Overview
Platelet-rich plasma from the patient’s own blood is sometimes used on the scalp as an adjunct in patterned hair loss.
What concerns it may be used for
It may be discussed for selected thinning. It does not guarantee new hair and does not treat every cause of loss.
How it generally works
Blood is drawn, processed, and placed into the scalp by a clinician. Protocols vary.
Who may be considered
People considering this service need an in-person or clinic assessment. Medical history, medicines, skin type and the specific concern all affect whether it is appropriate.
Safety and clinical assessment
Injectable and regenerative aesthetic procedures must be assessed clinically. They are not suitable for everyone and are not intended for self-treatment. Discuss risks, aftercare and alternatives before any decision. Cosmetic procedures carry risks. A consultation should cover indications, risks, benefits, alternatives, realistic expectations, recovery and cost. Suitability, treatment parameters and expected outcomes vary by skin type, concern and clinical assessment. Individual results vary.
