At Tiam Spa, we understand the impact that hair loss can have on your confidence and overall well-being. That’s why we offer PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Hair Restoration, a cutting-edge treatment that can help stimulate hair growth and restore thinning areas.
How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?
PRP Hair Restoration utilizes your body’s own natural healing properties to promote hair growth. The treatment involves a simple three-step process:
- Blood Sample Collection:Â A small sample of your blood is drawn, usually from your arm. This blood sample is then processed in a centrifuge machine to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components of the blood.
- Preparation of PRP:Â The platelet-rich plasma, which is rich in growth factors and other beneficial proteins, is carefully isolated and prepared for treatment.
- PRP Application and Stimulation:Â The concentrated PRP is then injected into the areas of your scalp that require hair restoration. These injections help stimulate dormant hair follicles, increasing blood flow and promoting the growth of new, healthier hair.
Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration
PRP Hair Restoration offers several benefits for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning:
- Non-Surgical and Safe:Â PRP Hair Restoration is a non-surgical procedure, making it a safe and convenient option for hair restoration without the risks associated with surgical procedures.
- Natural and Autologous: By using your body’s own platelet-rich plasma, PRP Hair Restoration is a natural and autologous treatment. This means there is no risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
- Improved Hair Growth:Â The growth factors in PRP help stimulate hair follicles and promote new hair growth, resulting in thicker, healthier, and more voluminous hair.
- Reduced Hair Shedding:Â PRP Hair Restoration can help reduce excessive shedding and hair loss, resulting in thicker and denser hair over time.
- Safe for Both Men and Women:Â PRP Hair Restoration is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair loss or thinning, making it a versatile treatment option.

PRP Hair Restoration FAQs
Ideal candidates for PRP hair restoration are those with thinning hair or hair loss at its early stages. It is particularly effective for individuals with androgenetic alopecia—commonly known as male pattern baldness or female pattern hair loss. It is less effective for people who are completely bald as it cannot revive dead hair follicles. Consult with our specialists to assess your suitability for the treatment.
A PRP treatment typically lasts about an hour. Initially, blood will be drawn and processed to create the PRP. You might experience some discomfort during the injections, but local anesthetics can be used to minimize pain. Post-treatment, there is no significant downtime, although some redness, mild swelling, or soreness at the injection sites might occur for a few days.
The number of PRP treatments required can vary based on your hair loss condition and goals. Typically, we recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments every 4-6 months. Consistency is key in achieving substantial results. Your specialist will tailor a treatment plan based on your specific needs and the response of your hair to the initial treatments.
PRP hair restoration is generally safe with minimal risk of side effects since it uses your own blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions. Common side effects are temporary and include mild pain at injection sites, scalp tenderness, swelling, and, in rare cases, temporary hair shedding.
Visible results vary from person to person. Some may notice early signs of hair regrowth or decreased hair shedding within a few weeks, while for others, it might take several months. Optimal results are typically observed after a series of sessions as hair grows gradually. Maintenance treatments are important to help sustain these improvements.
PRP hair restoration offers several advantages over other methods such as minoxidil, finasteride, or hair transplant surgeries:
- Non-surgical and Minimally Invasive: Unlike hair transplants, which are surgical procedures, PRP is non-surgical and minimally invasive. This means less downtime and minimal recovery issues, making it an excellent option for those who prefer less invasive methods.
- Natural Growth Stimulation: PRP leverages your body's natural growth factors to stimulate hair growth, offering a more natural approach compared to medications like minoxidil or finasteride, which work through chemical interactions.
- Safety and Tolerance: As PRP uses your own blood, it has a lower risk of allergic reactions and is generally well-tolerated by most patients, unlike some drug therapies that can have significant side effects.
Notably, some patients decide to combine PRP with other restoration treatments to maximize the benefits.
