What is PRP for Hair Loss?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for hair loss is a non-surgical treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate hair follicles and slow hair shedding. A small blood draw is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the growth factors, which are then injected directly into the scalp at the areas of thinning.
Treatment takes 45 to 60 minutes. Most patients need 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for an initial course, followed by maintenance every 3 to 6 months. Results develop gradually — expect to see reduced shedding within 2 to 3 months and improved density at 6 months.
PRP works best for early-stage hair loss and thinning rather than completely bald areas. It is effective for both male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia) and female hair thinning. Pricing is typically per session, and most providers recommend a package of 3 for the initial course.

What to ask your provider
- Am I a good candidate for PRP — is my hair loss early-stage or advanced?
- How many sessions do you recommend for my specific pattern of thinning?
- What growth factor concentration do you use, and how do you prepare the PRP?
- Who performs the injections — an MD, NP, or PA? How many PRP hair treatments have you done?
- Can I see before-and-after photos from your own patients?
- Do you recommend combining PRP with minoxidil, finasteride, or other therapies?
Frequently asked questions
How much does PRP for hair loss cost in San Francisco?
PRP hair loss treatment in San Francisco typically costs $910 to $1,540 per session. Most patients start with 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, bringing the initial course to $2,520 to $5,040. Maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months are generally priced individually.
How many PRP sessions do I need for hair loss?
Most providers recommend 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for the initial treatment course. After that, maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months help sustain results. Patients with more significant thinning may need additional sessions in the initial phase.
Does PRP actually work for hair loss?
PRP has solid clinical evidence for androgenic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss), particularly in early to moderate stages. Multiple studies show meaningful reduction in hair shedding and increased density at 6 months. It does not regrow hair in completely bald areas — it works on existing follicles that are still active.
What is PRP hair loss recovery like?
There is minimal downtime. Some patients experience mild scalp tenderness, redness, or swelling at injection sites for 24 to 48 hours. You can return to work the same day. Avoid washing your hair or applying products to your scalp for 24 hours after treatment.
PRP vs minoxidil vs finasteride for hair loss?
These treatments work differently and are often combined. Minoxidil and finasteride are daily medications taken indefinitely. PRP is an in-office procedure done in courses. Many providers recommend PRP alongside medication for the best results, especially if medication alone is not producing enough improvement.
