PRP Hair Loss Treatment
Hair loss does not always require surgery. For patients in the early to moderate stages of thinning, or for those who want to support their results after a hair transplant, PRP and PRF hair restoration offer a non-surgical option at the Hair Transplant Centre Toronto.
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, and PRF, or Platelet-Rich Fibrin, use growth factors from your own blood to support weaker follicles, improve scalp health, and help slow ongoing hair loss. Because the treatment uses material from your own body, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low.
At our King Street West clinic, PRP and PRF treatments are personally administered by Dr. Kristy Bailey, a double-board-certified dermatologist rated number one among 233 practitioners in Toronto on RateMDs.

PRP Hair Loss Treatment Areas
Postpartum Hair Loss
Postpartum hair loss can happen when hormonal changes after childbirth push more hairs than usual into the shedding phase. Although this type of shedding is often temporary, it can still be stressful and noticeable.
PRP and PRF injections help support follicle recovery by delivering concentrated growth factors directly to thinning areas of the scalp. This can help encourage the hair cycle to return to a healthier growth pattern.
Male Pattern Hair Loss
Male pattern hair loss often appears as thinning at the temples, frontal hairline, and crown. It is commonly linked to follicle sensitivity to DHT, a hormone associated with hair loss.
PRP and PRF do not change the underlying hormone response, but they can help support active follicles, improve hair thickness, and slow the visible progression of thinning. Treatment is usually most effective when started before significant follicle loss has occurred.
Female Pattern Hair Loss
Female pattern hair loss often appears as thinning across the top of the scalp or crown, while the frontal hairline remains mostly intact. Because many follicles may still be active but weakened, PRP and PRF can be a strong non-surgical option.
These treatments help support follicle activity, strengthen existing hair, and improve overall density when the hair loss pattern is appropriate for injection-based therapy.

Benefits of PRP and PRF for Hair Loss
PRP and PRF use growth factors concentrated from your own blood to stimulate follicle activity, support scalp circulation, and help slow the progression of hair loss. Because the injected material comes from your own body, the treatment is well tolerated and carries a very low risk of allergic reaction or incompatibility.
For patients with early to moderate hair thinning, PRP and PRF can help strengthen existing follicles, improve hair texture, and support healthier growth over time. The treatment is especially valuable when there are still active or partially active follicles in the thinning areas.
PRF and PRP for Hair Loss Treatment Overview
PRP for hair loss & PRF hair restoration is an effective treatment for hair loss or alopecia. In the right hands, it is capable of stimulating cells responsible for hair growth and reversing the process by which hair follicles are damaged. As a result, stronger, thicker, and dense hair is achieved.
The results of PRP & PRF are so beneficial that it has been developed for other medical areas such as the treatment of tendonitis and joint injuries. Top athletes around the world are injected with PRP into their joints to accelerate wound healing. Although each patient varies, the results of PRP & PRF can become visible after the first 3 sessions, with maximum results seen after a minimum of 6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart.
PRP for hair loss & PRF for hair restoration s a recommended treatment both for men and women who need to increase their hair density.
What to Expect During a PRP Hair Treatment Session
Each PRP or PRF session at our Toronto clinic takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes from start to finish. A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, then processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich portion.
A closed-system technique is used throughout the process, from blood collection to preparation of the injectable product. This helps maintain sterility and protect the quality of the PRP or PRF before it is delivered into the scalp.

Arriving well-hydrated can help improve the quality and volume of plasma collected from your blood sample. Anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen and aspirin may need to be avoided before treatment because they can affect platelet function.
Dr. Bailey will provide a full pre-treatment checklist during your consultation so you know exactly how to prepare.
Once your blood sample has been processed, Dr. Bailey injects the platelet-rich fraction into the thinning areas of the scalp using a series of precise micro-injections.
The injection portion usually takes only a few minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or brief stinging, which settles quickly once the treatment is complete.
You can return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Anti-inflammatory medications and blood thinners should usually be avoided for 24 hours, and washing your hair is typically best delayed for the same period.
Mild scalp tenderness, tightness, or minor swelling can occur during the first 24 to 48 hours. This is expected and usually resolves on its own.

Commonly Asked Questions
PRP and PRF are recommended for men and women with non-scarring hair loss, including pattern hair loss and telogen effluvium. The treatment works best when active or partially active follicles are still present, which is why a scalp assessment is completed before treatment begins.
A minimum of six sessions spaced about four weeks apart is typically recommended for the best results. Some patients notice less shedding or improved hair texture after the first two to three sessions, with more visible density changes developing after the full treatment course.
Results from a completed treatment course are usually maintained for six to twelve months. Maintenance sessions once or twice per year may be recommended for patients who respond well and want to preserve their results over time.
Both PRP and PRF concentrate platelets and growth factors from your own blood. PRF is processed at a lower centrifuge speed, which may preserve a broader mix of regenerative cells and allow growth factors to release more gradually after injection.
The best option depends on your scalp condition, hair loss pattern, and treatment goals. Dr. Bailey will recommend the most appropriate approach during your consultation.
Most patients describe PRP or PRF injections as mild pressure or brief stinging. The injection phase usually takes only three to five minutes, and discomfort settles quickly after the treatment is complete.
Yes. PRP and PRF can be combined with other hair loss treatments offered at the clinic, including FUE hair transplantation, Viviscal hair supplements, the Theradome red LED light helmet, Hydrafacial Keravive, and Aquagold microneedling. Dr. Bailey will recommend the best combination based on your hair loss pattern and goals.
PRP and PRF are generally very well tolerated because the injected material comes from your own blood. Mild scalp tenderness, tightness, or localized swelling can occur during the first 24 to 48 hours and usually resolves without treatment.
PRP or PRF may not be recommended for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active scalp infections or inflammatory skin conditions, or have a history of impaired healing. Dr. Bailey reviews your medical history during consultation to confirm whether treatment is appropriate.
No. PRP and PRF hair treatments are considered elective and are not covered by OHIP or most private insurance plans. A full treatment cost breakdown is provided during your consultation.
