Who is PRP suitable for?

PRP hair therapy may be of particular interest to women and men with the following problems: Hereditary hair loss. Thinning hair. A receding hairline or beginning temple recession. Reduced hair density at the crown and vertex. Supporting the hair roots after a hair transplant. Early hair loss where sufficient active hair follicles are still present. Before treatment, the cause of hair loss should be clarified by a physician. Hair loss can also be caused, for example, by hormonal changes, iron deficiency, thyroid disease, medications, stress or inflammatory conditions. PRP is therefore not the right treatment for every form of hair loss.

How does autologous plasma affect the hair roots?

The processed plasma is injected into the affected areas of the scalp. The platelets it contains release various growth factors. These can support local tissue regeneration and the activity of existing hair follicles. In the case of weakened hair follicles, the treatment can help hair appear stronger and denser. However, the effect varies from person to person and depends, among other things, on the cause of hair loss, the age of the hair follicles and the treatment method chosen. PRP can support existing follicles, but it cannot create hair roots that are no longer present or have been permanently destroyed. The treatment is therefore generally more useful for early hair loss than for completely bald areas.

When are results visible?

PRP does not lead to new hair growth immediately. The hair follicles need time to respond to the treatment and produce new hair. First changes may become visible after several weeks or months. A realistic assessment is often only possible after about three to six months. The result depends, among other things, on whether active hair follicles are still present and how far the hair loss has progressed.

How many sessions are needed?

A single treatment is usually not enough to reliably assess the effect. A series of several sessions is often planned, for example: Three to four treatments at intervals of about four to six weeks. A follow-up check after a few months. Maintenance treatments depending on the hair condition and individual result. The treatment schedule must be determined by a physician. Studies and clinical protocols use different PRP concentrations, injection volumes and intervals. Recommendations from different clinics may therefore differ.

PRP or hair transplant?

PRP and hair transplantation pursue different goals and are not simply interchangeable.

Usually several sessions Usually one or more surgical required procedures In a hair transplant, existing, usually resistant hair follicles are transplanted from the donor area into thinning or bald areas. With FUE, individual follicular units are extracted; with FUT, a narrow strip of skin is removed and divided into individual grafts.

What side effects could occur?

After a PRP treatment, the following may occur temporarily: Tenderness or pain at the injection sites. Redness or slight swelling. Small bruises. A feeling of tightness or itching of the scalp. Rarely, headaches or temporary sensitivity. Serious complications are rare, but as with any injection there is a risk of infection or bleeding. Patients should disclose all medications and medical conditions, in particular blood thinners, clotting disorders, acute infections and conditions affecting the platelets. Medications such as aspirin or other anticoagulants must not be discontinued on your own. Whether a treatment needs to be adjusted or postponed is decided by the treating physician

How should I behave after a treatment?

Depending on the physician's recommendation, patients should: Not rub the treated areas of the scalp vigorously on the day of treatment. Avoid intensive sports activities for a short period. Avoid saunas, solariums and intense heat for the time being. Wash their hair only according to the clinic's instructions. Use prescribed or recommended care products. Contact the clinic in case of increasing pain, severe redness, fever or unusual swelling. The exact aftercare instructions may vary depending on the technique used and the individual situation.

How well is the treatment scientifically supported?

Studies to date on PRP for hereditary hair loss show a possible potential benefit, but they are not entirely consistent. A systematic review from 2024 evaluated eight randomised trials and one cohort study with a total of 291 participants. Several studies reported an increase in hair density or hair count; at the same time, study quality, differing treatment protocols and a moderate risk of bias were cited as limitations. Another meta-analysis also found an increase in hair density, but pointed to very high heterogeneity between the studies and possible publication bias. The conclusion: PRP can be a worthwhile option, but it is not a guaranteed effective procedure for every form of hair loss.

About the treatment

What is a PRP treatment?

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. In this non-surgical treatment, a small amount of the patient's own blood is drawn, processed and then injected into the scalp. The plasma contains platelets and various growth factors that can support the body's own regeneration processes.

PRP therapy is used primarily for early or progressive hereditary hair loss. The aim is to stimulate existing, weakened hair follicles, improve hair density and slow down further thinning of the hair. Areas that are already completely bald generally cannot be regrown with hair by PRP alone.

Possible goals include:

Stabilising hair loss.
Improving hair density.
Strengthening thin hair.
Supporting a healthier-looking scalp.
Promoting regeneration after a hair transplant.

No guarantee of new hair growth can be given. The treatment should therefore be started with realistic expectations.

What are the benefits of PRP?

Autologous material: Only plasma from your own blood is used.
Non-surgical procedure: No incisions and no surgical harvesting of hair roots are required.
Short treatment: A session usually takes less than an hour.
Minimal downtime: Many patients can quickly return to their daily routine.
Support for existing hair follicles: PRP can have a positive effect on thinning hair and hair density.
Can be combined: Depending on the findings, the therapy can be combined with other treatments such as minoxidil or a hair transplant.
