Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment used to combat hair loss by stimulating hair follicles and promoting natural growth. PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, which is processed to isolate a plasma-rich concentrate containing growth factors, cytokines, and bioactive proteins that aid in tissue repair and regeneration. This therapy is widely recognized for its ability to enhance hair follicle health, improve scalp circulation, and accelerate the healing process after hair transplantation.
PRP therapy is based on the principle that platelets play a crucial role in tissue regeneration and healing. By concentrating these platelets and injecting them into the scalp, the treatment stimulates angiogenesis, increases the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the follicles, and prolongs the anagen phase of the hair cycle. This results in stronger, thicker, and healthier hair growth.
PRP Therapy in Combination with Hair Transplantation
PRP therapy is commonly performed as a supportive treatment for hair transplantation to enhance graft survival and reduce the risk of shock loss. The growth factors in PRP promote faster tissue healing, allowing transplanted hair follicles to integrate more effectively into the recipient area. This improves the overall success rate of hair transplants and ensures denser, more uniform hair regrowth. At Swiss Klinikum, PRP therapy is included in post-operative hair transplant care to optimize long-term hair restoration outcomes.
PRP Therapy Process
PRP hair restoration therapy involves a multi-step process. First, a sample of blood, typically between 10 to 60 mL, is drawn from the patient. The collected blood is then placed in a centrifuge machine that spins at high speed to separate its components into platelet-poor plasma, platelet-rich plasma, and red blood cells. The extracted platelet-rich plasma is carefully injected into the scalp using a fine needle, targeting areas affected by hair thinning or recent hair transplantation. The entire procedure takes approximately 45 minutes and is typically performed in multiple sessions for the best results.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP therapy is an effective treatment for men and women experiencing hair thinning, androgenetic alopecia, or early-stage hair loss. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who want to strengthen weak hair follicles and reduce hair shedding, seek non-surgical hair restoration before considering a hair transplant, wish to enhance the results of a previous hair transplant, experience post-transplant shock loss, or have mild to moderate hair loss but still have active hair follicles. However, PRP may not be suitable for individuals with severe baldness, active scalp infections, blood disorders, or certain medical conditions affecting platelet function.
Benefits of PRP Therapy for Hair Loss
PRP therapy offers a safe, natural, and minimally invasive alternative to hair restoration treatments. It enhances hair follicle viability and density, accelerates tissue repair and wound healing post-hair transplant, increases blood circulation to the scalp, improves hair nutrition, reduces inflammation, strengthens hair shafts, and provides long-lasting results with periodic maintenance sessions.
Is PRP Hair Treatment Painful?
PRP therapy is a minimally invasive procedure with mild discomfort. Patients may experience a slight tingling sensation during injections, but local anesthesia or numbing agents can be used to enhance comfort. Side effects such as temporary redness, mild swelling, or scalp sensitivity typically resolve within a few hours to days.
