Hair Growth Treatment

Most patients require an initial series of 3-4 PRP treatments, spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart. After completing this initial series, maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 6-12 months to sustain and enhance your results. Your specific treatment plan may vary based on your individual hair loss pattern, response to therapy, and personal goals.

Results from PRP hair treatment develop gradually. Most patients notice decreased hair shedding within 2-3 weeks of their first treatment. New hair growth typically begins to appear around the 2-3 month mark, with continued improvement in thickness and density over the following months. Maximum results are usually visible 6-12 months after beginning treatment, as the hair growth cycle takes time to complete.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during PRP hair treatment. We apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure to ensure your comfort. During the injections, you may feel slight pressure or mild stinging sensations. The procedure is well-tolerated by the vast majority of our patients, and any discomfort resolves quickly after treatment is complete.

PRP hair treatment results are not permanent but can be maintained with ongoing care. Without maintenance treatments, improvements typically last 12-18 months before gradually diminishing. With recommended maintenance sessions every 6-12 months, many patients enjoy continued hair growth and thickness for years. Your individual results may depend on factors such as your age, type of hair loss, and adherence to the recommended treatment protocol.

PRP therapy and hair transplants serve different purposes in hair restoration. PRP is a non-surgical option that stimulates existing hair follicles to improve growth, making it ideal for thinning hair or early hair loss.

Hair transplants surgically relocate hair follicles and are typically used for more advanced hair loss or baldness. PRP offers minimal downtime and natural-looking progressive results, while transplants involve surgical recovery but provide permanent placement of hair follicles. Many patients choose PRP first, while others combine both treatments for comprehensive results.

Most patients tolerate PRP hair treatment very well, but temporary side effects may include:

• Mild Pain or Tenderness: The injection sites may feel sensitive for 1-3 days after treatment
• Redness at Injection Sites: Typically subsides within 24-48 hours
• Minor Swelling: Usually resolves within 48 hours
• Temporary Headache: Some patients experience mild headaches that respond well to over-the-counter pain relievers
• Initial Shedding: Some patients experience a brief “shedding phase” as the hair growth cycle resets, which is actually a sign that the treatment is working

These PRP hair treatment side effects are generally mild and short-lived, allowing most patients to return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

In addition to PRP, Quintessa offers exosome therapy as an optional add-on or standalone treatment.

Exosomes are cell-derived messengers used in regenerative medicine to support healing and tissue repair. Some patients choose to include exosomes in their treatment plan as part of a personalized approach to overall scalp and skin health. Our medical team can help you determine if exosomes are a good fit for your goals.
