How Long Does It Take to See Results from PRP Treatment for Hair Regrowth?

If you’re struggling with hair thinning or hair loss, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy might be the solution you’ve been searching for. The popurlatiry of using PRP for hair growth has increased by 66% between 2010 and 2020. And its no coiencidence. PRP treatment is an innovative, non-surgical procedure that uses your body’s natural healing properties to stimulate hair growth. But one of the most common questions we hear at our Michigan clinic—serving Novi, South Lyon, Northville, Brighton, and West Bloomfield—is: "How long does it take to see results?"

Let’s break it down.

Talk to Robert Grafton, MD, and our team at PSI Medical Group in Michigan. As specialists in PRP treatment, we can help your body get what it needs to get hair growth. In many cases, that means PRP therapy. 

What Is PRP and How Does It Work?

PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting it into areas of the scalp experiencing hair thinning. Platelets contain growth factors, which help stimulate dormant hair follicles, increase blood supply, and encourage thicker, healthier hair.

When Will I Start Seeing Results?

PRP is a gradual process, and while results vary, here’s what most patients can expect:

• First Few Weeks (0-4 weeks): After your initial treatment, you likely won’t see visible changes. However, some patients notice a decrease in hair shedding and an improvement in scalp health.
• Month 2-3: This is when many patients start noticing early hair regrowth. Tiny, fine hairs may begin to appear in previously thinning areas. The existing hair may also feel thicker and healthier.
• Month 4-6: The most significant results typically appear around this time. Hair growth becomes more noticeable, with increased thickness, density, and strength.
• Beyond 6 Months: With continued treatments (usually a series of three to six sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart), hair continues to improve, and the full results become more apparent.

How Many PRP Sessions Are Needed?

Most patients require three to four sessions, spaced about a month apart, for optimal results. Some may need maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to sustain hair growth.

Who Is PRP Best For?

PRP works best for men and women experiencing early-stage hair loss or thinning hair rather than complete baldness. It’s also effective for those with androgenic alopecia (pattern baldness) and individuals looking to improve overall hair density.
