The number of treatments required can vary, but most patients typically need multiple sessions to see optimal results. Initial treatments are often spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with maintenance sessions recommended every 6-12 months. Generally, three to six treatments are needed to achieve noticeable improvements in hair growth and density.

Side effects are generally mild and temporary. They can include redness, swelling, itching, and minor discomfort at the injection sites. Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of infection or allergic reactions is very low. However, it’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions to minimize any potential side effect.

PRP therapy involves drawing a small sample of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this platelet-rich plasma into the scalp. Microneedling creates tiny injuries in the scalp, which helps the PRP penetrate deeper and stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. This combination promotes hair follicle health, stimulates hair growth, and can improve hair thickness and density

Recovery time is minimal. Patients may experience some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort at the injection sites, but these symptoms usually resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. Most patients can resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure, although it’s advised to avoid washing the hair or using strong hair products for at least 24 hours.

The longevity of PRP treatment results can vary depending on individual factors such as age, hair loss severity, and overall health. Typically, the effects of PRP treatments can last between 6 to 12 months. Maintenance treatments are often recommended to sustain and maximize the benefits of PRP therapy.
