Does PRP treatment show promise for naturally thin/fine hair (not thinning)?

PRP injections into the scalp work very well to activate the hair follicle and create hair thickening in areas the hair is thinning out.   Patients also experience hair growth in lenght and amazing texture.
in our office, patients are coming back very happy after only one treatment.  How many treatments are needed depends on the patient but normally around 3 or one a month x3 and  a maintenance is required wt a treatment quarterly.

PRP (from an anecdotal perspective) has proven to be an effective tool in the arena of hair restoration both as an adjunct to grafting as well as standalone treatment for those who may not (yet) be a candidate for grafting. Patients have demonstrated slowed loss, thickening of existing hair and regrowth. The typical duration of effect is 6-9 months with most patients being treated 2x yearly (at least initially).
Ultimately, whether or not PRP will be effective will depend upon your diagnosis. Some causes of hair loss will respond better to other medical/chemical/surgical therapies. PRP is by no means a magic bullet.
As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS) with experience in hair restoration. 

Dear 5150anon,
Thank you for posting this question. If you don’t have genetic male- or female-pattern hair loss, it is not likely you will be able to thicken up naturally thin hairs. What we would like to see in patients with androgenetic hair loss is a return to the previous thickness of hair. Making the hair thicker than it ever was naturally is not a realistic goal of PRP therapy. I hope this information is helpful to you.
Kind Regards,

PRP ıs a very effective solution to get thicker hair. But in order to get the best result you need to get your vitamin, hormon test done beforehands.

A recent study from California has shownPRP  has the ability to thicken hair approximately 30%. It will also increase the rate of hair growth as well as decrease shedding. We have treated patients with thin hair that are not undergoing hair miniaturization or significant loss with success.. The treatment protocol is  different than for those with androgenic alopecia.

PRP techniques have shown to accelerate the regeneration process, and improve overall scalp health. Additionally, the therapy makes use of the proteins and growth factors that are included in PRP. These factors, including VEGF and PDGF, have shown to induce follicular growth and result in the strengthening of miniaturized hairs making for a fuller, thicker and healthier head of hair.

Thank you for your question. PRP has shown the most promise in early phases of androgenetic alopecia (i.e. genetically driven pattern hair loss). While patients with naturally thin hair may note some improvement in thickness of their hair with PRP injections the outcomes are not as predictable. As long as one is realistic about thsee possible outcomes there is no major downside to trying PRP treatments for naturally thin hair because it is an extremely safe procedure with no significant down time. It's important to note that typically more than 1 treatment is needed to see optimal results. I advise monthly injections for at least 3 months with most patients having noticeable results about 3 to 4 months after the last treatment. Best of luck! 

Thank you for your question! Although typically discussed as a treatment for hair loss, PRP is a great treatment that can help individuals with naturally thin hair also. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a physician experienced in PRP treatments who can help decide if PRP treatments are right for you.I hope this answer is helpful! Best of luck.

yes PRP has been shown and proven to help grow and thicken hair. I would suggest you visit a provider near you to have your hair looked at in order to get a better idea if PRP is the best solution for you. Here at my clinic we have seen amazing results with PRP as far as thickening and growing hair

Hi 5150anon,Scalp injections at the dermal level with PRP works with both male pattern and female pattern baldness. It's the ideal treatment for you because it:-increases the blood flow to the follicles, which carries growth factors,-increases the number of hair shafts-thickens each hair strand -strengthens hair (measured by hair pull)  and-prolongs the anagen phase (growth phase) of the hair.Effects are appreciable in 3-4 months and 75% of patients reported positive results. All the best,Justin Harper, M.D.
