Thank You

We have received your request. In the meantime, we kindly encourage you to review our Frequently Asked Questions section to address any inquiries you may have.
Is numbing topical or injected?

Numbing is optional for patients and is typically administered directly into the scalp to help minimize discomfort during the treatment. This approach ensures that you remain as comfortable as possible while still receiving effective treatment.

What is the level of concentration for the PRP Treatment?

The treatment typically involves concentrating the platelet-rich plasma to levels that can be up to 5x higher than normal blood levels. This high concentration of platelets is what makes PRP effective, as it contains growth factors that can significantly promote healing and stimulate hair growth.

Which kit and supplier is used for the PRP treatment at Toronto Hair Transplant Clinic?

We use the Amplifine kit from Suneva Medical for our PRP treatments. This kit is known for its high-quality and effective processing of platelet-rich plasma, ensuring optimal results for our patients.

Can you combine PRP with other treatments?

Yes, hair treatments can be effectively combined with other hair treatments to maximize results. For instance, pairing PRP with hair transplants can enhance graft survival and promote faster healing. Additionally, integrating laser therapy can stimulate hair follicles and improve overall scalp health. Other options like Purasomes and topical treatments can also complement PRP by nourishing the scalp and promoting hair growth.

Can I undergo PRP treatments before or after a hair transplant?

Many practitioners recommend starting PRP treatments a few weeks after your hair transplant. This timing helps promote healing and can significantly enhance the growth of newly transplanted hair. Additionally, PRP treatments prior to the transplant can be beneficial as they improve blood circulation and create a healthier environment for hair growth. Ultimately, the best approach will depend on your individual needs, so it’s important to discuss your options with your surgeon for a tailored plan.

Can you have a PRP treatment the same day as your hair transplant?

Yes, PRP treatment can be performed on the same day as a hair transplant. This can help improve the overall results of the transplant. The PRP is applied immediately after the hair transplant to enhance healing and promote hair growth.

How much blood is drawn? And how much plasma is injected into the scalp?

During a hair PRP session, about 30 cc of blood is drawn. From this volume, you can typically obtain around 15 to 20 cc of concentrated plasma, which is rich in platelets. This plasma is then injected into the scalp to promote hair growth and enhance overall scalp health.

Can I dye my hair before or after my PRP treatment?

It’s generally recommended to wait at least a week after your PRP treatment before dyeing your hair. This allows the PRP to settle and maximize its effectiveness. If you want to dye your hair beforehand, it’s best to do so at least a week prior to your treatment.

Can I drink Alcohol after my PRP treatment?

It’s advisable to avoid alcohol for at least 6-8 hours after your PRP treatment. This helps your body focus on the healing process and ensures the best results from the treatment. After this period, you can enjoy alcohol in moderation.

Can I exercise after my PRP treatment?

It’s best to avoid exercise for at least 6-8 hours after your PRP treatment. This allows your scalp time to recover and helps maximize the effectiveness of the treatment. After this initial period, you can gradually resume your normal workout routine.

What should I do after my PRP treatment?

After your PRP treatment, it’s a good idea to use cold compresses to help minimize any swelling. Additionally, taking a warm shower is recommended, as it can promote relaxation and improve blood circulation. A gentle scalp massage during your shower can also help “work” the PRP into the scalp and alleviate any discomfort

Can I style my hair after my PRP treatment?

Yes, you can style your hair and use your regular products right after your PRP treatment. While it’s perfectly fine to do so, we recommend being gentle with your hair for the first day or two to ensure optimal results.

Who is a good candidate for a PRP Treatment?

A good candidate for PRP treatment is someone who has existing hair follicles on their scalp. As long as you have active hair follicles, PRP can effectively help thicken them and enhance the overall volume of your hair. This treatment is often beneficial for individuals experiencing thinning hair or early stages of hair loss

How long will it take to see the results?

You can expect to see improvements in your hair quality after your first three PRP treatments. Many patients notice changes in thickness and overall health during this time. It’s important to remember that results can vary from person to person, but with consistent treatments, you should experience significant benefits.

How long do the PRP results last?

The results from PRP treatment typically last about a year. To maintain the effectiveness of your results, we recommend scheduling annual treatments. This ongoing care helps ensure that you continue to enjoy the benefits of the initial treatment.

What are the side effects of PRP?

After PRP treatment, it’s normal to experience some redness, bruising, and swelling at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within 1-2 days, though some may last up to a week. You may also notice minor bumps, itching, or tenderness, but these symptoms generally subside within a few days.

Is PRP painful?

PRP treatment is generally well-tolerated, as a numbing agent will be applied to your scalp beforehand. Most patients report very minimal discomfort during the procedure, and any sensation is typically mild. If you have concerns about pain or discomfort, please don’t hesitate to discuss them with us.

How many PRP treatments are required?

For optimal results, we typically recommend starting with three PRP treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. After completing these initial sessions, it’s beneficial to have a regular maintenance treatment, every 6-12 months, to help sustain the results. This approach ensures that you get the best long-term benefits from the treatment!

How long is the PRP treatment?

The PRP treatment typically takes about 30 minutes. This includes the preparation of the PRP as well as the actual injection process. It’s a relatively quick procedure, allowing you to fit it into your day easily.
