PRP for Hair Loss: How It Works & Who It’s Best For

Hair thinning can happen gradually—or seem like it starts overnight. If you’re noticing more hair in your brush, a receding hairline, or a loss of overall volume, you’re not alone.

At The Derm Lab, we offer PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy—an evidence-based, non-surgical treatment that uses your body’s own healing cells to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health.


💉 What Is PRP?

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma—a component of your blood rich in growth factors and regenerative proteins.

The process is simple:

  1. A small sample of your blood is drawn.
  2. It’s spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRP.
  3. The concentrated PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp.

These injections stimulate dormant hair follicles, increase blood supply, and promote the natural regrowth cycle.


🧬 What Hair Loss Conditions Can PRP Help With?

PRP can be beneficial for both men and women experiencing:

  • Androgenetic alopecia (genetic pattern baldness)
  • Thinning hair due to age or stress
  • Postpartum hair loss
  • Hair shedding (telogen effluvium)
  • Receding hairlines
  • Overall reduction in scalp density

✅ Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration

  • Drug-free, natural solution using your own blood
  • Minimal discomfort and no downtime
  • Can be combined with other treatments like Dutasteride or Minoxidil
  • Supports scalp health and follicle function
  • Results that improve over time with regular sessions

🕒 What to Expect During the Treatment

Each PRP session at The Derm Lab takes around 45 minutes and is designed to be comfortable, effective, and results-driven:

  • A topical numbing cream is applied to the scalp
  • A small blood sample is taken
  • We use REGENLAB® kits—a premium PRP system backed by medical-grade research
  • Your PRP is extracted, then precisely injected into thinning or receding areas
  • Every session includes LED light therapy to calm inflammation and stimulate follicle activity

📆 PRP Treatment Schedule

We typically recommend a course of 6 treatments, spaced monthly over 6 months. However, if your schedule is demanding, we can tailor this to bi-monthly appointments without compromising long-term results.

Ongoing maintenance is recommended every 6–12 months, depending on your individual progress.


🔍 Is PRP Right for You?

PRP is best suited for people who:

  • Are in the early to moderate stages of hair thinning
  • Want a non-surgical, natural option
  • Have realistic expectations about gradual improvement
  • Prefer a treatment with minimal risk or side effects
