How PRP Stimulates Hair Growth: DRHC Dubai Insights

Hair loss can be distressing — whether it’s thinning patches, a receding hairline, or overall hair shedding. At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, we understand that hair plays an important role in confidence and self-image. Fortunately, modern treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy are transforming how we approach hair restoration — using your body’s own natural healing power to stimulate growth safely and effectively.

What Is PRP for Hair Growth?

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a treatment that uses components from your own blood to encourage natural hair regrowth. Your blood contains platelets, which are rich in growth factors — substances that help repair tissue, promote cell regeneration, and improve blood supply.

During a PRP session at DRHC Dubai, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated solution is then injected into specific areas of the scalp to activate dormant hair follicles and encourage new hair growth.

How PRP Stimulates Hair Growth

The success of PRP lies in its ability to revitalize hair follicles naturally. Here’s how it works:

1. Boosts Blood Flow to Hair Follicles

PRP contains essential growth factors that enhance microcirculation in the scalp, ensuring hair follicles receive more oxygen and nutrients — both essential for healthy growth.

2. Awakens Dormant Follicles

Many follicles become “inactive” over time due to hormonal or genetic factors. PRP injections reawaken these follicles, promoting the growth of stronger, thicker strands.

3. Prolongs the Hair Growth Phase

Hair naturally goes through growth (anagen), resting (telogen), and shedding (catagen) phases. PRP helps extend the anagen phase, allowing hair to grow longer before naturally shedding.

4. Strengthens Existing Hair

Even if you’re not experiencing visible bald spots, PRP strengthens existing hair strands and reduces breakage, leading to a fuller, healthier appearance.

What to Expect During PRP Treatment at DRHC Dubai

At the Dr. Rami Hamed Center, every PRP session is performed in a sterile, comfortable environment by experienced specialists.

• Consultation: Your doctor will assess your scalp, discuss your medical history, and determine if PRP is the right treatment for you.
• Procedure: The entire session takes about 45–60 minutes. After drawing your blood and preparing the plasma, the PRP is gently injected into the scalp using fine needles.
• Recovery: There’s no downtime — you can return to normal activities right after the procedure. Mild redness or tenderness may occur for a short time but resolves quickly.
• Results: Noticeable improvement in hair texture and growth is usually seen after 2–3 sessions, with optimal results appearing over several months.

Is PRP Right for You?

PRP is effective for both men and women experiencing early-stage hair thinning, genetic hair loss, or post-hair transplant recovery. It’s a natural, non-surgical solution suitable for those who prefer treatments without chemicals or implants.

However, individuals with severe baldness or underlying medical conditions may need a customized approach, which our dermatologists at DRHC Dubai can guide you through during a consultation.
