PRP is not a permanent solution and does not guarantee new hair growth. It is not appropriate for every type or stage of hair loss.
PRP Hair Restoration may be considered for adults with selected types of gradual hair thinning who want to discuss a non-surgical injectable option.
A consultation may be appropriate if you:
PRP may not be appropriate for people with certain blood or platelet disorders, active scalp conditions, untreated medical causes of hair loss, or health factors that affect healing or injection safety.
Sudden, patchy, painful, or rapidly progressing hair loss requires an appropriate medical evaluation before aesthetic treatment.
A scalp examination, laboratory testing, or referral to a dermatologist may be recommended before PRP treatment.
PRP should not delay the diagnosis or treatment of an underlying medical or scalp condition.
Platelet-rich plasma, commonly called PRP, is prepared from a sample of your own blood.
The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate a platelet-rich portion of the plasma. This preparation is then injected into selected areas of the scalp.
Platelets contain proteins involved in the body’s normal healing processes. PRP has been studied as a possible treatment for certain types of hair loss, but research methods and treatment protocols vary.
Using a preparation made from your own blood does not mean that the procedure is risk-free or that results are guaranteed.
Your provider will explain the preparation method, injection plan, and expected appointment length before treatment.
Response varies. Some people may notice improvement, while others may experience limited or no visible change.
PRP cannot guarantee that dormant or inactive follicles will produce new hair. It does not stop every cause of hair loss and cannot restore hair in every area.
Hair grows slowly, so PRP response cannot be assessed immediately after treatment.
Your provider may use photographs, scalp observations, or other appropriate methods to monitor changes over time.
The condition of the hair follicles, cause and duration of hair loss, health factors, and adherence to the treatment plan can influence results.
If PRP may be appropriate, your provider explains:
Tell your provider about:
Do not stop prescribed medication unless instructed by the prescribing healthcare professional.
Follow the preparation instructions provided by the Lawa team before your appointment.
Temporary effects may include:
Other risks may include infection, injury to surrounding tissue, prolonged discomfort, scarring, or an unsatisfactory treatment response.
Avoid scratching or applying unapproved products to the treated scalp. Follow the washing and activity instructions provided by your care team.
Contact the Lawa team if you experience worsening pain, spreading redness, drainage, fever, significant swelling, or another concerning reaction.
PRP may be only one part of a broader approach to hair loss.
Depending on your evaluation, your provider may discuss:
Do not begin or stop hair-loss medication or supplements without discussing the change with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Your hair-restoration consultation may connect with other areas of care at Lawa when appropriate.
