Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-Rich Plasma Capillary can be recommended for all men and women suffering from baldness or androgenic alopecia.

This capillary treatment is also suitable for women experiencing intense postpartum hair loss or weakening of hair due to hormonal changes during menopause, for example.

Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment is also used to optimize the results of hair transplantation. It is performed before and after transplantation to strengthen the hair in the donor area, stimulate the growth of new hair, and help accelerate scalp healing.

Although it is a risk-free treatment, it is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and people with blood disorders.

The appearance of PRP Capillary results will depend on your case and the severity of hair loss or baldness. However, you may see the first effects about 6-8 weeks after the first treatment session.

While PRP Capillary treatment has a simple recovery, you should take some precautions, especially in the first 24 hours, such as:

• Do not apply ice or heat;
• Do not wash your head;
• Avoid direct sun exposure on the scalp, saunas, Turkish baths, and physical activity.

After PRP Capillary treatment, you may experience some mild and short-lived side effects (1-2 days), such as discomfort or redness on the scalp at the injection sites.

This is a capillary treatment without the risk of rejection or allergic reactions, as it involves the application of a biological substance obtained from the patient's own blood.

It is advisable to perform several sessions. As a rule, we recommend 4 sessions to achieve results, but each case should be evaluated individually. You should repeat the treatment 12-18 months later for hair health maintenance. However, the need for repetition will depend on the specific situation and is determined on a case-by-case basis.

On average, the price of PRP Capillary treatment ranges from €200 to €300 per session. At LHR Clinic, we offer session packs that meet each patient's needs and offer a more appealing value.

At a minimum, it is recommended to have 3 to 5 PRP sessions to achieve the desired results. Maintenance is done after 1 year, depending on each case.

Yes. It is always necessary to undergo a capillary assessment to identify the type of hair loss and its causes. Only then can an individual treatment plan be drawn up and the number of sessions needed to achieve the final result be determined. Schedule your capillary assessment consultation with Dr. Augusto Guerreiro and take the first step to start your PRP treatment.

No. PRP Capillary treatment is associated with a perfectly tolerable discomfort, both during the blood sample collection (similar to having a blood test) and during the plasma infiltration (a very fine needle is used, and vibration is applied to mask slight pricks). However, if the patient experiences any discomfort that is difficult to manage, a local anesthetic can be administered to provide relief and ensure the patient's comfort.

Each case is unique, and hair loss or density loss can have various causes (genetic, hormonal, nutritional deficiencies, among others) and different levels of intensity.

To determine the right capillary treatment for you, you should schedule a diagnostic consultation to identify your hair problem.

Schedule your consultation with Dr. Augusto Guerreiro, a specialist in capillary medicine, for a capillary assessment, and you will find out which treatment will meet your needs.
