PRP Hair Treatment in Rawalpindi
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from the patient’s blood and injected into selected scalp areas. Evidence suggests possible benefit for some non-scarring hair-loss patterns, but protocols and response vary and PRP does not create new follicles.
Treatment explained
What is PRP Hair Treatment?
A blood sample is centrifuged to produce platelet-concentrated plasma. Small injections place it into the scalp. PRP is not the same as exosomes, stem cells, SVF or hair filler products.
Problems and conditions
What can PRP Hair Treatment address?
- Selected androgenetic hair loss
- Patients seeking an adjunct to established care
- Selected support around transplant treatment after surgical advice
Possible suitability
Who may be a suitable candidate?
- Adults with a diagnosis likely to benefit
- Patients with remaining miniaturised follicles
- People able to have blood drawn and scalp injections
- Those who understand maintenance may be required
Safety screening
Who may not be suitable?
- Scarring alopecia without disease control
- A completely bald area with no follicles expected to respond
- Active scalp infection
- Certain platelet, blood, anaemia or medical conditions without clearance
This list is not exhaustive. The treating clinician must confirm contraindications and any condition-specific precautions.
Individual assessment
Consultation and treatment planning
Assessment confirms the hair-loss diagnosis, severity, donor plan, medicines, blood conditions and previous response. The role of PRP is compared with established medical therapy and transplantation.

PRP Hair Treatment FAQs
Does PRP regrow all lost hair?
No. It cannot create new follicles and is unlikely to restore advanced smooth bald areas.
How many PRP sessions are needed?
Protocols vary. An initial course and later maintenance may be discussed based on diagnosis and response.
Is PRP permanent?
No. Hair loss can progress and any benefit may require maintenance or other treatment.
Can PRP replace a hair transplant?
No. PRP may support existing follicles; a transplant redistributes follicles to selected bald areas.
Is PRP the same as stem cells or exosomes?
No. PRP is a platelet preparation from the patient’s own blood.
When will I see a result?
A fair assessment commonly takes three to six months because hair cycles are slow.
Can PRP be used after a transplant?
Some surgeons use it as an adjunct, but timing and expected benefit should be discussed with the transplant surgeon.
Who should avoid PRP?
Patients with active infection, significant anaemia, certain platelet or blood disorders or other unsafe circumstances may not be suitable.
