PRP for Hair Loss

A widening part, thinning crown or more visible scalp can affect how you feel about your hair. PRP may help some people with male or female pattern hair loss when hair follicles remain, but it is not a solution for complete baldness. Identifying the cause comes first; sudden shedding or scalp symptoms may need further medical assessment.

A starting plan often includes 3–4 monthly treatments, with progress reviewed over several months. Results vary, and maintenance may be needed. Our team can discuss PRP alongside other hair-loss options.

PRP for Facial Rejuvenation

If your under-eyes look tired or you are noticing fine lines and uneven texture, PRP may be one option to discuss. It may support changes in skin quality, but evidence is limited and it does not reliably correct pigmentation, puffiness or deeper hollows.

Facial PRP injections and PRP with microneedling are different treatments. Your clinician explains the recommended approach, number of sessions and recovery. Changes are gradual, and bruising or swelling may affect plans for work or an event.

Centrifuge used to prepare platelet-rich plasma for PRP treatment

What Is PRP?

Your blood, separated into platelets.

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A small blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, which spins it to separate the platelets and plasma from other blood components. Platelets release growth factors involved in the body's repair process. The platelet-rich portion is then prepared for your treatment. Depending on your plan, it may be injected into the skin or scalp, or used with microneedling.

Skin & Hair Concerns

Concerns PRP May Help Address

Different concerns need different approaches. These are areas you can discuss at an assessment; treatment is only recommended when suitable.

Under-Eye Skin & Fine Lines

Thin skin and fine lines can make under-eyes look tired. PRP may be considered for skin quality, but pigment, puffiness and deeper hollows may need a different approach.

Plan: Discuss a personalized series

Thinning Hair & Pattern Hair Loss

Noticing a more visible scalp, thinning crown or wider part? PRP may support hair growth in suitable patients with pattern hair loss. An assessment helps identify the cause first.

Plan: Often 3–4 monthly sessions

Facial Skin Texture & Fine Lines

PRP may be considered for changes in skin texture and fine lines. Facial rejuvenation evidence is limited, and improvement is gradual and variable.

Plan: Discuss a personalized series

Acne Scars & Uneven Texture

Acne scars vary in depth and type. PRP may be discussed alongside other treatments, but it should not be expected to erase scars.

Plan: Assessment before treatment

PRP Comparisons for Face & Hair

The right comparison depends on your concern. Choose face or hair to see how PRP differs from another option commonly discussed for that treatment area.

Before You Decide

What to Know Before PRP Treatment

Results vary. Consider potential benefits, suitability and risks with your clinician before choosing treatment.

01

What results can you expect?

Hair growth changes can take months, and some people see little improvement. Evidence for facial rejuvenation is more limited.

PRP is not guaranteed to regrow hair or remove scars, and it does not restore lost facial volume.

02

Is PRP right for you?

Your clinician reviews your health, medications, concern and goals. For hair loss, identifying the cause helps determine whether PRP or another option may be appropriate.

You can discuss alternatives and take time to decide.

Drink fluids as you normally would and follow your clinician's advice. If you have a medical fluid restriction, continue to follow it.

03

Part 02

After Your PRP Treatment

After Your Appointment
01

Follow Your Washing & Skincare Plan

Follow the instructions provided for cleansing, touching the area, makeup and hair washing. Contact the clinic if you are unsure which products or activities are suitable.

Ask About Pain Relief

If you have soreness, ask your clinician which pain relief is appropriate for your medical history and medicines. Do not change prescribed medication on your own.

03

Plan Your Return to Activities

Your clinician will advise when to resume exercise, swimming and heat exposure. Seek medical advice for worsening redness, swelling, pain, fever or other concerning symptoms.

Other Treatment Options

Treatments That May Complement PRP

Depending on your skin concerns and aesthetic goals, your clinician may recommend PRP or discuss other treatments that address different aspects of facial rejuvenation. Each treatment works differently, and combination approaches are considered only when clinically appropriate.

Pairing 01Texture & Pores

PRP + Medical Microneedling

The 'Vampire Facial'

Microneedling creates small channels in the skin and may be paired with PRP for texture concerns. Results vary; this combination does not guarantee smaller pores or removal of acne scars.

Skin TextureDiscuss This Option
Pairing 02Facial Volume & Skin Quality

PRP + Sculptra® Biostimulator

Gradual Collagen Support

Sculptra is used to support gradual collagen production in selected facial areas. PRP may be discussed separately for skin quality. Your clinician explains the evidence, risks and treatment spacing.

Discuss Treatment OptionsSculptra® PLLA
Pairing 03Facial Volume & Skin Quality

PRP + Dermal Fillers

Contour + Delicate Smoothing

Dermal fillers may address selected volume concerns, while PRP may be considered for skin quality. Under-eye treatment requires careful assessment, and both approaches have limitations and risks.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared by drawing a small blood sample and separating it in a centrifuge. The platelets release growth factors involved in tissue repair. PRP may support hair growth or changes in skin quality in selected patients, but results are not guaranteed.

PRP may be considered for some people with male or female pattern hair loss. A thinning crown or widening part should be assessed to identify the cause. Sudden shedding, postpartum changes and scalp inflammation may need a different approach. Your clinician will explain whether PRP or another treatment is more appropriate.

PRP may be considered for thin skin and fine lines under the eyes, but dark circles can also come from pigmentation, anatomy or other causes. It does not reliably replace lost volume or correct every hollow. Your assessment will cover realistic expectations and alternatives.

Hair treatment often begins with 3 to 4 monthly sessions, with progress assessed over several months. Facial treatment schedules depend on the concern and your response. Changes are gradual, some patients see little benefit, and maintenance may be recommended. Your clinician will explain the proposed schedule before treatment.

The duration of PRP results varies depending on the treatment area, underlying concern and individual response. Hair restoration may require maintenance sessions to help sustain improvements, while facial treatment outcomes are less predictable. Your clinician will discuss expected timelines and whether ongoing treatment may be appropriate.

Tell your clinician about all prescribed medicines, over-the-counter products and supplements. Some medicines can affect platelet function or bruising, so preparation advice must be individualized. Do not stop prescribed aspirin, blood thinners or any other prescribed medication without speaking with your prescribing clinician.

The blood draw and treatment can cause discomfort. Numbing or other comfort measures may be offered depending on the area. Temporary tenderness, bruising, swelling and redness can occur, and infection is possible. Using your own blood does not make PRP risk-free. Your clinician will discuss risks and suitability before treatment.

Recovery depends on the area and technique. Tenderness, redness, bruising or swelling may last a few days; visible facial bruising can last longer. Ask about timing if you have an event planned. Follow your individual instructions for washing, skincare, exercise and returning to your usual activities.

PRP injections place plasma into selected facial or scalp areas. A PRP microneedling treatment uses a microneedling device with PRP for skin concerns and is sometimes called a vampire facial. The treatment goals and recovery can differ. Combining treatments is only recommended when appropriate for your assessment.

PRP is not suitable for everyone. Your clinician reviews platelet or blood conditions, active infection, other medical conditions and medications before recommending care. Tell the team if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have new or unexplained hair loss, so your assessment and advice can be tailored to you.
