Hair PRP in Turkey

To prepare PRP, a small amount of blood is taken from your arm and spun in a centrifuge so that the platelets separate from the rest of the blood. The platelet-rich part of the plasma is then injected into the areas of the scalp where hair is thinning. Platelets carry growth factors, which is why PRP is being studied as a way to support hair follicles.

What PRP cannot do matters just as much. It does not create follicles where they have been lost, so it cannot fill a bald area, and it does not stop pattern hair loss for good. It works on the hair that is still there, which is why it is discussed alongside a transplant or medical treatment rather than instead of them.

Studies of PRP for pattern hair loss, many of them small, suggest it can improve hair density and thickness in some people. Results differ between studies and between patients, the way PRP is prepared and injected is not standardised, and the improvement usually needs repeated sessions to last. Dermatology and hair restoration societies describe it as a promising option that still needs larger, better-designed studies.

Evidence for PRP given alongside a hair transplant is more limited still. That is why we recommend it as support for the hair around the grafts, not as something that makes the transplant work.

There is no number that fits everyone. The number of PRP sessions and the time between them are set at your assessment, based on your hair loss, how it has developed and whether you have had a transplant. Be cautious of anyone who promises a fixed course with a guaranteed result.

Tell the team about any medicines, supplements and health conditions before the session. Hair loss that has a medical cause, such as a thyroid problem or iron deficiency, needs that cause looked at first.
