Everyone wants to have lush and shiny hair. Unfortunately, many people face the common problem of baldness. Significant hair loss, therefore, also causes a decline in self-esteem and well-being. These changes affect both men and women of all ages. They can be the result of atmospheric changes, genetics, or inadequate scalp care.
Fortunately, we deal with comprehensive treatment of baldness through the use of platelet-rich plasma for hair. As a result, our patients can enjoy the effectiveness and safety of the method to achieve natural revitalization and regeneration of the skin and hair.
Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrate obtained from your own blood platelets in a small amount of plasma. It is obtained by centrifugation of blood previously collected from the patient. The concentrate consists of valuable growth factors that regenerate the skin, stimulate tissue regeneration and fibroblasts to produce new collagen.
This method is highly effective and safe because it allows you to enjoy the natural process of revitalization and regeneration of the hair skin while using a substance obtained from the patient’s blood. Along with mesotherapy, treatments using platelet-rich plasma are very popular in our Clinic, which is mainly due to the effectiveness of the method. Platelet-rich plasma for hair in the treatment of baldness is an innovative method that uses the patient’s blood plasma.
This substance consists of valuable active elements that stimulate the regeneration and biostimulation of the scalp. Growth factors are responsible for stimulating the functioning of hair follicles, reducing the amount of hair falling out and stimulating the growth of new ones. It is also worth noting that the plasma treatment for hair loss uses the patient’s own blood. Thanks to this, the applied substance does not cause inflammation or allergies, which could worsen the condition of the hair.
Platelet-rich plasma is also widely used due to its properties. It allows you to accelerate the healing of wounds, scars and unsightly skin lesions. This is why it enjoys such great recognition in aesthetic medicine. Patients can therefore enjoy spectacular effects in the form of stimulation of hair follicle stem cells to switch from a dormant state to activity. The presence of active platelets causes the scalp to be more moisturized and the functioning of the sebaceous glands is regulated. As a result, the formation of seborrhea is prevented.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair is a modern treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate the regeneration of hair follicles and improve the condition of the hair. The therapy supports natural hair growth by stimulating the repair processes of the scalp.

Indications
Scalp mesotherapy using platelet-rich plasma is a treatment recommended primarily to patients with excessive baldness, hair loss caused by improper nutrition, stress, pregnancy and lactation. Treatments can also be preventive and prevent the problem from getting worse. Platelet-rich plasma is also used in people who notice thinning hair on various parts of the head. The treatment can be performed both on the top of the head, above the forehead and in the temporal area.
Plasma hair treatment can be used by both men and women of all ages. The main indication for therapy is the problem of excessive and rapid hair loss. The doctor may also recommend platelet-rich plasma therapy for patients who struggle with alopecia areata, androgenetic and telogen effluvium, weakening of hair follicles, or reduced hair growth.
Contraindications
Patients who want to use plasma hair treatment must remember that, like any aesthetic medicine treatment, there are several contraindications that make the therapy impossible. These include, among others: pregnancy, lactation, taking blood-thinning medications and blood clotting problems.
Doctors also advise against performing the procedure in the case of people struggling with active malignant tumors, immunosuppression, active viral phases of infectious diseases, or thrombocytopenia. Therefore, before deciding to qualify the patient for the procedure, the doctor always conducts a thorough medical interview to exclude any possible contraindications to the therapy.
What does the procedure look like?
Hair treatment with platelet-rich plasma does not require any special preparation on the part of the patient. Just remember to discontinue anticoagulants and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs – aspirin, diclofenac, ibuprofen, ketoprofen and naproxen – a week before injecting the preparation into the scalp. On the day of the procedure, it is worth drinking large amounts of fluids (1.5 – 2 liters of water) and avoiding alcohol.
Before starting the procedure, the doctor also refers the patient to a medical consultation with a trichologist, during which the specialist conducts a medical interview. He also examines the hair and scalp with a trichoscope, thanks to which he can thoroughly analyze the condition of the hair and detect the cause of the problem. It is also a way to eliminate possible contraindications to starting therapy.
Before the doctor applies platelet-rich plasma to the scalp, he takes a small amount of the patient’s blood and then places the collected substance in a special centrifuge. In this machine, the plasma, together with the platelet concentrate, is separated from the remaining blood components (white and red blood cells). Once the plasma is obtained, it is placed in a syringe and applied to the scalp. For this purpose, small, thin and short needles are used. The plasma is administered to the patient exactly as it is during mesotherapy. Thanks to this, patients do not have to worry about extensive inflammation and redness.
The therapy of administering platelet-rich plasma to the scalp lasts approximately 30-60 minutes and usually requires local anesthesia. Patients do not have to worry about unpleasant pain during the procedure. Thin needles reduce the feeling of tingling, pinching and burning during the application of the substance. However, it is worth remembering that in order to enjoy satisfactory results, it is recommended to carry out a series of treatments – 3 to 4 every 4 – 6 weeks.
”The hair treatment with plasma is almost non-invasive, so the patient can return to daily activities the next day. However, it is worth remembering to avoid washing your hair for about 12 hours, using the sauna, swimming pool and hot baths after plasma therapy. It is also recommended to refrain from dyeing your hair for the next 24 hours. You should avoid the sun for about 6 weeks after the treatment to minimize the risk of discoloration. If the scalp is exposed to UV radiation, it is worth using a cream with an SPF +50 sun filter.

Some people sometimes experience slight redness after the treatment and local tenderness.
