Recovery and aftercare
Recovery, downtime and aftercare vary according to the treatment selected and individual response. Specific guidance is provided after assessment and should be followed carefully.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about PRP for Hair
How many sessions may be required?
The number of PRP sessions varies with the diagnosis, treatment protocol and individual response. Your dermatologist can recommend a schedule after assessing the pattern and cause of hair loss.
When can results be assessed?
Hair growth changes take time, so results are not usually judged immediately after treatment. Follow-up is generally planned over several months, with the timing adjusted to the individual treatment plan.
Is PRP suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on the cause of hair loss, medical history, medications, scalp condition and other individual factors. A dermatologist should assess the patient before PRP is considered.
Can PRP be combined with other treatment?
PRP can sometimes be included alongside other hair-loss treatments when clinically appropriate. The combination should be based on the diagnosis and overall treatment plan rather than using multiple procedures automatically.
