PRP Injections for Hair Growth and Thinning Hair
PRP Injections for Hair Growth
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections are a non-surgical treatment used to stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness in patients experiencing hair thinning. PRP uses components of your own blood to support follicle health and encourage regrowth.
This treatment is commonly used for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) and other forms of hair thinning in both men and women.
What PRP Hair Treatment Is Used For
PRP injections may be helpful for patients with:
- Thinning hair
- Early to moderate hair loss
- Androgenetic alopecia
- Decreased hair density
- Hair shedding related to follicle miniaturization
PRP is most effective when hair follicles are still present but weakened.
How PRP for Hair Growth Works
PRP is created by drawing a small amount of blood and processing it to concentrate platelets and growth factors. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into targeted areas of the scalp.
Growth factors in PRP are believed to:
- Support follicle health
- Improve blood supply to hair follicles
- Prolong the growth phase of hair
- Encourage thicker, healthier hair growth
Because PRP uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction.
What to Expect During PRP Hair Treatment
PRP injections are performed in the office and typically take under an hour.
Patients can expect:
- A blood draw similar to routine lab work
- Scalp injections using fine needles
- Mild discomfort or pressure during treatment
- Minimal downtime afterward
Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Results and Treatment Planning
Hair growth occurs gradually. Patients typically notice:
- Reduced shedding over several months
- Improved hair thickness and density over time
A series of treatments is often recommended, followed by maintenance sessions depending on response and hair loss pattern.
PRP may be used alone or combined with other hair loss treatments when appropriate.
