PRP & Hair Mesotherapy
Support after a transplant and treatment for early-stage shedding.
PRP is the injection into the scalp of platelet-rich plasma separated from your own blood in a centrifuge. Hair mesotherapy delivers vitamin, mineral and amino acid mixtures by the same method. Neither is a surgical procedure; both aim to support the nourishment of the follicles and slow early-stage shedding. They do not replace a hair transplant — they complement it.

How it is done
- 01
Assessment
The scalp is examined and, where needed, blood values are checked first.
- 02
Preparation
For PRP, your own blood is drawn and separated in a centrifuge.
- 03
Application
Micro injections are made across the thinning area in a set pattern.
- 04
Scheduling
Sessions are planned as a course, typically four to six, spaced weeks apart.
Recovery timeline
- Same day
- Mild redness and tenderness; you return to normal activity immediately.
- Weeks 1–4
- Shedding may briefly increase before it settles; this is expected.
- Months 2–3
- Reduced shedding is usually the first noticeable change.
- Months 4–6
- Texture and thickness of existing hair may improve.
- Maintenance
- Repeat sessions are planned according to response, not on a fixed schedule.
Frequently asked questions
Can PRP regrow hair on a bald area?
No. PRP supports follicles that are still present but weakened. Where the follicle is gone, no injection brings it back — that area needs a transplant. Anyone promising otherwise is overstating what the method does.
How many sessions will I need?
A course is usually four to six sessions spaced two to four weeks apart, then maintenance according to response. The number is set after assessment, not in advance.
Is it painful?
The injections are brief and superficial. Topical numbing cream is applied if you prefer. Mild tenderness for a day afterwards is normal.
Can I have PRP after a transplant?
Yes, and it is commonly part of the follow-up plan — usually starting a few weeks after the procedure. The timing is decided at your review, not before.
