Platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatment is a technique utilizing autologous (your own) platelet rich plasma which is rich in natural growth factors that are released by platelets and white blood cells to facilitate restoration of hair follicles.
The procedure does not create new hair follicles, instead, the procedure stimulates follicles that are not strong enough to provide hair but are not yet dead. PRP is considered to be a great option for patients who do not want a hair transplantation procedure, or if used as an adjunct to hair transplants and other topical treatments.
Since PRP stimulates a biological effect, results should not be expected immediately and are generally visible at 3-4 weeks, nonetheless you can expect continuous gradual improvement over a 6-12 month treatment period.
