The treatment
Indication and principle
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from your own blood, then reinjected to stimulate the follicles still present.
The stage of the alopecia determines the result: the more advanced it is, the less PRP can do. An assessment first looks for an associated cause — iron deficiency, thyroid disorder, medication.
Anatomy
Areas treated

In practice
How a session proceeds
- Blood draw
- Blood taken, then centrifuged at the practice.
- Anaesthesia
- Anaesthetic cream depending on the case; scalp not very sensitive.
- Sensations
- Multiple fine-needle pinpricks. Tolerance is generally good.
PRP is not performed on the day of the first consultation. Assessment, indication and plan are determined after examination; a reflection period separates assessment from procedure.
