African Hair Transplant
Your curls need a surgeon who reads the curve beneath the skin. See how we adapt the extraction to every bend in curly and coily hair.
Your body already holds the tools to treat your own hair. PRP hair treatment draws platelet-rich plasma from a small blood sample and injects it into the scalp. The growth factors wake weak follicles and improve blood flow, and for many people with pattern hair loss the result is less shedding and thicker-looking hair. Results vary, and maintenance sessions keep them.
Noticing more hair in the drain, widening part lines, or thinning at the crown? In many cases the problem is not permanent. See how PRP hair treatment works and what the evidence says about its results.
PRP hair treatment is a non-surgical therapy prepared from your own blood. For many people with pattern hair loss it reduces shedding and improves density, results vary from person to person, and maintenance sessions keep the gains.

What is PRP hair treatment?
PRP hair treatment (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a non-surgical procedure that draws platelet-rich plasma from the patient’s own blood and injects it into the scalp. The platelets carry growth factors that wake weak follicles, improve blood flow to the scalp and help hair grow thicker, as the Indian Association of Dermatologists (IADVL) explains. A small blood sample is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich layer, and then injected into the target areas. The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) describes the outcome as less shedding or thicker-looking hair. Some patients only see less shedding, some see no benefit, and the gains last only as long as treatment continues.
PRP uses your own autologous growth factors
Prepared from your own blood, not a donor’s. The collection tube holds an anticoagulant that keeps the sample liquid until it is spun in the centrifuge.
How does PRP hair treatment work?
1
Blood draw
First, a small 10-20 ml blood sample is drawn from the arm, exactly like a routine blood test.
2
Centrifuge
Next, the sample spins in a centrifuge for about 10 minutes to separate the blood components.
3
Plasma extraction
The platelet-rich plasma layer, packed with concentrated growth factors, is then drawn off.
4
Scalp injection
Finally, the plasma is injected directly into the target scalp zones using very fine needles.
What happens during a PRP hair treatment session, step by step
1
Medical assessment
First, our team runs a full scalp check and baseline blood work to confirm you are a good candidate for PRP hair treatment.
2
Blood draw
Next, a small 10-20 ml blood sample is drawn from your arm quickly and painlessly.
3
Plasma separation
The sample then spins in the centrifuge for about 10 minutes to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.
4
Scalp injection
The concentrated plasma is then injected into the target scalp areas with very fine needles.
5
Leave right after
There is no downtime. You leave the partner clinic right after the session and continue your normal day.
The session takes only 45-60 minutes
The doctor numbs the scalp before the injections, so most patients feel only mild discomfort or tiny pinches, and no hospital stay is needed.
Who is a candidate for PRP hair injections?
✅ Eligible Candidates
- Adults experiencing early thinning or gradual hair loss
- Patients after a hair transplant, as a supportive follow-up treatment
- Men and women with early-stage androgenetic (pattern) hair loss
- Candidates with healthy, normal blood-work results
❌ Ineligible Cases
- Anemia or blood clotting disorders
- Hepatitis or other active infectious diseases
- Active scalp infections or chronic skin conditions
- Cancer patients currently undergoing chemotherapy
- Severe chronic conditions such as blood diseases
Medical checks required before we start
A complete blood count (CBC), a scalp examination, and a full medical-history review are completed before any session to confirm PRP hair treatment is right for you.
Benefits of PRP hair injections
1
Stimulates new growth
The growth factors in the plasma wake weak follicles that are still alive, so many patients gain hairs in thinning areas. A completely bald, smooth scalp gains little, because its follicles are already gone.
2
Thickens existing hair
PRP can increase the diameter of existing hair shafts, so hair looks fuller even when the number of hairs stays the same, as the IADVL notes.
3
Reduces shedding
Daily shedding drops for many people with pattern hair loss, and the American Academy of Dermatology notes you may lose less hair within the first few months of PRP hair treatment.
4
Improves scalp circulation
The growth factors improve blood flow to the scalp, one of the ways PRP supports weak follicles.
5
Made from your own blood
The plasma is prepared from your own blood, so there is no risk of your body rejecting it, and any mild redness or swelling usually settles within a day or two.
6
No downtime
You leave the partner clinic right after the session and return to your normal routine the same day, no recovery period required.
Treatment schedule, how many sessions do you need?
Treatment plan summary
- Initial course 3-6 sessions
- Frequency one session every 2-4 weeks
- Session length 45-60 minutes
- First change less shedding in the first months, with the doctor judging your response after the third session
- First course review at about month 6 from the first session
- Maintenance one session every 4-6 months to hold your results
1
Sessions 1-2, early stimulation
The growth factors start working in the scalp, but there is nothing to judge yet, so do not decide on PRP after one or two sessions.
2
After session 3, first review
Many patients notice less shedding in the first months, and studies most often record improvement after the third month, so the doctor reviews your response and sets the remaining sessions.
3
About month 6, the first course judged
The doctor compares your photos with the ones from day one at about month 6. Results vary. Some patients only see less shedding, and some do not respond.
4
Maintenance every 4-6 months
Top-up sessions hold what the first course achieved, because the benefit of PRP lasts only as long as treatment continues.
Results vary from person to person
Following the full recommended schedule is the single biggest lever for getting the best outcome from PRP hair restoration.
After your PRP session, aftercare and recovery
1
No washing for 24-48 hours
Avoid washing your hair for a day or two after the session, so the injection points can close without contamination or irritation.
2
No dye for two weeks
Skip hair dyes, keratin treatments, and chemical styling products for at least two weeks.
3
Limit sun exposure
Avoid direct sunlight for about a week, and wear a hat whenever you go outside.
4
Hydrate before each session
Drink enough water in the two days before each session, since good hydration makes the blood draw easier.
5
Eat nutrient-dense foods
Load up on vitamin and mineral-rich foods to support hair growth from the inside out.
6
Cold compress for swelling
If you notice mild redness or swelling, gently apply an ice pack. Contact our team if symptoms persist.
PRP after a hair transplant, what the studies show
Our doctors add PRP hair treatment as a supporting therapy for some transplant patients, and the ISHRS calls PRP a potentially effective adjunct for patients undergoing surgery. The evidence that it speeds healing or improves graft survival is still limited. A 2025 systematic review (Sindhusen and colleagues, Cureus) found only three controlled studies with 217 patients. PRP given during or after the transplant was linked to higher density, better graft survival and earlier growth, but the studies prepared and measured PRP in very different ways, and the authors call for larger, better trials. Your doctor decides at the assessment whether PRP is worth adding in your case; the Premium package includes one PRP session and Royal VIP three.

