PRP for Hair (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP for hair is a regenerative, non-surgical treatment that uses the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate hair follicles, support hair regrowth, and improve scalp health. By concentrating growth factors from the patient’s blood and injecting them into the scalp, PRP enhances the natural hair growth cycle and strengthens existing hair.
At our clinic in Lisbon, PRP hair treatments are individually planned and performed by boardcertified plastic surgeons, with a strong focus on medical precision, safety, and natural, long-term results. PRP is commonly used in cases of early hair thinning and diffuse hair loss in both women and men.
What PRP for Hair Does
- Stimulates dormant and weakened hair follicles
- Supports natural hair regrowth
- Improves hair density and thickness
- Strengthens existing hair shafts
- Enhances scalp health and microcirculation
Who Is PRP for Hair Suitable For
PRP for hair is suitable for women and men who:
- Experience early-stage hair thinning or diffuse hair loss
- Wish to slow the progression of hair loss
- Want to strengthen existing hair and improve hair quality
- Prefer a non-surgical, regenerative treatment approach
PRP is not intended to replace hair transplantation but can be used as a standalone treatment or as part of a comprehensive hair restoration strategy.
Treatment Areas
- Scalp, focusing on areas of thinning or reduced hair density
Treatment Protocol
- Blood is drawn from the patient and processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma
- PRP is injected into the scalp using fine needles
- Typically performed as a series of 3 to 4 treatment sessions
- Sessions are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart
- Procedure is carried out in a medical outpatient setting
When Do Results Become Visible?
- Reduced hair shedding may be noticed after the first treatment sessions
- Hair regrowth and improved density typically develop gradually over several months
- Optimal results are usually seen after completion of the full treatment series
Results and Longevity
- Gradual improvement in hair density, strength, and overall hair quality
- Results depend on individual factors and the stage of hair loss
- Maintenance treatments may be recommended to support long-term hair health
Downtime and Safety
- Minimal to no downtime
- Temporary redness or mild scalp sensitivity may occur
- High safety profile due to the use of the patient’s own blood
Combination Treatments
PRP for hair can be effectively combined with other non-surgical, medically guided hair treatments to optimize results and support long-term hair health, including:
- Hair mesotherapy with vitamins, amino acids, and growth-supporting substances
- Medical microneedling of the scalp to enhance follicular stimulation and improve penetration of regenerative factors
- Exosome-based scalp treatments to support cellular communication and follicular regeneration
- Individualized medical topical therapies, prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan
These combination protocols are tailored to the underlying cause of hair loss and are commonly used to improve hair density, strength, and scalp health over time.
