How does PRP improve hair loss?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) plays an increasingly important role in treating hair loss thanks to its ability to naturally and safely stimulate hair growth.

To better understand PRP’s role in improving hair loss, let’s explore it with Dr. Nguyen Dac Khoi Nguyen, Anh Tu Clinic!

1. Mechanism of PRP in hair loss treatment

• PRP is platelet-rich plasma, separated from the patient’s own peripheral blood. Platelets contain numerous growth factors.

• These factors help:
  • Stimulate hair follicle growth.
  • Prolong the anagen phase (growth phase of the hair cycle).
  • Promote blood vessel formation to nourish hair follicles.
  • Slow down hair loss and increase hair density.

2. PRP applications for different types of hair loss

1. Androgenetic hair loss (AGA – Androgenetic Alopecia)

• This is the most common indication.

• Many RCT (randomized controlled trials) studies show that PRP improves hair density, hair shaft thickness, and prolongs regrowth time.

• Usually more effective in the early stages of AGA.

2. Postpartum or stress-related hair loss

• PRP helps quickly restore hair growth after physiological stress.

3. Alopecia Areata (patchy hair loss)

• Effectiveness is less consistent than for AGA, but it can help reduce inflammation and support hair regrowth in mild cases.

4. Hair restoration after procedures (hair transplant, mesotherapy, laser…)

• PRP can be used in combination to promote healing and optimize treatment results.

3. Clinical results and treatment duration

• Treatment course: usually requires at least 3–6 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

• Time to see results: from the 3rd–6th month, with improvements in hair density and thickness.

• Optimization: PRP can be combined with microneedling, laser, and topical/oral treatments such as minoxidil or finasteride (for men).

Advantages of PRP

• Uses the patient’s own blood → reduces the risk of allergy or side effects.

• Minimally invasive, no downtime required.

• Effective if the treatment course and hair care are properly maintained.

Notes when using PRP

• Effectiveness depends on hair loss condition, blood collection and PRP separation technique, treatment frequency, and equipment used.

• Not highly effective for scarring hair loss or long-standing hair loss with fibrosed follicles.
