What is PRP treatment?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment in which a person's blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp.

PRP Therapy Procedure

PRP therapy is a three-step process. Most PRP therapy requires three treatments 4-6 weeks apart

Maintenance treatments are required every 4-6 months

Your blood is drawn typically from your arm and put into a centrifuge (a machine that spins rapidly to separate fluids of different densities).

After about 10 minutes in the centrifuge, your blood will have separated into in three layers:

• platelet-poor plasma
• platelet-rich plasma
• red blood cells

The platelet-rich plasma is drawn up into a syringe and then injected into areas of the scalp that need increased hair growth.
