  • PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It's a treatment that uses a part of your own blood to help with healing and regeneration in different areas of the body, like the scalp (for hair growth) or the skin (for skin rejuvenation).

    For hair loss, PRP is used to stimulate the hair follicles (the part of your skin where hair grows). The growth factors in the platelets help to boost hair growth by encouraging the dormant hair follicles to become active again. It also improves blood flow to the scalp, which nourishes the hair follicles and may make your hair grow thicker and stronger.

    You usually need a few sessions to see the full effects, and results may start showing a few weeks after the treatment.

    PRP uses your own blood, it’s considered a natural treatment, which reduces the risk of side effects compared to treatments that use chemicals or synthetic substances.
