Hair loss is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, it causes feelings of shame and embarrassment. PRP hair treatment is a modern, proven treatment for reducing hair loss and improving hair density.
But how long does PRP hair treatment last? You will need an initial course of three treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, PRP hair growth will then last for 16-20 months. Because this treatment is not a permanent solution for hair loss we recommend maintenance treatments once a year for the best results.
Key Takeaways
- PRP is a non surgical hair loss treatment which uses platelet rich plasma from your own blood. This encourages hair growth and improves the health of hair follicles.
- PRP treatment will last for 16-20 months before the results are diminished. For best results, we recommend keeping up with maintenance sessions once a year.
- Most patients will qualify for this treatment as it is a natural non surgical option that uses your own blood. Always consult with a medical professional before your treatment.

Overview Of Platelet Rich Plasma
PRP is made up of two primary components: plasma, the liquid portion of blood and platelets which is a type of blood cell integral to the body’s healing process. Platelets house growth factors which can promote cell reproduction and enhance tissue regeneration. PRP treatment consists of blood that is higher in concentration of platelets.
To produce PRP, clinicians draw a blood sample from the patient and place it in a centrifuge. This device spins the sample at high speeds, separating the blood’s various components and concentrating the platelets within the plasma.
How long does PRP hair last?
Like many of the other non surgical hair loss treatments, PRP is not a permanent solution to hair loss and requires maintenance sessions every 6-12 months. You will need to complete a course of three treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to see significant results. Once this initial treatment course has been completed, you can expect new hair growth for around 16-20 months.
Is PRP Right For Me?
If you are suffering from thinning hair, or hair loss and want to choose a treatment which is both natural and has very little side effects then PRP injections may be for you. You will need to be in good overall health for this treatment with no medical conditions that affect blood clotting. This is because PRP involves extracting your blood and therefore any thinners or bleeding disorders will stop you from being a suitable candidate.
