PRP for Hair Loss

PRP for hair loss treatments use the patient's own plasma which contains growth factors. PRP is injected into the scalp to provide nutrients for existing hair follicles and promote the growth of new follicles.

You must be well hydrated the day before and day of the procedure. It is not required but recommended to avoid the sun, alcohol, and ibuprofen the day before treatment.

Some patients do experience discomfort in the immediate aftermath of the procedure, although most people do not report suffering any pain. It is possible that the procedure may cause some swelling and tenderness, but this should subside within one to three days. You may wear a loose hat to conceal any redness if desired.
