PRP hair treatment

The principle

PRP (or Platelet Rich Plasma) uses the growth factors present in the blood to combat hair loss and stimulate regrowth. The injected cells (platelets) release numerous growth factors that act directly on the hair follicles, encouraging them to strengthen existing hair and build new ones. New blood vessels also develop. PRP slows hair loss and encourages regrowth, thereby increasing hair density.

Indications

Injections of PRP into the scalp help to slow down hair loss (seasonal changes, hormonal modifications, alopecia, etc.) and to stimulate hair regrowth treating, for example, incipient baldness: hairline, temporal gulfs or diffuse alopecia. Certain scalp conditions can also be treated, such as scalp irritation or dandruff.

PRP injections can be accompanied by light therapy (LED) and scalp microneedling to optimize hair growth.

This treatment is also an excellent complement to hair transplantation, to help the grafts take well and accelerate healing in the donor area. Injections of PRP combined with stem cells can also be an effective treatment option and are offered at the Claris Clinic.

The session

Before any treatment, a consultation with the specialist and an analysis of your scalp will enable us to establish the right indication and discuss your medical history as well as your expectations in terms of hair loss.

Platelet-rich plasma injections can be performed under local anesthesia for greater comfort. A simple blood test is performed. This blood is then centrifuged to separate the various components and recover the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).

The PRP is collected in a syringe and then reinjected into the areas where the hair is rarefied, using a very fine needle. PRP is a component specific to the patient and therefore presents no risk of allergy or rejection. This process is 100% biocompatible.

The session lasts about 30 to 40 minutes. Discomfort is minimal. You can resume your daily activities immediately after treatment.

Depending on the patient (male or female), one to three sessions at six-month intervals. One or two annual maintenance sessions are recommended to maintain results and stop hair loss.
