What is PRP Hair Loss Treatment?

• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment involves taking a small sample of your own blood, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets (which contain growth factors), then injecting that plasma into areas of the scalp where hair is thinning.
• The idea: stimulate dormant or weakened hair follicles, improve circulation in the scalp, and support thicker / healthier hair growth.
• It is non-surgical, uses your own biology, and tends to have minimal downtime.

✔️ Who is a good candidate?

• People with early to moderate hair thinning or hair loss (both men and women) — for example pattern hair loss, postpartum shedding, or thinning hair.
• Those looking for a non-surgical alternative (or adjunct) to medications/transplants.
• Note: Patients with advanced baldness or extensive hair loss might require other treatments like transplants; PRP might be less effective alone in those cases.

🔍 What to expect: Procedure & recovery

Procedure

• Consultation & scalp assessment (density, condition, medical history).
• Blood draw (small volume) and processing to isolate PRP.
• PRP injections into scalp areas of concern (30-45 minutes typical) with possible topical numbing.

Recovery / Downtime

• Minimal downtime: usually minor redness, possible mild soreness at injection sites. You can often return to most normal activities.
• Results: Some reduction in hair shedding may be noticed after 1-2 sessions; visible new hair/ thickening may take ~3-6 months.

💵 Cost guidance & recommended session plan

• Typical cost in Seoul for PRP hair loss treatment: ₩300,000 to ₩500,000 KRW per session for a full-scalp treatment.
• Packages: Many clinics recommend 3-4 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart, then maintenance every 4-6 months.
• Example: A clinic near COEX lists PRP + microneedling combo at ₩400,000-₩600,000 KRW.
