At Project Skin MD Ottawa, PRP for Hair Loss is offered as a regenerative treatment that uses your own platelets to help awaken inactive follicles and improve overall hair quality. This non-surgical option is personalized based on your specific hair and scalp needs, with the goal of supporting stronger, healthier-looking hair.

Identifying your hair restoration goals is an important first step in the PRP treatment process. During your consultation, our specialists will take the time to understand your unique hair loss situation. We will look at various patterns of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia, which affects both men and women, temporary hair loss that can arise from stress or hormonal changes, patchy hair loss known as alopecia areata, and thinning that may result from postpartum changes or medical treatments like chemotherapy. In addition to assessing your hair loss patterns, we will discuss your medical history and any current medications. It is important to note that, for optimal safety and effectiveness, you should discontinue the use of blood thinners, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, at least one week prior to your treatment, with the approval of your medical doctor. By addressing these factors, we can craft a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, determining the best strategies to encourage hair regrowth and how many treatment sessions will be necessary to help you achieve the results you desire.
Before starting the treatment, we will take baseline photographs of your scalp and hair density. These images serve as a reference for evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment over time, allowing you to visualize your progress.
The PRP procedure begins with a blood draw, where a small blood sample is taken from the patient. This sample is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components. During this process, any blood thinners in a patient’s system can influence the treatment, so it's essential to discuss any medications with your healthcare provider beforehand. Once the PRP is prepared, it is injected into the scalp using a micro-injection gun, ensuring precision in targeting the areas of hair thinning or loss. Each session typically lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. While some patients may experience mild discomfort during the injections, a numbing cream is applied prior to the procedure to minimize any sensation. The concentrated growth factors in the PRP stimulate cell growth and rejuvenate hair follicles, promoting healthier and denser hair.
PRP therapy requires minimal downtime. Patients may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these effects typically resolve within a few hours. Most individuals can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment, though it's advisable to avoid vigorous exercise, wearing a hat and direct sun exposure for the first 24 hours.
Pricing for PRP therapy varies based on the number of sessions required and the extent of the treatment area. Please consult with our team for a personalized quote tailored to your needs.
For optimal results, PRP therapy is usually administered in a series of 4 sessions, spaced every 2 weeks. After the initial treatment phase, maintenance sessions are recommended every 6 months to sustain hair growth and density. Our team will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure the best outcomes.
PRP therapy should be postponed if you have any active scalp infections, sores, or rashes, as these conditions may hinder healing. Individuals who are pregnant or nursing should also delay treatment until after breastfeeding.
PRP can be applied to the scalp, hairline and balding spots.
