What is PRP hair loss treatment?

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A small sample of your blood is processed to concentrate the platelet-rich portion, which is then introduced into targeted areas of the scalp. The treatment uses components from your own blood and aims to support the scalp environment and activity around existing hair follicles.

Does PRP work for hair loss in both men and women?

PRP may be considered for both men and women with early to moderate hair thinning where follicles remain active. This can include male or female pattern hair loss and some forms of diffuse thinning. Because hair loss has many possible causes, suitability must be assessed individually before treatment.

How many PRP hair treatments will I need?

Our PRP hair package includes five sessions at $250 per session, for a total package price of $1,250. The spacing of appointments and any later maintenance recommendations depend on your pattern of hair loss, scalp condition, and response to treatment.

How long does PRP hair treatment take?

Allow approximately 45 to 60 minutes for a PRP hair appointment, including preparation and treatment. Timing varies with the size of the area being treated and your individual protocol.

Is PRP hair treatment painful?

Sensation varies. Most people feel pressure, pinching, or brief tenderness as the scalp is treated. Your practitioner will talk you through comfort measures and what to expect before the procedure begins.

Is there downtime after PRP for hair loss?

Downtime is generally minimal. Temporary redness, tenderness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, or bruising can occur around treated areas. Most people return to normal daily activity shortly after treatment, with personalised aftercare provided by their practitioner.

When might I notice a change in my hair?

Hair changes are gradual because follicles move through a natural growth cycle. Some people first notice changes in shedding or hair quality over several months. Visible density takes longer to assess, and results vary between individuals. Progress photography can help track change objectively.

Can PRP regrow hair on a completely bald area?

PRP relies on the presence of viable hair follicles. It is less likely to help where follicles are no longer active or an area has been smooth and bald for a long time. An in-person assessment is the best way to set realistic expectations and discuss other pathways if PRP is not suitable.

The Treatment

Your biology,
carefully prepared

PRP concentrates platelets from a small sample of your own blood, then places the prepared plasma where hair is thinning.

Platelets contain signalling proteins involved in tissue repair and cellular activity. When PRP is introduced into targeted areas of the scalp, the aim is to support the environment around viable follicles and encourage healthier hair-cycle activity. It does not create new follicles, and it is not a substitute for diagnosing the cause of hair loss.

That is why every treatment plan begins with a conversation and scalp assessment. If PRP is unlikely to suit your pattern or stage of hair loss, our practitioners will explain that clearly and discuss appropriate next steps.

One Treatment, Different Patterns

PRP for women and men

Hair loss rarely looks the same from one person to the next. The language may differ—widening part, shedding, receding hairline, crown thinning—but the first question is always the same: are active follicles still present to support?

Women’s hair thinning

Women often notice a wider part, less volume through the crown, or diffuse shedding rather than a distinct bald patch. Hormonal changes, stress, nutrition, illness, medication, and genetic pattern hair loss can all play a role. Assessment helps distinguish a suitable PRP case from hair loss that should be investigated elsewhere first.

Men’s hair thinning

Men commonly present with recession at the temples, a changing hairline, or reduced density at the crown. PRP may be considered while follicles remain active, particularly in earlier stages. Long-standing smooth bald areas are less likely to respond to a follicle-supporting treatment.

Treatment Process

What happens at a PRP hair appointment

A measured process gives your practitioner time to assess, prepare, treat, and review—without treating hair loss as a one-size-fits-all concern.

Assess

We begin with the pattern, timing, and progression of your hair loss, as well as relevant health and lifestyle factors. If the cause needs further investigation, treatment may be deferred or another pathway recommended.

Prepare

A small blood sample is collected and placed in a centrifuge. This separates the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components so it can be prepared for targeted scalp treatment.

Treat

The prepared PRP is introduced into areas of thinning using fine, precisely placed injections. Your practitioner works to the agreed treatment map and explains aftercare before you leave.

Review

Progress is assessed over time rather than after one appointment. Consistent photography and planned reviews help determine whether your course or maintenance schedule should be adjusted.

Experienced Hands

Hair loss deserves more than a standard protocol. Our experienced practitioners assess the whole pattern, explain what PRP can—and cannot—reasonably address, and tailor each treatment map to the individual in the chair.

Suitability

Who may consider PRP for hair loss?

PRP is generally discussed for early to moderate thinning, while follicles are still present. It is not suitable for everyone, and sudden, patchy, unexplained, or medically complex hair loss may need investigation before cosmetic treatment is considered.

A widening part or reduced density through the top of the scalp

Early crown thinning or a gradually receding hairline

Male or female pattern hair loss with active follicles

Diffuse thinning after an appropriate assessment of possible causes

People seeking a non-surgical treatment using their own plasma

Those comfortable with a course of treatment and gradual change

Results & Aftercare

Change follows the hair cycle

PRP hair restoration is gradual. The aim is to support existing follicles—not manufacture an overnight result.

Early changes may include a shift in shedding or the feel and quality of existing hair. Visible density is assessed over months, with response influenced by the cause and stage of hair loss, age, health, genetics, and consistency with the recommended course. Maintenance may be discussed if you respond well.

After treatment, temporary scalp sensitivity, redness, swelling, bruising, or pinpoint bleeding can occur. You will receive aftercare matched to your treatment, including when to wash your hair and return to strenuous exercise.

Individual results, treatment plans, and recovery vary. PRP cannot restore follicles that are no longer viable, and no specific level of regrowth can be guaranteed.

Clinical Evidence

What has been studied?

PRP has been investigated in randomised trials involving men and women with androgenetic or pattern hair loss. These studies provide useful evidence, but they are generally small and use different preparation methods, treatment schedules, and outcome measures.

The studies below do not evaluate 99 Medispa’s specific five-session package and should not be read as a guarantee of individual results.

Randomised PRP trial in female pattern hair loss
A prospective randomised controlled trial of 30 women compared PRP with saline placebo and assessed hair density, calibre, and blinded photography through week 24.
