These sessions can be spaced out every 2-3 months, or in special conditions, they can be done one month apart for 3-4 sessions.

PRP can be a good choice to stop hair loss and strengthen thinning hair thanks to its rich content of growth factors, proteins, and thrombocytes. Various studies show that PRP promotes natural hair growth and increases hair thickness by increasing the blood flow to the hair follicle. Since PRP is rich in proteins and vitamins, it is also considered to be a suitable solution for hair loss caused by nutritional deficiencies.
