How does PRP hair restoration treatment work?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration uses your own concentrated blood platelets — which contain powerful growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, EGF, IGF) — to reactivate dormant hair follicles, increase follicle size (miniaturised follicles from DHT damage grow larger), and stimulate new hair growth. A blood sample is taken, centrifuged to isolate the PRP, and injected directly into the scalp in the areas of thinning. It is a natural, autologous treatment with no risk of allergic reaction.
Who is a good candidate for PRP hair restoration in Malaysia?
PRP hair restoration is most effective for patients in the early to moderate stages of hair loss (Norwood Scale 1–4 for men, Ludwig Scale 1–2 for women). It works best when some live follicles remain — PRP reactivates miniaturised follicles but cannot regenerate follicles that are completely gone. Patients with alopecia areata, telogen effluvium (stress-related hair loss), and androgenetic alopecia are all potential candidates. A scalp assessment confirms suitability.
How many PRP hair sessions are needed to see results?
A standard PRP hair treatment protocol involves 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for the initial intensive phase, followed by maintenance sessions every 3–6 months. Initial results — reduced shedding and improved hair density — are typically noticed after 2–3 sessions. More significant regrowth and thickening becomes visible at 4–6 months. PRP is often combined with oral hair loss medication (finasteride or minoxidil) for enhanced, synergistic results.
Is PRP hair treatment painful?
Scalp injections can be uncomfortable, so topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes before the procedure to minimise pain. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of brief pinches or mild pressure. A vibration anaesthesia device can further reduce discomfort during injection. Post-procedure, mild scalp tenderness and occasional swelling may last 1–2 days. There is no downtime — you can wash and style your hair normally the following day.
