PRP for Hair Loss explained

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Platelets release growth factors that may support hair follicles and extend the hair growth phase. It is used mainly for pattern hair loss, often together with medicine.

How PRP for Hair Loss works

A nurse draws a small tube of blood, which is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich layer. The doctor injects it into the scalp in small amounts with a fine needle or a multi-needle injector gun. Evidence shows modest benefit for pattern hair loss, and results vary between people.
