Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair uses growth factors from your own blood to support weakened hair follicles. It works best for early to moderate thinning, where follicles are still alive but producing finer, shorter hairs. At Charisma, PRP is planned as a course with clear review points, not a one-off injection.
Why Choose Charisma for PRP Hair Treatment
- Cause-first approach — hair loss is assessed with history, scalp examination and blood tests where needed (iron, thyroid, vitamin D, hormones).
- Sterile, closed PRP kits — single-use systems for preparation.
- Structured protocol — an induction phase, photo reviews and a maintenance plan.
- Combination options — PRP with microneedling, exosomes, mesotherapy or medical therapy.
- Free OligoScan assessment — to flag nutritional factors linked to shedding.
What Is PRP for Hair?
A small blood sample is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets. These platelets release growth factors that improve blood supply to follicles, extend the growth (anagen) phase and encourage resting follicles to re-enter growth. The plasma is injected across thinning areas of the scalp.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Male and female pattern hair loss — in early or moderate stages.
- Diffuse thinning — including shedding linked to stress, illness or after childbirth, once the cause is addressed.
- Before or after a hair transplant — to support grafts and surrounding hair.
Who Is Not a Candidate?
- Completely bald areas — PRP cannot regrow hair where follicles are gone.
- Blood or platelet disorders — or patients on anticoagulants that cannot be paused.
- Active scalp infection — or uncontrolled scalp conditions.
- Pregnancy — treatment is postponed.
PRP for Women’s Hair Loss and Postpartum Shedding
Female pattern hair loss usually shows as a widening part and thinner crown. PRP is a good option because it is drug-free. Postpartum shedding often recovers on its own within months; PRP may be considered if thinning persists after that period and iron and thyroid levels are normal.
Key Benefits
- Less shedding — often noticed within the first two months.
- Thicker strands — increased hair diameter over the course.
- Natural treatment — uses your own blood.
- No downtime — return to normal activities the same day.
Procedure
- Consultation and scalp photos — baseline images for comparison.
- Blood draw — similar to a routine blood test.
- Centrifugation — plasma is separated and prepared.
- Scalp preparation — cleansing and numbing as needed.
- Injections — small, evenly spaced injections across thinning areas.
- Aftercare advice — about 45 to 60 minutes in total.
How Many PRP Sessions for Hair?
- Induction — 3 to 4 sessions about 4 weeks apart.
- Review — photos compared at 3 and 6 months.
- Maintenance — one session every 4 to 6 months.
PRP Hair Results Timeline
- Month 1 — scalp health improves; shedding may start to slow.
- Month 3 — less shedding and early new growth.
- Month 6 — visible density and thicker strands in good responders.
PRP vs Exosomes vs Hair Transplant
- PRP — uses your own growth factors; best for early thinning.
- Exosomes — lab-prepared signalling vesicles, an option for patients who cannot have PRP or want added support.
- Hair transplant — moves follicles to bald areas; PRP often supports the result.
PRP with Microneedling or Minoxidil
Scalp microneedling before PRP can improve distribution and adds its own stimulation. Medical treatments such as minoxidil, prescribed by your doctor, work through different pathways and are often combined with PRP for better results.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
- Wash your hair on the day, without styling products.
- Eat and hydrate — before the blood draw.
- Avoid blood thinners — for a few days if your doctor agrees.
Aftercare
- No washing for 24 hours.
- No hair products or heat styling for 48 hours.
- Avoid heavy exercise and direct sun on the scalp for a day or two.

Does PRP work for everyone?
Response varies. Early thinning responds better than advanced loss.
