PRP Hair Loss Treatment
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy for hair loss is a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting concentrated platelets, derived from your own blood, into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. Platelets contain growth factors that can encourage cell regeneration and tissue healing, which can help to boost hair follicles' health and vitality. This treatment is particularly popular for people experiencing thinning hair or early hair loss and is often recommended by dermatologists and trichologists.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines
-
Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications: Refrain from taking anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin, or blood-thinning medications at least a week before the treatment (unless prescribed by your doctor).
-
Stop Smoking & Alcohol Consumption: Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least 3 days before the procedure, as these can impact blood quality and healing.
-
Hydrate Well: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure optimal blood quality for the PRP process.
-
Wash Your Hair: Ensure your scalp and hair are clean on the day of treatment, as it minimizes the risk of infection.
-
Avoid Hair Products: Skip any hair styling products, sprays, or gels on the day of the procedure.​
Post-Treatment Care
-
Avoid Touching or Rubbing the Scalp: Refrain from touching or rubbing your scalp for at least 8 hours to allow the PRP to settle effectively.
-
Skip Washing Hair for 24 Hours: Hold off on washing your hair or using any hair care products for at least a day after treatment to prevent irritation.
-
Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure for a few days post-treatment to avoid irritation and sensitivity on the scalp.
-
Avoid Heavy Exercise: Skip intense exercise or sweating for about 2 days, as this can aggravate the scalp and impact the results.
-
No Hair Treatments: Avoid any additional hair treatments (such as coloring or chemical processing) for at least a week to allow the PRP to work without interruption.
PRP therapy is typically recommended as a series of sessions for optimal results, with sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
