Arrange Your Free Consultation
A consultation provides time to discuss your hair loss concerns, assess suitability, and understand which treatment options may be appropriate based on individual circumstances.
There is no obligation to proceed with treatment.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP (PlateletRich Plasma) therapy involves using components of a patient’s own blood. A small blood sample is collected and processed to concentrate platelets, which are then applied to targeted areas of the scalp.
PRP therapy is used in various medical fields and may be considered for some individuals experiencing hair thinning or early hair loss. It is not a hair transplant procedure and does not involve the movement of hair follicles.
Not sure which treatment is right for you?
A medical consultation allows assessment of hair loss type, donor hair availability, and long‑term planning before any treatment is considered.
How PRP Therapy Is Performed
PRP therapy typically involves the following steps:
- Medical consultation and assessment
- Collection of a small blood sample
- Processing of the sample to isolate plateletrich plasma
- Application of PRP to selected areas of the scalp
The procedure is performed in a clinical setting using established medical and infection control protocols. Treatment duration and frequency vary depending on individual factors and treatment planning.
Who May Be Suitable for PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy may be considered for individuals who:
- Are experiencing early or mild hair thinning
- Wish to explore nonsurgical treatment options
- Are not suitable candidates for surgical procedures
- Are seeking adjunctive treatment as part of a broader plan
Suitability depends on hair loss type, medical history, scalp condition, and individual circumstances. These factors are discussed during consultation.
Who May Not Be Suitable for PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy may not be appropriate for everyone. It may not be recommended for individuals who:
- Have advanced hair loss with limited viable hair follicles
- Have certain blood or medical conditions
- Are taking medications that may affect platelet function
- Are seeking predictable or immediate outcomes
Alternative options, including surgical procedures or other medical treatments, may be discussed where appropriate.
PRP Therapy as Part of a Treatment Plan
PRP therapy may be considered as a standalone treatment or in combination with other hair loss management options.
At Dr Graft Hair Transplant, PRP therapy is discussed in the context of overall hair and scalp health, longterm management, and individual goals. No treatment is recommended without medical assessment.
