Who may be considered
PRP is commonly discussed in patterned hair loss and some shedding presentations after evaluation. Active infection, certain blood disorders, medications or another diagnosis may change suitability.
Why protocols differ
Blood collection, preparation systems, concentration, injection technique and treatment schedules vary. Patients should understand what is being offered and what other medical treatment remains necessary.
Assessing response
Hair density, shedding and shaft calibre change slowly. Consistent photography and a defined review point are more reliable than daily mirror checks. Lack of response should trigger reassessment rather than endless sessions.
Frequently asked questions
01Is PRP painful?
Scalp injections can be uncomfortable. The clinic can explain the preparation and pain-control approach.
02How many sessions are needed?
There is no single schedule for every patient. The plan depends on diagnosis, protocol and response.
03Can PRP replace hair-loss medicine?
Not automatically. For many diagnoses, medical treatment remains central.
