Hair

PRP for hair

PRP is offered for hair loss where the assessment has found no untreated general cause. The protocol runs over several months: hair grows slowly, and nothing can be judged before three to four months.

Duration: 30 min
Protocol: Closely spaced then spread-out sessions, over several months

Indications

Diffuse hair loss
Thinning hair
After correcting a deficiency

How it goes

The initial consultation
Examination, discussion of your request, screening for contraindications and a written plan. No procedure is carried out on the day of the first consultation: the time to think it over is yours.
Assessing the hair loss
Examination of the scalp, history of the loss and, most often, blood tests. An iron deficiency or a thyroid disorder is treated first: no local procedure compensates for a general cause.
Sessions and follow-up
The protocol runs over several months, with closely spaced sessions that are then spread out. Hair grows slowly: nothing can be judged before three to four months, and photographic follow-up serves as an objective reference.

Frequently asked questions

Is it painful?

A numbing cream is applied beforehand and most products contain a local anaesthetic. The sensation is most often described as pressure, sometimes a brief sting.

Are there contraindications?

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, an active skin infection, some autoimmune conditions and certain medications are among them. They are checked in consultation, not ticked on a form — and they can lead to a refusal.

What result can I expect?

No result can be guaranteed: it depends on your skin, your age, your lifestyle and the indication retained. What can be stated is what the procedure aims at and what it does not do. The rest is discussed in consultation, in front of your face rather than a photograph.
