Originally developed for regenerative medicine, PRP is now widely used in both medical and aesthetic treatments, including skin rejuvenation, joint therapy, and hair restoration. By harnessing the healing potential of your own blood, PRP promotes the body's natural repair processes, making it a safe and effective approach to tissue regeneration and hair follicle revitalization.

PRP for Hair Restoration: A Natural, Non-Surgical Solution for Hair Loss and Hair Regrowth
Hair loss, hair thinning, and a receding hairline are common concerns that can significantly affect appearance and self-confidence. Today, a variety of advanced hair restoration treatments are available, and one of the most well-established evidence-based treatments is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy.
PRP is a regenerative treatment that utilizes the body's own natural healing components to stimulate hair follicles. Because a patient's own blood (autologous) is used, risk of allergic reaction is extremely low. It is minimally invasive, requires no surgery, and involves little to no downtime.
The Story of PRP
How PRP Works?
Platelets contain a variety of regenerative proteins and growth factors, including:
○ PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor)
○ VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor)
○ EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor)
These growth factors play a vital role in tissue repair and cellular regeneration. When injected into the scalp, they help revitalize weakened hair follicles, stimulate follicular activity, and prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, allowing hair to grow longer, stronger, and healthier.
What is PRP for hair restoration?
PRP is a regenerative treatment that uses a patient's own blood to obtain a concentrated layer of platelets rich in growth factors. These naturally occurring bioactive proteins play an essential role in tissue repair, cellular regeneration, and healing.
During the procedure, a small sample of blood is collected and processed to isolate the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). The PRP is then carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp affected by hair thinning or hair loss.
Once delivered to the scalp, the growth factors stimulate hair follicles, improve blood circulation, and enhance the function of follicle cells. This helps strengthen existing hair, reduce excessive hair shedding, and promote healthier new hair growth.
PRP is considered a natural hair restoration treatment because it harnesses the body's own healing mechanisms to rejuvenate hair follicles from within.
Benefits of PRP
○ Reduce hair shedding
○ Improve hair thickness and volume
○ Stimulate new hair growth
○ Strengthen weakened hair follicles
○ Promote a healthier scalp environment
What PRP Can Support
1. Helps Reduce Hair Loss
PRP helps restore weakened hair follicles, which are often the underlying cause of hair loss associated with stress, lack of sleep, hormonal changes, or genetic factors. The concentrated growth factors in PRP promote tissue repair, improve blood circulation, and enhance nutrient delivery to the hair follicles. As a result, hair becomes stronger, healthier, and less prone to shedding over time.
2. Stimulates New Hair Growth
PRP activates hair follicles that are still viable but producing thinner or weaker hair. This encourages the growth of new hair, particularly in areas affected by early-stage hair thinning. Newly growing hair is often thicker, stronger, and more resilient, making PRP an ideal option for individuals seeking a natural approach to hair restoration.
3. Improves Hair Density
As hair follicles become healthier, newly growing hairs become thicker and stronger. This increases overall hair density, enhances volume, and reduces scalp visibility. PRP is especially beneficial for individuals with thinning hair who want to preserve their existing hair follicles, reverse follicular miniaturization, slow further progression of hair loss, and improve hair density.
4. Restores Scalp Health
PRP stimulates the formation of new blood vessels and improves blood circulation within the scalp. Better circulation delivers more oxygen and essential nutrients to the hair follicles, creating a healthier scalp environment that supports stronger, healthier hair growth over the long term.
5. Enhances Hair Transplant Results
PRP is commonly used as a complementary treatment following hair transplantation. It helps accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the better growth of newly transplanted follicles. This may improve graft survival and contribute to fuller, more natural-looking results.
Who Is PRP For?
PRP Hair Therapy is suitable for individuals experiencing the following conditions:
Excessive Hair Loss
Individuals who experience persistent hair shedding beyond the normal daily amount may notice thinning hair, increased scalp visibility, or excessive hair on pillows, brushes, and shower drains. Common causes include genetic predisposition, stress, inadequate sleep, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, and frequent chemical or heat styling.
Genetic Hair Thinning or Receding Hairline (Androgenetic Alopecia)
Androgenetic Alopecia is one of the most common causes of hair thinning in both men and women. It occurs when hair follicles become increasingly sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), causing the follicles to shrink over time. As a result, hair gradually becomes finer and thinner, potentially leading to permanent hair loss if left untreated.
