PRP Hair Restoration

PRP hair restoration is most often discussed for androgenetic alopecia—the gradual, pattern-type thinning common in both men and women—and sometimes as a supportive step before or after a hair transplant. The typical goal is to slow shedding and improve the thickness and density of existing, miniaturized hairs, with the crown and a widening part line among the most common areas of concern. It is not a way to create hair where follicles have already disappeared.

It helps to draw a clear boundary: PRP is an injection-based treatment, not hair transplantation, which surgically relocates follicles from one area to another. PRP can only act where living follicles remain, so smooth, long-bald areas and scarred scalp gain little from it. The clinical evidence is moderate—many studies suggest benefit, but preparation protocols vary widely and results are inconsistent—so it is usually positioned alongside established medical therapies rather than in place of them.
