PRP Hair Treatment For Hair Thinning & Early Hair Loss
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that uses concentrated platelets and growth factors derived from your own blood to support weakened hair follicles.
It is commonly recommended for patients experiencing early hair thinning, increased shedding, reduced density, and progressive hair loss where follicles are still alive but underperforming.

What Is PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma.
Your blood contains:
- Red Blood Cells
- White Blood Cells
- Platelets
- Plasma
Platelets naturally contain growth factors that help the body heal damaged tissue.
During PRP therapy, these platelets are concentrated and injected into areas of the scalp affected by thinning hair.
The objective is to improve the environment around existing follicles and support healthier hair growth cycles.
How PRP Is Performed
Step 1: Blood Collection
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
Step 2: Centrifugation
The blood sample is processed using a centrifuge.
This separates:
- Red blood cells
- Platelets
- Plasma
The platelet-rich portion is isolated for treatment.
Step 3: Scalp Preparation
The treatment area is cleaned and prepared.
Step 4: PRP Injections
Concentrated PRP is injected into areas affected by thinning.
Treatment typically takes 30–45 minutes.
What Does PRP Actually Do?
PRP does not create new follicles.
Instead, it aims to support existing follicles by:
- Improving blood supply
- Enhancing follicular activity
- Supporting hair growth cycles
- Reducing miniaturization
- Improving hair thickness
This is why PRP works best when follicles are still present.
Who Is A Good Candidate?
PRP may be suitable if you have:
✓ Early-stage hair loss
✓ Male pattern baldness
✓ Female pattern hair loss
✓ Hair thinning
✓ Excessive shedding
✓ Reduced density
Who Is Not A Good Candidate?
PRP is less effective when:
- Bald areas are completely smooth
- Follicles are permanently lost
- Advanced baldness is present
- Significant scarring exists
In such cases, transplantation may be required.
