Platelet-rich plasma aka PRP for hair loss is a treatment in which rich plasma is separated from a particular blood sample and then injected into the scalp in order to improve hair growth & thickness and decrease hair fall. This plasma allows the nearby hair to stop thinning and improves the conditions that the hair follicle requires to support and grow thicker hair. There are instances and conditions in which PRP injections fail to improve hair growth and reduce hair fall. Here we will discuss What Causes PRP to Fail in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah, what can be done to improve the success rate and what are the limitations of this treatment if any.
Aim of the Procedure:
PRP injections stimulate the growth of hair on the scalp by improving the conditions required for hair to grow such as improved cellular growth, improved blood flow, and skin condition. However in rare cases, PRP is not an ideal treatment, in fact, PRP can worsen hair fall for some patients.
Ideal Candidate:
PRP treatment may provide the boost needed to regain some of the lost hair as it improves the hair follicle’s ability to grow new hair so the best-suited candidates for PRP for hair loss are
- People with severe hair thinning and hair loss
- It is the basic treatment for male pattern baldness as well as thinning of hair in females.
However, in some cases PRP can fail, these include:
- Alcohol consumption & Chainsmoking: Since smoking and alcohol cause blood thinning so the plasma extracted is not rich in platelets.
- Hereditary hair loss: PRP can increase the speed of hereditary hair loss.
- Heart patients: Patients receiving treatment for heart disease may not be suited for PRP since blood thinning medicine are usually prescribed to such patients
Results:

Pre-Procedure:
It is essential that you get yourself checked by a qualified professional with a certain amount of experience since not all hair problems can be solved with the help of PRP & it does have its limitations. During the consultation, make sure to discuss the following key facts,
- Is PRP an effective treatment plan for you?
- Your medical history, any medication that you might be taking due to any other medical issue, or any allergies that you may have to any certain ingredient in PRP injection.
- If you smoke or drink alcohol, let your doctor know beforehand since these can impact your treatment greatly
Procedure/Treatment:
After conducting some basic blood tests and examining your scalp the doctor will determine if PRP will help your condition by facilitating the growth of new hair. During the procedure, the doctor will take blood samples and send them to the lab so that plasma can be extracted from them by removing red and white blood cells. Another important thing to remember is that this treatment may require a number of sessions depending on the area to be treated and the condition of the hair. Each session is separated by at least 4 weeks (per the hair growth cycle), and most patients require 3-4 sessions to achieve desired results. Keep in mind that maintenance treatments may be necessary every 5-6 months to achieve lasting results. After injection, the plasma boosts collagen production and improves the health of the hair making it thicker and more robust. The procedure can backfire for people with issues such as thin blood or hereditary hair loss.
Limitations and Aftercare:
PRP works on the principle of enriched plasma extracted form your own blood and thus will fail in the following cases.
- If your blood does not have enough plasma or if you use any form of drugs, it will lead to a decrease in platelets meaning the plasma derived from such blood will not be as effective as expected
- PRP can fasten hereditary hair loss and shedding, meaning it is not suited for everyone and only a professional can determine if it is what you need in order to get back your healthy hair.
Apart from the above-mentioned cases, it is important to follow up on your treatment and take the following precautions.
- Avoid sun exposure
- Avoid cheap products
- Avoid alcohol and smoking
- Avoid rubbing or scratching the treated area
- Take your prescribed painkillers to alleviate any pain or discomfort post-procedure.
