Have you ever stared at your hairline in the mirror and felt a pang of worry? You’re not alone. By the time most men hit their mid‑30s, thinning hair is just part of the story. Women notice it too, often around the same age. Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is gaining buzz as a gentle, non‑surgical way to wake up sleepy follicles and get hair growing again. Let’s dive deep into the details n PRP Therapy.
What Is PRP Therapy?
Imagine your blood as a mini factory. It’s busy carrying oxygen with red blood cells, and platelets are like little repair squads. In PRP therapy, we draw a small sample of blood—about two tablespoons—and spin it in a centrifuge machine. That separates the platelets into a concentrated “shot” of healing power. We then inject that into your scalp where hair is thinning.
In everyday terms: It’s like giving your scalp a natural energy drink with no additives, just your own cells doing the work.
The Science—But in Simple Terms
- We Draw Your Blood
A quick pinch in the arm, just like any blood test. - We Spin It
Ten minutes in the centrifuge, and voilà—you get a thick layer of platelets at the top. - We Inject the Good Stuff
Tiny needles, targeted zones. You might feel tiny taps, but most people say it’s more surprising than painful.
Those platelets release “growth factors.” Think of them as tiny coaches telling your hair follicles to get back in the game.

Is PRP Right for You?
PRP tends to shine when your hair loss is still in the early to middle stages. If you’re seeing the Norwood II-IV pattern (that’s mainly for men) or Ludwig I–II for women, PRP could give your follicles a second wind.
Real situation: Sarah, 32, noticed widening part lines but didn’t want a transplant yet. After three PRP sessions with Dr. Sezgin, her part looked noticeably fuller—and her morning coffee chats with friends became all about her glow, not her hair worries.

Combining PRP with Other Treatments
Many patients wonder if PRP can stand alone or if it pairs well with other hair‑restoration methods. The good news? PRP is highly versatile. You might combine it with topical solutions like minoxidil or finasteride to maximize results. Some clients add low‑level laser therapy sessions for an extra boost in follicle stimulation. Even those planning future hair transplants find PRP helpful: it preps the scalp by improving blood flow and tissue quality, so grafts take more readily. Always discuss your full treatment plan with Dr. Sezgin—he’ll tailor a schedule that blends PRP and complementary therapies for the most natural, long‑lasting outcome.
