PRP Hair Loss Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and slow hair loss. The patient's own blood is processed to concentrate growth factors, which are then injected at the treatment area. Sessions start from €150 and are typically spaced four to six weeks apart for best results.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair loss is a regenerative treatment that uses the patient's own blood to deliver a high concentration of growth factors directly to thinning or weakening follicles. A small blood draw is centrifuged to separate the platelet-rich fraction, which is then injected across the scalp at the affected zones under local anaesthetic or topical numbing. The growth factors in PRP — including PDGF, VEGF and IGF-1 — are believed to stimulate follicle activity, improve circulation in the scalp microenvironment, and extend the active growth phase of the hair cycle. At Haartransplantation Hamburg the treatment is offered by the clinic's plastic surgery team alongside its FUE hair transplant programme, making it suitable both as a standalone maintenance option for early-stage hair loss and as a complementary post-transplant protocol to support graft survival and donor-area recovery. A standard course typically involves three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance every three to six months depending on response. PRP is particularly well suited to men and women experiencing diffuse thinning or early androgenetic alopecia who are not yet candidates for transplant surgery, or those who want to protect existing hair between procedures. The session is performed at the clinic's city-centre Hamburg location at Alstertor 18 and takes under an hour, allowing patients to return to normal activities the same day. Prices start from €150 per session — a competitive entry point compared with Hamburg aesthetic clinics that typically charge €200–€400 per PRP session — with no general anaesthesia required.
