What Hair Loss Treatments Actually Work?

Hair loss can be distressing and affect both men and women at different stages of life. Whether it’s a receding hairline, thinning patches, or general shedding, hair loss can impact confidence and self-image. But with countless products and miracle cures claiming to offer solutions, it can be hard to know what really works.

One treatment, backed by science and growing in popularity, is Plasma Rich Platelet (PRP) therapy. Unlike shampoos, supplements or over-the-counter sprays, PRP therapy uses your body’s own regenerative powers. It stimulates natural hair growth — and it’s shown real promise in tackling the root of the problem.

In this article, we’ll explore what PRP therapy is, how it works, and why it might be the most effective, natural treatment option for hair loss.

Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss can be caused by genetics, hormones, stress, poor nutrition, or certain medical conditions. The most common type is androgenetic alopecia, an inherited condition affecting both men and women. Other causes include alopecia areata, post-pregnancy thinning, or stress-related shedding. Hair follicles may shrink over time, producing thinner hair or stopping growth entirely.

Reactivating dormant follicles is essential for reversing hair loss and encouraging regrowth.

What is PRP Hair Loss Therapy?

PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma therapy, is a medical treatment that uses your own blood to support healing. It works by using components found in your blood to stimulate regeneration in targeted areas. Originally, PRP was popular in orthopaedics and sports medicine to speed up recovery after injuries. More recently, it has become well-known in aesthetics — especially for treating hair loss.

The procedure starts with drawing a small amount of your blood. This blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma and platelets. The concentrated solution is injected directly into the scalp where hair thinning or loss has occurred.

Platelets are rich in growth factors — more than seven proteins that support tissue repair. These growth factors also boost collagen production and improve blood supply to the area. Most importantly, they help stimulate activity in dormant hair follicles to encourage new hair growth.

How Does PRP Promote Hair Growth?

Hair follicles need a strong blood supply to remain healthy and grow thick strands of hair. PRP treatment works by enhancing this supply and triggering the natural growth phase of the hair cycle.

Here’s how it works in more detail:

Blood Draw
A small sample of your blood is taken during your appointment — typically no more than what’s taken for a standard blood test.
Centrifugation
Your blood sample is placed into a centrifuge, which spins rapidly to separate the components. This process isolates a golden-yellow plasma that’s rich in platelets and growth factors.
Extraction and Injection
The concentrated plasma is then injected into the areas of your scalp experiencing hair loss. These targeted injections allow the growth factors to penetrate directly to the follicles, encouraging new hair growth and helping to thicken existing strands.

What makes this treatment so appealing is that it’s 100% natural. There are no synthetic additives or foreign substances — only your own cells are used, making it suitable for people seeking a minimally invasive, chemical-free solution to hair loss.

What Results Can You Expect?

While individual results vary depending on the severity and cause of your hair loss, many patients notice visible improvements after a course of treatments. These may include:

Thicker hair shafts
Increased volume and density
Reduced hair shedding
New hair growth in previously thinning areas

Typically, a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every few months. Your practitioner will advise on the best plan based on your individual needs and hair goals.

Is PRP Safe?

Since PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low. There may be minor side effects such as tenderness, redness, or slight swelling at the injection site, but these usually resolve within a day or two.

As with any medical treatment, it’s essential to receive PRP from a qualified medical professional in a clinical setting. At Trikwan Aesthetics, PRP Hair Loss Therapy is performed by expert doctors using high-grade equipment, ensuring both safety and optimal results.

Why Choose PRP Over Other Hair Loss Treatments?

There are countless topical and oral treatments available on the market, but many deliver inconsistent results or come with long-term side effects. PRP, by contrast:

Stimulates natural growth using your own body’s healing factors
Improves blood flow to the follicles, addressing the root cause
Requires no downtime, making it ideal for busy lifestyles
Avoids harsh chemicals or medications
Provides long-term benefits with regular maintenance

For those who are not yet candidates for surgical hair restoration, or who prefer non-surgical methods, PRP can be an ideal solution that bridges the gap between cosmetic haircare and medical-grade treatment.
