How Much Does PRP Hair Treatment Cost?

At Everblooming Cosmetic and Laser Clinic, we offer a revolutionary, non-surgical solution for hair loss. Our services are provided under the experienced guidance of Dr. Gihan El Mokadem. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair treatment is a cutting-edge procedure that leverages the body’s innate healing mechanisms to promote hair growth, providing a natural alternative to surgical interventions.

Our PRP hair treatment is a three-step procedure beginning with a small extraction of blood from the patient’s arm. The blood is placed into a centrifuge, separating it into three separate layers of platelet-poor and platelet-rich plasma, as well as red blood cells. The platelet-rich plasma, which is abundant in various growth factors, is then collected. These growth factors are instrumental in fostering cellular regeneration, angiogenesis, and collagen production, thereby nurturing an optimal environment for hair follicle growth.

While PRP hair treatment is a promising solution for hair restoration, it is not a cure-all for conditions causing hair loss. However, many patients have reported noticeable improvements in hair density, fullness, and scalp health after undergoing a series of treatments.

Over time, patients may see a decrease in hair loss, an increase in hair density, and healthier, stronger hair. However, a successful PRP treatment does depend on other factors, such as overall health and how experienced the medical professional is at administering the treatment.

It is important to recognize that although PRP hair treatment can be very effective, it is not a universal cure for all types of hair loss. Some patients may require multiple treatments over several months to achieve optimal results, while others may not respond to the treatment at all. Also, while PRP hair treatment can stimulate hair growth, the results may not always be permanent, and there may be necessary maintenance treatments.

PRP therapy is a personalized approach, and the number of sessions needed for effective hair restoration varies from person to person. Factors such as individual hair growth patterns, severity of hair loss, response to treatment, and desired results all play a piece in determining the treatment plan. Typically, patients may require an initial series of three to six PRP treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. These sessions are designed to stimulate hair follicles and boost blood circulation in the scalp, thereby facilitating hair growth. Depending on the severity of hair loss and how the patient responds, maintenance treatments every four to six months may be necessary.

One important aspect to remember is that PRP therapy isn’t an instant solution, it yields positive results over time. Some patients may notice improvements in hair thickness, and texture, and a reduction in hair loss after the initial sessions, but it generally takes a few months for these changes to become significantly noticeable. The benefits of PRP usually become clear within six to twelve months.

We often recommend this treatment to individuals experiencing thinning hair, pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia. Candidates should always have realistic goals and expectations about PRP. It aims to slow down the process of hair loss, stimulate new hair growth, and improve hair quality, rather than completely curing hair loss. People with a healthy lifestyle that includes a nutritious diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep typically respond better to PRP hair treatment. However, those with a history of heavy smoking, drug use, or alcohol use; those with certain medical conditions, and people with chronic liver disease or chronic skin diseases are not the best candidates for PRP hair treatment. At Everblooming Cosmetic and Laser Clinic, we always encourage our patients to consult with Dr. Gihan El-Mokadem to determine whether PRP hair treatment is right for them.

As with any medical procedure, there are financial factors that potential patients need to consider. Here are some factors that may affect the cost of PRP hair treatment:

• Location: The clinic’s location in an urban area may affect the cost. Urban clinics may charge more due to higher operational costs.

• Expertise: The cost of PRP hair treatment is also determined by the experience of the provider, who typically specializes in hair restoration, and has board certification.

• Treatment Complexity and Duration: The severity of the hair loss issue and the number of treatment sessions needed can influence the total cost. More severe cases generally require more sessions, raising the cost. The duration of each session may also impact the price.

• Additional Procedures: If additional treatments like micro-needling or scalp rejuvenation are combined with PRP hair treatment, this can increase the total cost.

When budgeting for PRP hair treatment, patients should consider:

• Consultation: An initial consultation may be required before scheduling a treatment, which could have an associated cost.

• Follow-up Care: After the initial treatment, maintenance sessions may be necessary to sustain the results.

• Additional Expenses: Additional expenses related to transportation, childcare, or time off work during the treatment period may also occur.

It is essential to discuss these options, along with any associated fees, with the clinic before deciding on the treatment.
