learn Platelet-Rich Plasma

Concentrate of your own blood platelets, injected into the scalp

What exactly is platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and why is it popular for treating hair loss? PRP injects a concentrate of your own blood platelets into the scalp. Small trials show modest density gains, and it is used off-label.
How many PRP (platelet-rich plasma) sessions are used, and when might results show? There is no standard schedule. Trials usually gave about three monthly sessions and measured results after 3 to 6 months.
Is Platelet-Rich Plasma more effective when combined with topical treatments or supplements? Small, mostly high-risk-of-bias trials suggest adding PRP to minoxidil may improve hair density; the evidence is low to very low certainty, and no trial has tested PRP with supplements.
