Can Alopecia Be Treated With PRP and PRF?

Alopecia is not a single condition — it includes androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss), alopecia areata (autoimmune patchy loss), traction alopecia, and telogen effluvium. PRP and PRF can help several of these — but the response depends on the type, the duration and how early treatment starts.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses your own concentrated platelets to release growth factors directly into the scalp, stimulating dormant follicles. PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is the next generation — a more concentrated, slow-release matrix that contains additional white cells and stem cells.

At Silk Clinics in Dubai Healthcare City, PRP and PRF are most effective for early-stage androgenetic alopecia and certain cases of alopecia areata. For autoimmune or scarring alopecia, we coordinate with dermatology before injecting. A typical course is 3–4 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart, with maintenance every 6 months.

Results take 3–6 months to appear — denser regrowth, less shedding, thicker shaft diameter. For advanced cases, we often combine PRF with exosome therapy and medical management for the strongest outcome.
