PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair loss treatment is an advanced and effective option for addressing hair loss in men. By injecting PRP directly into the areas affected, this method harnesses the powerful growth factors found in platelets to stimulate cell growth and support tissue regeneration, promoting natural hair restoration.

What is PRP Hair Restoration
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for Hair Loss
PRP treatment uses a concentrated biological solution derived from the patient’s own blood. This plasma is rich in growth factors (such as TGF-beta, PDGF-AB, bFGF, IGF, VEGF, and EGF), bioactive proteins (including globulin, albumin, and fibrinogen), as well as essential nutrients, vitamins, hormones, and electrolytes. Together, these components support and accelerate tissue repair and regeneration.
During the preparation process, red blood cells and white blood cells (leucocytes) are removed, as they can hinder the healing and regeneration process. The resulting PRP is then injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, increase hair density, and reduce hair loss to more typical levels.
Visible improvements are often noticed within 90 days, with continued hair growth seen in some patients for up to six months. PRP can also be used alongside other hair restoration therapies, such as topical or oral minoxidil, oral finasteride, hair transplants, and supplements like Viviscal Professional.
This treatment has shown positive results in individuals with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata and is suitable for both men and women.
