At VisagePros in Montreal, our expert team customizes each PRP treatment to meet your unique needs, ensuring optimal results. Whether you are dealing with genetic hair loss, alopecia, or thinning hair due to stress, PRP therapy can provide the rejuvenation your scalp needs, helping you achieve fuller, healthier hair.
What is PRP Therapy and how soes it work?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is an innovative treatment designed to combat hair loss by harnessing the body’s natural healing capabilities. This non-surgical procedure involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors that can stimulate hair follicles and promote natural hair growth. Once the PRP is prepared, it is injected into the scalp, specifically targeting areas with thinning hair or bald patches.
The growth factors in PRP work by encouraging cellular regeneration and improving blood supply to the hair follicles, which enhances their ability to produce new hair. This stimulation not only helps to revive dormant hair follicles but also strengthens existing ones, resulting in thicker and healthier hair over time. PRP therapy is suitable for both men and women experiencing various types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and hair thinning due to stress or hormonal changes. At VisagePros in Montreal, our skilled professionals tailor each PRP treatment to the individual’s needs, ensuring optimal results and a significant boost in hair density and quality.
What are the benefits of PRP for hair loss?
PRP therapy offers a range of advantages for individuals looking to address hair loss effectively and naturally. Here are some of the key benefits that make PRP a popular choice for hair restoration:
- Stimulates hair growth: The growth factors in PRP stimulate the hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and strengthening existing hairs. This leads to increased hair density and improved hair quality.
- Improves hair thickness and strength: By stimulating the hair follicles and improving blood supply, PRP not only encourages new hair growth but also enhances the thickness and strength of existing hair, resulting in fuller and healthier hair overall.
- Natural and non-surgical treatment: PRP therapy uses your body’s own platelets, making it a natural and safe option for hair restoration. There are no foreign substances or surgical procedures involved, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
- Minimal downtime: PRP therapy is a minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.
- Versatile applications: PRP is effective for various types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and thinning hair due to stress or hormonal changes. It is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair loss.
- Long-lasting results: With a series of treatments, PRP therapy can provide long-lasting results. The continuous stimulation of hair follicles ensures sustained hair growth and improved hair health over time.
PRP therapy offers a holistic and effective solution for those struggling with hair loss, providing natural and long-lasting results without the need for invasive procedures.
Who can benefit from PRP therapy?
PRP therapy is suitable for a wide range of individuals experiencing different types of hair loss. Here are some groups who can particularly benefit from PRP treatments:
- Individuals with androgenetic alopecia: This common type of hair loss, also known as male or female pattern baldness, responds well to PRP therapy. The treatment helps to slow down hair thinning and stimulate new hair growth.
- People with alopecia areata: Those suffering from this autoimmune condition, which causes patchy hair loss, can benefit from the regenerative effects of PRP, promoting hair regrowth in affected areas.
- Men and women with thinning hair: PRP is effective for those experiencing general thinning of hair due to stress, hormonal changes, or aging. It helps to increase hair density and improve hair quality.
- Post-surgical patients: Individuals who have undergone hair transplant surgery can use PRP therapy to enhance the healing process and improve the growth rate and density of transplanted hair.
- Anyone looking for a non-surgical solution: PRP is ideal for individuals seeking a natural, non-invasive treatment for hair loss without the need for surgery or synthetic medications.
While PRP is a versatile and effective treatment for many individuals, it may not be suitable for everyone. Here are some groups of people who should not consider PRP treatment:
- Pregnant or nursing women: The effects of PRP therapy on pregnant or breastfeeding women have not been thoroughly studied, so it is recommended to avoid this treatment during these periods.
- Individuals with Blood Disorders: Those with blood disorders such as clotting or bleeding conditions, or those undergoing anticoagulant therapy, should not undergo PRP therapy due to the potential risks involved.
- Patients with active infections or chronic illnesses: Individuals with active infections, chronic liver disease, or severe illnesses may not be suitable candidates for PRP therapy as it could exacerbate their conditions.
- People with scalp infections or inflammation: Those with infections or inflammatory conditions of the scalp should wait until these issues are resolved before considering PRP therapy to avoid complications.
- Individuals with uncontrolled medical conditions: Patients with uncontrolled diabetes or other chronic conditions should consult their healthcare provider before undergoing PRP therapy to ensure it is safe for them.

Preparing for a smooth experience
Before your treatment
To ensure the best results from your PRP treatment, it’s important to prepare properly. Begin by scheduling a consultation with your practitioner to discuss your medical history, current medications, and specific goals for the treatment.
Avoid taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, for at least a week before the procedure to minimize the risk of bruising. Additionally, refrain from consuming alcohol and smoking for at least 48 hours prior to your treatment, as these can impair the healing process. Stay well-hydrated and follow a healthy diet to promote optimal blood quality, as this will enhance the effectiveness of the PRP.
Recovering after your treatment
After your PRP treatment, follow your practitioner’s aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. You may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort at the injection sites, which typically subside within a few days. Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
It’s important to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support the healing process. Avoid strenuous activities, excessive sun exposure, and saunas for the first 48 hours. Using a gentle, non-irritating skincare routine and avoiding harsh chemicals will help promote healing and enhance results.
Understanding risks and side effects
While PRP therapy is generally safe and well-tolerated, it’s essential to be aware of potential risks and side effects. Common side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort at the injection sites. These typically resolve on their own within a few days. Rarely, there may be a risk of infection or allergic reactions.
Inform your practitioner immediately if you experience unusual pain, prolonged swelling, or signs of infection. Additionally, individuals with certain medical conditions or blood disorders should consult their healthcare provider to ensure PRP is a suitable treatment option for them. By understanding and following the recommended guidelines, you can minimize risks and enjoy the full benefits of PRP therapy.
