PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is an autologous plasma preparation derived from the patient's own blood with a platelet concentration of 4-7 times normal levels. Growth factors released from α-granules of platelets — PDGF, VEGF, EGF, FGF, IGF-1 — activate dermal papilla cells, shifting the hair follicle cycle from telogen back to anagen phase.

03
Activation & MicroinjectionPlatelets activated with Ca-gluconate or mechanical agitation. 30G/32G needle, 0.05-0.1 ml/spot intradermal/subcutaneous injection at 1 cm intervals. Manual or U225 device, 30-45 min.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between PRP and hair transplant?
Hair transplant (FUE/DHI) is a surgical procedure where live hair follicles from donor area are transferred to balding region — brings back lost follicles. PRP is for revitalizing existing weakened follicles and slowing hair loss. Ideal approach: 2-3 PRP before transplant (donor strengthening), 3-4 PRP after (graft survival). For mild-moderate loss, PRP alone may suffice.
Are PRP results permanent?
PRP supports biological activity of hair follicles — doesn't permanently cure hair loss. Effect lasts 12-18 months; can be extended to 5+ years with regular maintenance (1 session every 6 months). Post-transplant PRP maintenance increases long-term graft survival by 15-30%.
Which hair loss type is PRP most effective for?
Strongest evidence in androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern) Norwood II-V and Ludwig I-II cases. Very fast response (3-4 sessions) in telogen effluvium (postpartum, stress, dieting). Combined with intralesional corticosteroid for active alopecia areata. Not effective in completely bald areas (closed follicles) — transplant required.
How many PRP sessions needed?
Standard protocol: 1 session/month × 4-6 months. 6 sessions recommended for active shedding. First effect in 6-12 weeks (reduction in shedding), significant density increase in 6-9 months. Then 1 maintenance session every 6 months.
Is PRP needed after hair transplant?
Not mandatory but recommended. Post-transplant PRP increases graft survival rate by 15-30%, accelerates healing, supports existing follicles. Protocol: 3 sessions total at months 1, 3 and 6 post-transplant.
Male: typically focuses on temporal and vertex regions (Norwood pattern). Female: frontal-parietal and top-of-scalp diffuse pattern (Ludwig pattern) targeted. Finasteride not used in females; minoxidil + PRP combination is base approach. Session count same for both (4-6 starter).
Which PRP brand is best?
Brand choice depends on skin type and goal. Regen Lab Cellular Matrix™ (PRP + HA) ideal for post-transplant graft support. Arthrex ACP leucocyte-poor — preferred in sensitive cases for lowest inflammatory response. Tropocells with 12 ml volume advantage suits large donor areas. Kit selection made by Experienced Team during consultation.