After four PRP sessions at Your Hair Center my shedding eased clearly and I could see new growth coming through at the temples.

Frequently asked questions about PRP hair treatment
What is PRP hair treatment and how does it work?
PRP hair treatment is a non-surgical procedure in which a small blood sample is drawn from the patient, spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then injected into the scalp to wake dormant follicles and restart the hair growth cycle.
How much does PRP hair treatment cost in Turkey?
The final cost depends on how many sessions you need and the state of your scalp. That said, PRP hair treatment prices in Turkey are typically a fraction of what US and UK clinics charge for comparable care. Contact us for a free evaluation and a personalized quote that fits your case.
Are PRP injections painful?
Most patients feel only mild discomfort or tiny pinches. The doctor numbs the scalp before the injections, and the scalp may feel tender for a day or two afterwards.
How many PRP sessions do I need to see results?
The initial course is usually 3-6 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart, and the doctor sets the number after the first examination. You may notice less shedding in the first months, but PRP is not judged before the third session, and the doctor reviews the first course at about month 6. We then recommend a maintenance session every 4-6 months.
Is PRP suitable after a hair transplant?
It can be. The ISHRS calls PRP a potentially effective adjunct for transplant patients, and small studies linked it to higher density and better graft survival, but a 2025 systematic review rated that evidence as limited. Your doctor decides at the assessment whether it suits your case.
What is the difference between PRP and mesotherapy?
PRP hair treatment uses autologous growth factors drawn from the patient’s own blood. Mesotherapy, by contrast, injects an external cocktail of vitamins and amino acids. The two can be combined for stronger results. Learn more about hair mesotherapy.
