Immediately after PRP, you may notice:
- Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity in the treated areas
- Occasional pinpoint bruising at injection sites
These effects are usually mild and resolve within a few days. Most patients can return to normal activities the same day, avoiding vigorous exercise, hot tubs, and harsh hair treatments for 24–48 hours as advised.
Treatment schedule and maintenance For best results, PRP for hair is performed as a series:
- Initial series: 3–4 treatments, typically spaced about 4–6 weeks apart
- Maintenance: 1 treatment every 6–12 months, depending on your response and degree of hair loss
Hair nutraceuticals are taken consistently during and after the PRP series to support ongoing hair health and help maintain results. Because hair grows in cycles, visible improvement is gradual. Many patients begin to notice:
- Reduced shedding within a few months
- Improved hair density, coverage, and thickness over 3–6 months and beyond
