PRP for Hair Loss in Dubai — How It Works

Autologous platelet-rich plasma scalp injections — physician-administered at Bluewaters Island.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment uses the patient’s own blood to extract a concentration of platelets containing growth factors that may stimulate hair follicle activity and reduce shedding. At MED YU MED Dubai, the process involves a blood draw, 2-stage centrifugation to concentrate platelets, and precise microinjections into the scalp using mesotherapy technique. A typical protocol consists of 6-8 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 3-6 months. PRP hair treatment has shown clinical utility for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) and telogen effluvium. It is an autologous procedure, meaning no foreign substances are introduced. As results depend on individual biological response and underlying cause of hair loss, a physician assessment — including trichoscopy and potentially hormonal blood panel — is conducted before commencing treatment. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.

How it works

• Blood draw (10–20 ml) from the arm — standard venipuncture
• Centrifuge to concentrate platelets and their growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, IGF-1)
• Scalp preparation with topical anaesthetic or local anaesthetic injections
• PRP injected into the scalp at follicle depth across the target area
• Session duration: 60–75 minutes including prep
