What Is Hair PRP?

Hair PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a physician-performed, non-surgical treatment for hair thinning and hair loss. It uses a concentrated preparation of your own blood plasma — rich in growth factors and bioactive proteins — injected directly into the scalp to support weakened hair follicles and promote healthier hair growth.

The treatment begins with a small blood draw from your arm, similar to a routine blood sample. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma. This PRP — containing a higher concentration of natural growth factors — is injected into targeted areas of the scalp where thinning is occurring.

These growth factors — including PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, IGF and EGF — help improve blood supply to the follicles, support the hair growth cycle, and enhance the overall environment of the scalp. This can contribute to stronger, healthier hair over time. Because PRP is derived entirely from your own blood, it is a natural treatment with no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.

Who Is Hair PRP For?

  • Men and women experiencing androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair thinning or loss)

  • Patients with early to moderate thinning — PRP is most effective when follicles are still present and viable

  • Those wanting a non-pharmaceutical, non-surgical approach to hair restoration

  • Patients post-hair transplant wanting to support graft survival and surrounding follicle health

The Hair PRP Procedure

Consultation

Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your scalp condition, pattern of hair thinning, and treatment history. Based on this, a personalised PRP protocol is recommended according to your individual needs.

Blood Draw

A small amount of blood (approximately 20–30ml) is taken from your arm. This takes around 5–10 minutes.

PRP Preparation

The blood is placed into a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma. This process takes approximately 15 minutes.

PRP Injection

The prepared PRP is injected across the scalp using a fine needle, targeting areas of thinning. The injections are delivered at the level of the hair follicles across the treatment zone.

Post-Treatment

The scalp may appear slightly red or feel mildly tender for 24–48 hours. This is normal and resolves quickly. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, with minor precautions such as avoiding intense exercise, heat exposure, or washing the hair for several hours after treatment.

Hair PRP vs Hair Transplant

Hair PRP

Hair PRP is a non-surgical, non-permanent treatment that supports follicle health and can maintain or improve the condition of existing, viable follicles. It is best used in areas where follicles are still present but weakened — slowing or stabilising the progression of loss and improving hair density without surgery.

Hair Transplant

Hair transplant surgery physically moves viable follicles from a donor area (typically the back and sides of the scalp) to areas of loss. It is the most definitive treatment for hair restoration in areas where follicles have been permanently lost. However, it is a surgical procedure with associated cost, recovery time, scarring, and a finite donor supply.

What to Expect

Blood draw and PRP preparation: 20 minutes. Scalp injection session: 45–75 minutes total. Mild scalp tenderness for 24 hours after treatment. New hair growth visible at 3–6 months. A course of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is standard, followed by maintenance every 4–6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hair PRP an effective treatment for hair loss?

Hair PRP has a well-established evidence base for androgenetic alopecia — the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women. Multiple controlled clinical studies have demonstrated that PRP reduces hair shedding, increases hair density and thickness, and stimulates new growth in patients with viable hair follicles. Effectiveness depends significantly on the degree of hair loss, the patient’s age, the underlying cause, and the quality of the PRP preparation. PRP is most effective in the early to moderate stages of thinning, where follicles are weakened but still present and responsive. Dr. Eak will give you an honest, realistic assessment of what PRP is likely to achieve for your specific pattern of loss at your consultation — including whether another treatment or combination approach would serve you better.

The number of sessions varies based on individual hair condition, degree of thinning, and treatment goals. In general, a course of multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart is commonly recommended, followed by maintenance treatments over time. Your personalised plan will be advised at consultation.

Most patients begin to notice reduced daily hair shedding within 4–8 weeks of starting treatment — this is typically the first sign the follicles are responding. Visible new hair growth and improved hair density become apparent at 3–6 months after beginning the treatment course. The full cumulative benefit of a complete course is usually visible at 6–12 months. Hair PRP requires patience — hair follicles operate on long biological cycles and results are not immediate. If you are expecting to see results within days or a few weeks, PRP is not the right expectation to have. The results, when they come, are gradual, natural-looking, and sustainable with maintenance.

The scalp is moderately sensitive, and most patients describe the injections as a brief sharp sensation at each point. The procedure is generally well tolerated. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand to improve comfort if needed, and the technique can be adjusted based on your preference.

Hair PRP has minimal downtime. You can return to normal daily activities immediately after your session. Your scalp may feel mildly tender for 24 hours, and you may notice small red marks or mild swelling at injection sites — this typically resolves within 24–48 hours. We recommend avoiding vigorous exercise, saunas, swimming pools, and direct sun exposure on the scalp for 24 hours after treatment, as these can affect the absorption and initial healing process. Avoid washing your hair for 4–6 hours after treatment. After that, normal hair washing and hair care can resume. Hair styling products can be used from the following day.

Yes — hair PRP is suitable for both men and women. It is commonly used for female pattern hair thinning and diffuse hair loss. Suitability depends on the underlying cause of hair loss, which is assessed during consultation.

Hair PRP has a strong safety profile as it uses your own blood. Mild redness, tenderness, or slight bruising at injection sites can occur temporarily. As with any injectable treatment, proper technique and hygiene are important. Suitability is assessed before treatment.

Yes — PRP can be combined with treatments such as minoxidil or other hair restoration approaches. Combining therapies can enhance overall results, depending on your condition. A tailored approach is recommended based on your individual needs.

How does hair PRP compare to hair transplant surgery — should I consider surgery instead?

Hair PRP and hair transplant surgery serve fundamentally different purposes. Hair transplant surgery is appropriate for patients who have areas of permanent, established hair loss where follicles are no longer present — surgery physically relocates follicles from a donor area to the recipient zone. PRP is appropriate for patients where follicles are still present but weakened — the goal is to strengthen, preserve and reactivate existing follicles rather than replace lost ones. For patients in the early to moderate stages of hair loss, PRP is often used to slow progression, maintain density, and delay the need for transplant surgery. For post-transplant patients, PRP supports graft survival and stimulates surrounding native follicles. Many patients use PRP before or after transplant surgery as part of a comprehensive hair restoration strategy. If your degree of hair loss is advanced, Dr. Eak will give you an honest assessment of whether PRP alone is sufficient or whether a surgical consultation would be more appropriate.

Yes — many of our patients are international visitors who plan a hair PRP course around an extended stay in Phuket. Because the initial course involves 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, completing a full course during a single short visit is not possible. However, there are practical options for international patients. You can begin your initial course during your first trip to Phuket and continue the remaining sessions during subsequent visits or on your next trip to Thailand. Many patients integrate hair PRP maintenance sessions into annual or twice-yearly trips to Phuket. Alternatively, your first consultation and assessment session can be completed during a short visit, and you can plan the full treatment course around a longer stay. We can work with your travel timeline. Contact us in advance of your trip — ideally 4–6 weeks before arrival — and we will design an appointment schedule that fits your time in Phuket.

The cost of hair PRP depends on your individual scalp condition, treatment plan, and number of sessions required. A personalised quotation is provided at consultation. As a general guide, PRP treatment in Phuket is often more cost-effective compared to the UK, Europe, or Australia.

Yes — PRP is often used alongside or after other treatments. It works through a different biological mechanism and may support hair follicle health in patients who have not achieved their desired results with medication alone. The best approach depends on your individual treatment history and goals.
