PRP Hair: answers to the most frequently asked questions

Hair loss can have a big impact on self-confidence, in both men and women. Among the modern and effective solutions, the Hair PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is an innovative, safe and non-surgical treatment to stimulate regrowth and improve hair quality.
At the Biolaser Aesthetic and Laser Medical Center, located in Saint-Louis, near Mulhouse and Basel, our specialized doctors answer the most common questions about this method.

What is capillary PRP?

The PRP hair is a regenerative treatment that uses the patient’s own blood. After a blood draw, the blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is naturally loaded with growth factors.
This plasma is then reinjected into the scalp to stimulate the hair follicles and promote regrowth.

Who can benefit from the PRP hair?

The PRP is suitable for:

  • Men and women with androgenetic alopecia (progressive baldness)
  • People with thinning or brittle hair
  • Those who want to improve the thickness and vitality of their hair
  • Patients after hair transplantation to optimize regrowth

Our doctors at the Biolaser Center determine the feasibility during a personalized consultation.

How does a PRP session work?

  1. Blood sample similar to a conventional blood test.
  2. Centrifugation to isolate platelet-rich plasma.
  3. Micro-injections of PRP into the targeted areas of the scalp using very fine needles.

The session lasts about 45 minutes and does not require a break from activity.

Is the treatment painful?

The discomfort is usually minimal. An anesthetic cream can be applied before the session for more comfort. At At Biolaser, we make sure that the experience is as smooth as possible.

How many sessions are necessary?

On average, a protocol of 3 to 4 sessions spaced one month apart is recommended, followed by a maintenance session every 6 to 12 months to maintain results.

What results can be expected?

  • Improved hair thickness and density
  • Slowing down the fall
  • Stimulation of new growth cycles
    The first effects are usually seen after 2 to 3 months, with a gradual improvement.

Are there any side effects?

As it is a patient-derived product, PRP does not present any risk of rejection or allergy. Side effects are limited to slight redness or temporary sensitivity of the scalp.

PRP or hair mesotherapy: what’s the difference?

  • PRP : uses the patient’s platelet-rich plasma, rich in growth factors.
  • Mesotherapy : is based on the injection of vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

At Biolaser, we offer both treatments and can combine them according to your needs.

Contraindications and precautions before PRP hair treatment

Hair PRP is a safe and well-tolerated treatment, but it is not suitable for all situations. Some medical conditions or ongoing treatments may require a postponement or adaptation of the procedure.

Main contraindications:

  • Blood diseases or bleeding disorders
  • Active infections or inflammations of the scalp
  • Severe autoimmune diseases
  • Cancer in treatment or in recent remission
  • Taking strong anticoagulants or anti-inflammatories (to be evaluated with the doctor)
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

Precautions to take before the session:

  • Avoid taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs in the days before (unless otherwise advised by a doctor)
  • Arrive with clean hair and no styling products
  • Report any treatment or health problems at the initial visit

At the Biolaser Center, the safety of our patients is a priority. This is why a thorough medical evaluation is always carried out before starting the PRP protocol.
