How Many PRP Sessions Do You Need for Hair Loss—and When Will You See Results?

PRP for hair loss typically requires 3–4 initial sessions spaced weeks apart, followed by maintenance every few months. At MDCS Dermatology, Noah Gratch, MD, FAAD tailors treatment plans to stimulate follicles and support natural hair regrowth.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has become a leading option for individuals struggling with thinning hair or early stages of hair loss. At MDCS Dermatology, Noah Gratch, MD, FAAD offers PRP as a safe, non-surgical treatment designed to stimulate hair follicles and promote natural regrowth. But how many sessions do you need, and when can you expect to see noticeable results?

How PRP Works for Hair Loss

PRP uses growth factors derived from your own blood to repair and stimulate dormant or weakened hair follicles. By injecting concentrated platelets into the scalp, the treatment improves blood supply to the follicles and prolongs the growth phase of the hair cycle.

Typical PRP Treatment Plan

Most patients benefit from a series of initial treatments followed by maintenance sessions:

Initial Phase: 3–4 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart.
Maintenance Phase: 1 session every 4–6 months, depending on response and hair goals.

This phased approach gives the follicles repeated stimulation, which is essential for long-term improvement.

When Will You See Results?

Early Changes (2–3 months): Patients may notice reduced hair shedding and subtle thickening of existing strands.
Visible Growth (3–6 months): New baby hairs start to appear, and overall density improves.
Ongoing Results (6–12 months): Hair becomes fuller and stronger with consistent treatments and maintenance.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

PRP works best for men and women experiencing early hair thinning or mild to moderate hair loss. It may be less effective for advanced balding where follicles are no longer active. During consultation, Dr. Noah Gratch evaluates scalp health, medical history, and treatment goals to determine candidacy.

Combining PRP with Other Treatments

For enhanced results, PRP can be combined with:

Topical or oral medications (like minoxidil or finasteride).
Low-level laser therapy to boost circulation.
Nutritional support for hair health.
