📖About PRP Therapy for Hair

Platelet-rich plasma therapy for hair uses concentrated growth factors extracted from the patient's own blood, injected directly into the scalp to stimulate dormant hair follicles and slow the progression of hair thinning. It works by delivering a high concentration of platelets, which release proteins that promote tissue repair and encourage follicles to re-enter an active growth phase. The treatment is drawn from the patient's own blood, which minimizes the risk of allergic reaction or rejection. It is most effective in early to moderate stages of hair thinning rather than areas of complete baldness.
