What Is Standard PRP Treatment?

Standard PRP is plain platelet-rich plasma with nothing added. We draw a small tube of your blood, separate the platelet layer in a centrifuge, and inject that concentrate into the thinning zones of your scalp. Platelets release growth factors that help tissue repair, and those signals can wake up follicles that have become weak and slow.

It is our core PRP option and the one most first-time patients start with. There are no incisions, no stitches and no recovery time off work. The aim is to thicken the hair you already have and slow further shedding, not to grow hair on smooth, bald skin. It is a simple, low-risk starting point, offered at our hair clinic in Lahore under a surgeon’s supervision rather than as a salon service.

Standard PRP Treatment Candidates

• Mild to moderate thinning: hair that is finer or sparser than before, but follicles are still present.
• Diffuse thinning in women: a widening part or overall loss of volume across the top of the scalp.
• Early male pattern loss: men at the start of a receding hairline or thinning crown.
• First PRP course: patients new to PRP who want a straightforward, lower-cost starting point.
• Fit for injections: no bleeding disorder, active scalp infection or other condition that rules out scalp injections.

Standard PRP Treatment Sessions

1. Consultation: we look at your loss pattern and medical history and confirm you are suitable for Standard PRP.
2. Blood collection: a small amount of blood is taken from a vein in your arm.
3. Centrifuge spin: the tube is spun to separate the platelet-rich layer from red cells.
4. Scalp comfort: numbing cream is applied, and a local anaesthetic can be used if needed.
5. Injection: the plasma is injected with fine needles into the areas where thinning is most visible.
6. Course planning: your next session is booked, usually 4 to 6 weeks later.

How is Standard PRP different from Advanced PRP?

Standard PRP uses your plasma on its own. Advanced PRP combines the plasma with ACell and is offered to selected patients after assessment.

How long does a Standard PRP session take?

Most of the visit is preparation. The blood draw, spin and injections usually fit within an hour.

When will I notice a difference?

Many patients see early changes in 2 to 3 months, with further progress over the following months as new growth cycles complete.

Are there side effects?

Side effects are uncommon. Mild redness, swelling or tenderness can occur and usually clears within a few days.

Will I need more sessions later?

Often, yes. PRP does not stop the cause of pattern hair loss, so many patients book maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months.
