PRP vs Hair Transplant for Male Hair Loss at DRHC

Hair loss can be deeply personal and emotionally challenging for many men. Whether it begins as a receding hairline, thinning at the crown, or more widespread shedding, it can affect self-esteem and confidence. At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, we understand these concerns and offer advanced, evidence-based solutions tailored to each patient’s needs. Two of the most popular treatments we provide for male hair loss are Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and Hair Transplantation.

Let’s explore how these treatments work, their differences, and how to determine which one may be best suited for you.

What Causes Male Hair Loss?

Before deciding on treatment, it’s important to understand the cause of hair loss.
The most common cause is androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness, which is linked to genetics and hormones. Other possible causes include:

  • Stress or sudden illness
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Certain medications
  • Scalp conditions or inflammation

At DRHC Dubai, we start every treatment journey with a detailed consultation and diagnostic assessment to identify the root cause of your hair loss and recommend the most effective solution.

What Is PRP Therapy?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses your own blood to promote natural hair regrowth. During the procedure, a small sample of your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and then injected into areas of thinning hair.

Platelets are rich in growth factors, which help stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve scalp health, and increase hair thickness.

Benefits of PRP therapy include:

  • Minimally invasive and quick (usually 30–45 minutes)
  • No downtime — you can return to daily activities immediately
  • Natural results using your body’s own healing potential
  • Safe and suitable for early or mild hair thinning

PRP is often recommended for men who still have active hair follicles and are looking to strengthen or thicken existing hair.

What Is a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is a more permanent, surgical solution for men with significant hair loss. It involves transferring healthy hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) to bald or thinning areas.

There are two main techniques:

  • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Individual hair follicles are extracted and transplanted.
  • FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant): A small strip of scalp is removed, and follicles are separated and implanted.

At DRHC Dubai, our surgeons use the latest technologies to ensure precision, natural-looking results, and minimal scarring.

Benefits of hair transplantation include:

  • Permanent and natural hair restoration
  • Suitable for advanced hair loss
  • Results improve gradually over several months
  • High patient satisfaction when performed by experienced specialists

While it’s a surgical procedure, modern techniques make the process safe and relatively comfortable. Our team ensures every step — from consultation to recovery — is handled with care and professionalism.

PRP vs Hair Transplant: Which Is Right for You?

Choosing between PRP and a hair transplant depends on several factors, including:

Factor PRP Therapy Hair Transplant
Invasiveness Non-surgical Surgical
Downtime None Minimal (a few days)
Results Gradual thickening Permanent regrowth
Best for Early hair thinning Advanced hair loss
Maintenance Requires multiple sessions Usually, one main procedure

Some patients even combine PRP therapy with hair transplantation to enhance growth and maintain healthy hair after surgery.

Common Concerns and FAQs

Is PRP painful?

Most patients describe PRP as mildly uncomfortable but tolerable. A topical anesthetic is used to minimize discomfort.

How soon will I see results?

PRP results appear gradually — usually within 3–6 months — while transplanted hair begins to grow naturally after 4–6 months and continues to improve up to a year.

Are the results permanent?

Hair transplants provide long-term results since transplanted hair is resistant to the hormones that cause baldness. PRP results require maintenance sessions for sustained improvement.

Will I need both treatments?

In many cases, combining PRP with a hair transplant can help strengthen transplanted follicles and improve overall density.
