Hair PRP - Platelet-Rich Plasma for Hair
Concentrated growth factors from your own blood, applied to the scalp to support follicle health and hair
density.
Hair PRP is one of the most well-supported regenerative treatments for hair thinning and loss. It involves
extracting a small amount of blood, concentrating the platelet-rich plasma through centrifugation, and
injecting it into the scalp at targeted points.
The growth factors released by platelets stimulate follicle
activity, support blood supply to the hair roots, and may extend the active growth phase of the hair cycle.
Recent clinical evidence, including systematic reviews and randomised controlled trials, supports PRP as
an effective therapy for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) in both men and women.
WHO IT MAY SUIT
Hair PRP may be suitable for individuals with androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss), early-stage hair thinning, telogen effluvium recovery, those seeking non-surgical hair restoration options, or patients who want to combine PRP with medical hair loss therapy for enhanced results.
HOW IT’S APPROACHED AT ZARS
At ZARS, Hair PRP is recommended based on a proper diagnosis of the type and stage of hair loss.
Not everyone with hair concerns will benefit from PRP, and this is discussed honestly during consultation.Treatment follows a standardised preparation protocol to ensure optimal platelet concentration.
Injections are performed by a doctor with precise placement across the scalp. PRP is often recommended as part of a comprehensive hair loss management plan that may include medical therapy, nutritional support, and scalp care.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before: A scalp and hair assessment to confirm suitability. You should be hydrated and have eaten. Avoid blood thinners if medically possible.
During: A small blood sample is drawn and processed. PRP is then injected into the scalp using fine needles. The entire procedure takes approximately 45–60 minutes.
After: Mild soreness or tenderness at injection sites is normal and resolves within 1–2 days. You can wash your hair the next day and return to normal activities immediately.
RESULTS & EXPECTATIONS
Hair PRP delivers gradual results. Reduction in hair shedding may be noticed within 4–8 weeks.
Improvement in hair density and quality typically becomes apparent after 3–6 months and multiple sessions.
A course of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is standard, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–12 months.
