How Often Can I Get PRP Therapy for Hair Loss?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have emerged as a groundbreaking approach to help counteract hair thinning and baldness. PRP treatment entails taking a small sample of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting it into the scalp. The rich growth factors found in platelets stimulate the hair follicles, fostering natural hair growth and enhancing the thickness of hair strands. 

At Ospina Medical in New York City, we strive to offer the latest in cutting-edge treatments, including PRP hair restoration. Read more to learn about the benefits of PRP for hair loss   and how Dr. Matthew Kohler may be able to help you revitalize your follicles. 

How does PRP work for hair loss? 

PRP therapy works by stimulating the healing properties of your platelets. The treatment process begins with a simple blood draw. This small blood sample is then placed in a centrifuge that spins rapidly to separate the blood components. This isolates the platelets, creating a concentration rich in growth factors. These growth factors are instrumental in helping to trigger healing and stimulate hair follicles. After preparation, the PRP solution is injected directly into the areas of your scalp where hair thinning or loss is evident. These injections encourage natural hair regrowth by rejuvenating the hair follicles, extending the growth phase of the hair cycle, and enhancing hair shaft caliber. 

This process is virtually painless, and patients can typically return to their daily activities almost immediately after the procedure. It's a safe and effective treatment option offering significant improvement for individuals battling hair loss. 

Scheduling PRP treatment for hair loss 

When it comes to the frequency of PRP treatment for hair loss, it primarily depends on the individual's degree of hair loss and their specific response to the therapy. As a general rule, patients start with a series of 3 – 4 treatments; each typically spaced one month apart. Once this initial treatment phase is over, maintenance sessions are recommended every 4 – 6 months. 

Several factors can influence the frequency of PRP hair restoration. These might include your age, genetics, hormones, and the severity of your hair loss. While PRP can be effective in curbing hair loss and boosting hair growth, it is not a cure for baldness. During your hair loss consultation at our NYC office, Dr. Kohler will work with you to build a customized treatment plan to optimize your results.
