If you are losing hair, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) can be a helpful option. Many patients ask: how many sessions will I need to see real change? 

The short answer: most people need a series of treatments, not a single session. Radiance Clinics offers PRP for hairfall with plans that fit different needs and goals. Here’s a clear guide to what to expect.

Typical course: 3–6 sessions is common

Clinics usually recommend 3 to 6 PRP sessions, spaced about four weeks apart. This schedule gives the scalp time to react to the growth factors in PRP. Many patients notice early improvement in hair shedding after the first two sessions. 

Visible thickening and new hair growth often appear around months 3–4. Full gains continue to build for several months after the last session. Results will vary by person.

Why several sessions are needed

PRP works by sending growth signals to hair follicles. Each injection triggers a healing and regeneration cycle. One session gives a boost. Repeated sessions increase the cumulative effect. 

Think of each treatment as a step that pushes dormant follicles toward active growth. Over time the hair shafts become thicker and denser.

Factors that change how many sessions you need

• Stage of hair loss: Early thinning responds faster. Longstanding bald patches need more time.
• Age and health: Younger, healthier scalps tend to respond better.
• Cause of hair loss: Genetic loss (androgenetic alopecia) may need ongoing maintenance. Hair loss from temporary causes can recover faster.
• Lifestyle and meds: Smoking, poor diet, or certain drugs can slow results. Follow clinic advice on supplements and hair-care.
• Combination treatments: Adding mesotherapy, topical minoxidil, or low-level laser therapy can improve outcomes and may change the session plan.

Maintenance and long-term plan

After the initial series, many people have maintenance sessions every 6–12 months. Maintenance helps keep results and supports ongoing hair health. Radiance Clinics often advises a personalised follow-up plan during your consultation.

What to expect during and after sessions

PRP sessions are outpatient procedures. You may have mild soreness or redness for a short time. There is minimal downtime. Results are gradual. Track photos help you and your clinician see progress. If you do not see improvement after a few sessions, your doctor will review other causes and adjust the plan.

Final tips before you start

Book a consultation at a trusted clinic like Radiance Clinics. Get a scalp assessment and a clear plan. Ask about platelet concentration, number of sessions, estimated timeline, and costs. Bring a list of medicines you take. And take photos now — they make it easy to spot real change later.
