PRP Hair Treatment: What You Need To Know

Hair loss can be frustrating, affecting confidence and self-image. 

If you’re looking for a natural, non-surgical solution, PRP hair treatment may be the answer.

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma therapy, is a safe and effective way to stimulate hair regrowth, strengthen follicles, and improve hair thickness—without surgery or harsh medications.

At Orthobiologics Associates, we offer PRP therapy for hair loss, providing personalized treatments designed to help you regain fuller, healthier hair.

What Is PRP Hair Treatment?

 

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses your own blood to activate dormant hair follicles and encourage new growth.

Here’s how it works:

1. Blood Draw – A small amount of blood is taken from your arm.
2. Centrifugation – The blood is spun in a special machine to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
3. Injection – The PRP is injected into areas of thinning hair to stimulate hair regrowth.

Because PRP comes from your own body, it’s a natural approach to hair restoration without the risks of synthetic medications.

 

How PRP Helps With Hair Loss

 

PRP contains growth factors that nourish the scalp and reactivate dormant hair follicles. 

Studies show that this leads to:

• Stronger, thicker hair strands
• Improved scalp circulation
• Slower hair thinning and shedding
• New hair growth in areas of thinning

For many people, PRP therapy for hair loss is an effective alternative to surgery or medications.

 

How PRP Compares to Other Hair Loss Treatments

 

Treatment	Invasive?	Natural?	Recovery Time	Effectiveness
PRP Hair Treatment	No	Yes	Minimal	High
Hair Transplant	Yes	No	Weeks	High
Minoxidil (Rogaine)	No	No	None	Moderate
Finasteride (Propecia)	No	No	None	Moderate

 

Unlike hair transplants, PRP is minimally invasive and doesn’t require incisions or stitches. 

It also avoids the side effects associated with medications like Minoxidil or Finasteride.

 

Benefits of PRP Hair Treatment

 

Here are some of the benefits of PRP hair treatment:

• Non-surgical – No incisions, scarring, or long recovery time
• Safe and natural – Uses your body’s own healing power
• Minimal downtime – Return to normal activities the same day
• Long-lasting results – With maintenance, improvements last for years
• Works for men and women – Effective for various types of hair loss

 

Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP?

 

PRP hair treatment works best for:

• People experiencing early-stage hair thinning
• Those with androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness)
• Individuals who want a natural alternative to medications or surgery

PRP may not be as effective for people with severe baldness or scarred follicles.

FAQs: PRP Hair Treatment

 

What’s the difference between PRGF vs PRP?

PRGF (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) are both regenerative treatments that use plasma from your own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. The main difference is that PRGF is a more refined version of PRP, containing a higher concentration of growth factors while reducing inflammatory cells. PRP is widely used for hair restoration because it stimulates dormant hair follicles, improves blood flow, and encourages hair regrowth. PRGF is often used in wound healing and dentistry but can also be applied to hair restoration in some cases.

Does PRP actually regrow hair?

Yes, PRP can help regrow hair, especially in areas experiencing thinning or early-stage hair loss. PRP contains growth factors that activate hair follicles, increase blood supply to the scalp, and improve hair density. While it may not work for completely bald areas where follicles are no longer active, it can be highly effective in slowing hair loss and improving hair thickness over time.

How long does PRP last for hair?

Results from PRP hair treatment typically last between 12 to 18 months. However, this varies depending on factors like genetics, hair loss severity, and lifestyle. Many people schedule maintenance sessions once or twice a year to sustain results and continue supporting hair growth. Without maintenance, hair may gradually return to its previous thinning state.

How many PRP sessions are needed for hair?

Most people need three to six PRP sessions for the best results, with treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart. Hair restoration is a gradual process, so noticeable improvements typically appear after the second or third session. To maintain long-term benefits, follow-up treatments every six to twelve months may be recommended.

How painful is PRP for hair?

PRP injections can cause mild discomfort, but most clinics apply a numbing agent to minimize pain. Patients often describe the sensation as slight pressure or pinching, similar to microneedling. Any discomfort is temporary and usually subsides within a few minutes after the procedure. Some mild scalp tenderness or redness may occur for a few hours after treatment, but this is normal and short-lived.

What happens if I stop PRP?

If you stop PRP treatments, the benefits will gradually fade, and hair loss may resume. Since PRP does not permanently alter genetic hair loss patterns, maintenance treatments are often recommended to preserve results. Without ongoing stimulation, hair follicles may weaken again, leading to a return of thinning or shedding over time.
