Our blood is made of two main components – red blood cells and plasma. Plasma contains white blood cells and platelets, which are rich in growth factors. These growth factors can help stimulate activity of hair follicles and promote new hair growth.

Injecting PRP into the scalp stimulates the stem cells in the hair root which will lead to the following activities:

• Activate hair follicles that are in the dormant stage to start growing hairs again.
• Increase blood supply and nutrients to the hair.
• Prolong the growing phase of the hair cycle so it does not shed so easily.

Overall, PRP will help you grow new baby hairs, decrease hair fall, strengthen existing hairs as well as thicken them.

Anyone experiencing hair loss is essentially a good candidate for PRP, but those in their early stage of hair loss tend to respond best. It is more challenging to reactivate hair follicles that have been dormant for a long time and patients suffering from end stage hair loss should consider other alternative treatment options. Early diagnosis and treatment is key.

You should not undergo PRP therapy if you fall into either of these groups:

• If you have an underlying autoimmune disorder such as thyroid disease or lupus, you are unlikely to have good results because these conditions will continue to cause hair loss over time.
• If you are on blood thinners, your platelets won’t work as effectively and results cannot be guaranteed.

PRP is a non-invasive medical treatment for hair loss to enhance existing hair as well as prevent further hair loss. The treatment time is short and can be completed over your lunch break. There is also minimal to zero downtime following the treatment and it guarantees results as backed by scientific research.

We are currently having a first-timer promotion for PRP at RM499 only.

You can start to see a difference in hair quality after just 1 PRP therapy. Nevertheless, for best results, consistency is key. Most patients opt to do a treatment once a month for the first 3 months, and then every 3 – 6 months thereafter as maintenance, depending on the individual patient’s response and results.

The first result that patients usually note is rejuvenated hair (more shiny and thick), decreased hair shedding, followed by new baby hairs and increased hair length. Receiving treatments every 3 – 6 months on a long-term basis is optimal for continuing to stimulate the growth factors and stem cells that are associated with hair regrowth and preventing hair fallout.

At DHI, patients will receive a local anaesthetic before the PRP procedure takes place. You may feel a slight pricking sensation (like the tip of a pen on the scalp). Soon afterwards, the anaesthetic numbs the skin, relieving any sensation throughout the procedure.

In terms of recovery, there is zero downtime. However, some patients may experience mild discomfort such as headache, minor swelling or itching which will usually subside in less than a day.