Weak and Fragile Hair
Individuals with fine, weak, or easily broken hair often have underperforming hair follicles. PRP helps strengthen the follicles, improving hair quality, resilience, and overall appearance.
Individuals Seeking Non-Surgical Hair Restoration
Many people are hesitant to undergo hair transplantation due to concerns about surgery, recovery time, discomfort, or cost. PRP offers a minimally invasive, non-surgical alternative with little downtime, allowing most patients to resume their normal daily activities shortly after treatment.
Individuals Who Have Undergone Hair Transplantation
Following a hair transplant, newly implanted follicles require optimal nourishment and support during the healing process. PRP is frequently recommended alongside hair transplantation to promote faster recovery, reduce inflammation, support graft survival, and encourage stronger, healthier hair growth.
Signature Bio-Stimulation Experience
1. Hair and Scalp Assessment
Before beginning PRP treatment, our physician performs a comprehensive evaluation of your hair loss concerns and overall scalp health to develop a personalized treatment plan.
Using trichoscopy, a specialized scalp imaging device, the physician can closely examine the hair follicles and scalp in high magnification. This assessment provides detailed information about follicle health, hair density, scalp condition, and any signs of inflammation or underlying abnormalities.
The examination helps identify the underlying cause of hair loss—such as genetic hair thinning (Androgenetic Alopecia), hormonal changes, stress-related hair loss, or other contributing factors—allowing the physician to recommend the most appropriate treatment protocol and number of sessions for each individual.
2. Blood Collection
A trained nurse will collect approximately 10–20 mL of blood, a small amount that is safe and does not affect the body's normal functions.
The blood is immediately transferred into a sterile collection tube and processed without delay to preserve the quality and viability of the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), ensuring optimal therapeutic effectiveness.
3. Preparation of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
The collected blood is processed using a medical-grade centrifuge to separate the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from the other blood components.
The resulting PRP contains a high concentration of growth factors, which play a vital role in repairing hair follicles, stimulating hair growth, and promoting healthier scalp function.
The centrifugation process carefully isolates the platelet-rich layer to maximize platelet concentration, producing PRP with enhanced regenerative potential for hair restoration.
To ensure the highest standards of patient safety, all medical devices and consumables used throughout the procedure comply with recognized medical standards and are approved by the Thai Food and Drug Administration (Thai FDA). They are also certified under the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP), ensuring quality, sterility, and minimizing the risk of contamination at every stage of the treatment process.
4. Preparation of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Once the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has been prepared, the physician carefully injects it into areas affected by hair thinning or hair loss, such as the crown, hairline, or other targeted regions.
At Rootfrom Clinic, PRP is administered using the Hycoox Injector, an advanced medical injection system designed to deliver PRP with exceptional precision and consistency. Compared with conventional manual injections, the Hycoox Injector allows the physician to accurately control both the injection depth and the volume of PRP delivered.
This technology helps distribute PRP evenly throughout the treatment area, maximizing contact with the hair follicles and enhancing the effectiveness of hair restoration.
Additional benefits of the Hycoox Injector include:
- Precise and consistent depth and volume of PRP delivery
- Improved treatment accuracy
- Reduced discomfort during the procedure
- Less bruising and tissue trauma
- Greater overall patient comfort
The Hycoox Injector used at our clinic is approved by the Thai Food and Drug Administration (Thai FDA) and meets recognized medical safety and quality standards.
When Will I See Results?
Most patients begin to notice visible improvements within 2–3 months after starting treatment. For optimal results, physicians generally recommend a series of treatments followed by maintenance sessions.
Recommended Treatment Schedule
Month 1–3: One treatment session every month
After the initial course: Maintenance treatments every 3–6 months, depending on individual needs.
Treatment outcomes vary from person to person and may be influenced by factors such as age, the condition of the hair follicles, hormonal balance, overall health, and adherence to the recommended hair care regimen.
What Does the Procedure Feel Like?
During the injection, patients may experience mild to moderate discomfort, but the procedure is generally well tolerated. A topical anesthetic is typically applied beforehand to help minimize discomfort.
After treatment, mild redness or swelling at the injection sites may occur. These temporary effects usually resolve on their own within 1–2 days.
