PRP hair treatment
Hair PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is defined as an autologous plasma preparation containing a platelet concentration higher than baseline levels. The treatment involves injecting this platelet-rich plasma into the scalp. The plasma contains growth factors that stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration, while improving blood circulation around the hair follicles. It is particularly beneficial for people with fine hair or low hair density, and is also an excellent complementary treatment to support and enhance the results of a hair transplant.
An effective treatment for hair regeneration
Hair PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is one of the most innovative and effective treatments for improving hair health and addressing hair loss. It uses platelet-rich plasma obtained from your own blood to stimulate hair regeneration and naturally improve hair density. Both Dr Espinosa Custodio and Dr Gallardo Madrid recommend this treatment following a comprehensive hair assessment, thanks to the excellent results it consistently achieves.
Hair PRP: a safe and natural procedure
Hair PRP is a minimally invasive, safe and completely natural treatment based on the extraction and reinjection of your own blood plasma.
Hair PRP process
01
Blood Collection:
A small blood sample (approximately 8 ml) is taken using a closed collection system or under a laminar airflow cabinet to ensure maximum sterility.
02
Centrifugation:
The blood is centrifuged to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components, including red and white blood cells.
03
PRP application:
The activated platelet-rich plasma is injected into the targeted areas of the scalp, where it stimulates hair regeneration and supports healthier hair growth.
It is important to note that Hair PRP is a form of mesotherapy. Rather than injecting medication, this technique delivers the patient’s own platelet-derived growth factors directly into the scalp. Mesotherapy is a microinjection technique that allows therapeutic substances to be introduced into specific layers of the skin. In the case of PRP, it enables these growth factors to reach the areas where hair growth stimulation is needed most.
The treatment is performed using a closed PRP system, ensuring the highest standards of sterility and patient safety while complying with all current regulations established by the Health Authority of the Community of Madrid.
Diagnostic consultation
During your consultation, Dr Espinosa Custodio and Dr Gallardo Madrid will carry out a comprehensive medical assessment to understand your individual situation and treatment goals.
As part of the physical examination, they use HairMetrix by Canfield, an advanced trichoscopy system that accurately measures hair density, hair shaft diameter and follicular unit characteristics. This technology enables a highly detailed and personalised diagnosis, allowing the doctors to recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.
Benefits of Hair PRP Treatment
Improves Hair Density: Ideal for people with fine, thinning or weakened hair, helping to improve hair thickness and overall density.
Enhances Hair Transplant Results: An excellent complementary treatment that supports healing and helps optimise the results of a hair transplant.
Effective for Alopecia Areata: PRP has shown good results in the treatment of this autoimmune condition, which causes patchy hair loss.
Expected results for hair PRP
The first improvements from Hair PRP are typically noticeable after the third treatment session, with more significant results becoming evident after approximately six sessions. The treatment is effective for improving hair density and can also be beneficial in selected cases of alopecia areata.

Aftercare
Hair PRP requires no special aftercare, as it is a natural, minimally invasive procedure. In some cases, we may recommend combining PRP with other treatments, such as mesotherapy, to maximise and accelerate the results.
Hair PRP for
female hairloss
Hair PRP is also an effective treatment for female pattern hair loss, helping to improve hair density and stimulate hair regeneration.
However, it is important to note that PRP alone does not stabilise androgenetic alopecia. For this reason, it is usually combined with other treatments, such as oral medication or anti-androgen mesotherapy, to slow the progression of hair loss and achieve the best possible results.
Exosome therapy:
an innovative alternative
We also offer exosome therapy, an innovative treatment designed to stimulate hair growth.
Applied topically, exosomes contain growth factors that help regenerate hair follicles, strengthen existing hair and encourage the growth of new hair, making them a promising complementary option in hair restoration.
Frequently Asked Questions – Capillary PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
How does Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) stimulate hair follicles?
PRP concentrates growth factors from your own blood platelets and delivers them into the scalp to promote new blood vessel formation, prolong the anagen growth phase and thicken weak hairs.
Can Capillary PRP cause allergic reactions?
No. Because PRP is 100% autologous (prepared from your own blood in a sterile closed system), there is no risk of allergy or rejection.
How many PRP sessions are needed to see hair improvement?
An initial protocol of 3 monthly sessions is usually recommended, followed by maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months.
