FAQ On: PRP for Hair (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Below you’ll find the questions we’re asked most often, but if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
The cost of a PRP hair treatment can vary depending on the clinic, the geographical area and the number of sessions required. On average, the price for a single PRP session ranges from €250 to €500. The total cost depends on the number of treatments required, which is usually between 3 and 6 sessions to achieve optimal results.
Although PRP treatment is considered safe as it uses the patient’s own blood, it is not recommended for those suffering from blood clotting disorders, autoimmune conditions or chronic illnesses, active infections or scalp conditions, or for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or who are taking anticoagulants or steroids. Before starting treatment, it is always important to consult a doctor to assess any potential contraindications.
Numerous studies and testimonials show that PRP can be effective in slowing hair loss and stimulating growth. However, results may vary depending on the extent of hair loss and the individual’s response to treatment. PRP is particularly beneficial for people with androgenetic alopecia or temporary hair loss.
The number of sessions required varies depending on the patient’s condition. Generally, an initial course of 3–6 treatments is recommended, with one session every 4–6 weeks. Following the initial course, maintenance sessions may be required every 4–6 months, depending on the patient’s response.
The side effects of PRP for hair are generally mild and temporary. Immediately after the treatment, you may experience redness, slight swelling, itching or tenderness in the treated area, but these symptoms usually disappear within a few hours or days. As the patient’s own blood is used, the risk of allergic reactions is extremely low.
