Hair loss is one of the most common concerns for both men and women. While genetics, stress, and aging can all play a role, new advances in regenerative medicine are offering natural, non-surgical solutions — and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is one of the most effective.
But how can your own blood help you regrow hair? Let’s break down the science behind PRP and how it works to stimulate natural hair growth.
What Is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a concentrated form of your own blood that contains growth factors — powerful proteins that help heal and regenerate tissues.
These growth factors are essential for repairing damaged cells and promoting new cell growth, which makes PRP a powerful tool for hair restoration.
The PRP Process Step-by-Step
Here’s what happens during a typical PRP hair treatment:
- Blood Collection
A small amount of your blood (just like a routine test) is drawn from your arm. - Centrifugation
The blood is placed in a special machine that spins it at high speed, separating it into layers — red blood cells, platelet-poor plasma, and platelet-rich plasma. - Injection into the Scalp
The concentrated PRP is carefully injected into areas of the scalp where hair is thinning or shedding.
This process delivers a high dose of natural growth factors directly to your hair follicles, re-energizing them and encouraging new growth.
How PRP Stimulates Hair Growth
PRP works by targeting the root cause of hair loss — inactive or weak hair follicles.
Here’s how it helps:
- Increases blood flow to the scalp and follicles.
- Extends the growth phase (anagen phase) of hair.
- Thickens existing hair strands.
- Reduces hair shedding over time.
Over several sessions, many patients notice thicker, fuller, and healthier-looking hair.
PRP vs Other Hair Loss Treatments
Unlike medications or chemical-based products, PRP is completely natural — it uses your own blood, so there’s no risk of allergic reaction or major side effects.
While PRP can’t regrow hair in completely bald areas, it’s an excellent solution for:
- Early to moderate hair thinning
- Post-hair transplant healing
- Male and female pattern hair loss
PRP can also be combined with other treatments like microneedling, Finasteride, or Minoxidil for even better results.
