Which specialist performs PRP for hair loss?

PRP means platelet-rich plasma. A clinician takes a blood sample, processes it, and injects the prepared plasma into selected scalp areas. The specialist should first examine the scalp and hair pattern because shedding can have many causes, including inflammation, nutritional problems, hormonal changes, inherited pattern hair loss, or an autoimmune process. A trichology-focused dermatologist can decide whether PRP is reasonable, whether tests are needed, and whether another treatment should be started or combined with it.

Bring a timeline of when shedding began, changes in density, family history, recent illness, diet changes, medicines, and previous hair treatments. Tell the clinic about bleeding conditions, medicines that affect clotting, scalp infection, pregnancy, and fainting with blood draws. Follow instructions about washing the scalp and taking medicines. After injections, keep the scalp clean as advised and report unusual symptoms rather than applying unapproved products.

Arrange a medical assessment for sudden shedding, sharply defined bald patches, scalp pain, scaling, pustules, sores, or loss of eyebrows or eyelashes. After PRP, contact the clinic for worsening pain, expanding redness, pus, fever, or significant swelling. Urgent care is appropriate for breathing difficulty, fainting that does not settle, or signs of a severe allergic reaction.

Ask what type of hair loss you have, whether scalp examination or blood tests are needed, and what PRP can and cannot address. Ask who draws and processes the blood, how injections are performed, what aftercare is required, and when the response will be reviewed.
