History of bleeding disorders

How Many Treatments Will I Need For PRP Hair Restoration?
For optimal results, as an initial treatment for thinning hair, we suggest beginning with 4 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. Following that, maintenance treatments will be necessary every year to uphold the effects of your PRP hair regeneration treatments.
How Soon Will I See Results From My PRP Hair Treatment?
Although you may notice enhanced hair texture, thicker hair shafts, and new hair growth in the treated area within 3-4 weeks of treatment, measurable outcomes usually take 3-6 months from the first treatment.
Does A PRP Hair Treatment Hurt?
PRP hair restoration treatment can be painful if administered by a needle, i.e., the traditional injection method. For this specific hair treatment, unfortunately, the pain cannot be alleviated by topical anesthetics – clinical studies have shown that the use of topical anesthetics diminishes the effectiveness of PRP by influencing the platelet aggregation rate or the blood clotting capacity needed for tissue repair. Needle injection is the most effective delivery method for for PRP hair restoration, as the needle can accurately reach the depth of hair follicles at ~4mm underneath the scalp and administer the PRP right there. The needle involved is actually very fine, this delivery method works for patients with higher pain tolerance. For those who with lower pain threshold or afraid of needles, we have the following PRP delivering options with less to no pain and possible less effectiveness.
- Microneedling: first perform microneedling on the scalp, and apply PRP right after the procedure is done. As the PRP needs to penetrate from the surface of the scalp, this option is generally less effective and requires more treatment sessions. However, it is much faster and less painful than a needle. It might be ideal for people who combines a skin treatment using microneedling. In that case, the total cost will be lower.
- Microchanneling: micro-infuse the PRP using a microchanneling device such as AquaGold or MesoGold with the maximum depth of 1.5mm (of the tiny needles). This option is more effective than microneedling with reduced pain but less effective than using a needle.
- JetPeel: using pressurized air technology, JetPeel can infuse the PRP to the dermis up to the depth of hair follicles. As this procedure is unable to precisely target the ideal depth, it is still less effective than a needle. This option is literally pain-free and is ideal for people who cannot endure any pain or are afraid of needles.
- Mesotherapy gun: using our U225 mesotherapy gun or meso-gun, your PRP can be injected precisely to the depth where the hair follicles are at, nearly pain-less. Thus this delivery method for PRP hair restoration can achieve similar results as using a needle but with significantly reduced pain. The Meso-gun PRP delivery option offers a great trade-off between treatment pain and effectiveness.
