PRP AND HAIR CARE · TREATMENT
PRP for hair
PRP is prepared from your own blood and may be considered for selected cases of pattern hair loss. The cause of thinning must be diagnosed first; PRP is not a treatment for every type of hair loss.
Is it right for me?
A scalp assessment is needed to distinguish pattern thinning from shedding, inflammation or scarring. Some causes need medical treatment or referral first.
Blood and platelet disorders, anemia, active infection and medicines affecting clotting need assessment. Being prepared from your own blood does not remove contamination or injection risks. Do not stop prescribed medication on the basis of this page.
Evidence and realistic expectations.
Randomized studies have found improved hair density in some patients with pattern hair loss, while other small trials found no clear benefit. Preparation and schedules vary, so a positive study does not establish a universal PRP course.
Discuss established medical options, including minoxidil and other prescription treatments where suitable. PRP is a possible option within that discussion, not a guaranteed replacement or a way to restore every bald area.
Risks to understand.
Using your own blood does not remove all risk. Blood-draw bruising, injection soreness, infection and reactions to other materials used during the visit are possible.
What to expect.
Consultation
Discuss your concern, medical history, previous treatments and what you would like to preserve. Dr. Roy will explain suitable options, alternatives, risks and fees before you decide.
Treatment
A small blood sample is processed to prepare platelet-rich plasma. Dr. Roy explains the proposed use, application method and aftercare before treatment.
Recovery
The blood draw can bruise, and treated areas may be sore, swollen or marked. When combined with another procedure, recovery also follows that procedure.
Results and review
Hair-cycle changes take months to assess. Review may extend across approximately three to six months, with no promise of regrowth for every patient.
Number of visits
A course may be considered with photographs and review points to assess response. Maintenance is discussed only if there is a reason to continue.
