Scalp PRP Injections
Scalp PRP injections use a platelet-rich preparation derived from your own blood. This service is considered as part of a hair restoration plan focused on scalp health and hair thinning. Before treatment, a provider reviews your hair history, shedding pattern, and medical factors to determine whether scalp PRP is a reasonable option for your care.
The goal is to understand what may be contributing to thinning or shedding, then discuss whether PRP injections could be part of a broader plan. Ask how scalp PRP differs from facial PRP, exosome injections, and microneedling combinations so each option is considered on its own evidence and risks.

Understanding
PRP Injections
Scalp PRP injections use a platelet-rich preparation derived from a sample of your own blood. The process typically involves collection, preparation, and injection into the scalp. Preparation methods can vary, and the evidence for benefit depends on the type of hair concern and the treatment plan being discussed.
This service is focused on hair restoration and scalp health, not facial skin concerns. It is often considered for people looking into options for thinning hair, shedding, or scalp health support. Before treatment, a provider assesses whether PRP injections could be a reasonable part of your care plan.
Scalp PRP is different from facial PRP, exosome injections, and microneedling combinations. Each has its own preparation, delivery, and intended use. The goal of this service is to explain the process clearly, so you can understand what to expect and whether a consultation makes sense for your hair concerns.
A Personalized Approach To Scalp PRP Injections
Understand Your Hair Concern Before a Procedure
A useful scalp PRP discussion starts with your hair history, shedding pattern, and medical factors. The goal is to compare the proposed procedure with condition-specific care and agree on how response would be assessed over time.
01 — Consultation
Review your hair history, shedding pattern, family history, recent illness, medicines, and prior hair treatments to understand what may be contributing to thinning or shedding.
02 — Evaluation
Assess the scalp and determine whether further investigation is needed before deciding whether blood collection and scalp injections are suitable for your care.
03 — Personalized Plan
Explain the proposed PRP preparation, evidence, risks, alternatives, and any suggested course before consent, so you can make an informed decision about your care.
04 — Ongoing Care
Review scalp symptoms and hair changes using agreed measures, and reconsider treatment if response is limited or concerns persist over time.
A Considered Approach to Scalp PRP
At Basis, the conversation starts with diagnosis and suitability. Ask what type of hair loss is suspected, why scalp PRP is being considered, and how it fits into your broader hair restoration plan. Discuss the proposed preparation, realistic expectations, and how response would be measured before agreeing to a course. Pain, bruising, bleeding, and infection are possible, and unexplained or inflammatory hair loss may need a different pathway.
The goal is to explain the service clearly, so you can understand what to expect and whether a consultation makes sense for your hair concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
This service is specifically for scalp injections within hair restoration. Facial PRP and PRF have a separate aesthetic scope and assessment.
No; hair loss has several causes with different treatment needs. A scalp and history assessment should guide whether PRP is reasonable.
A preparation is derived from a sample of your own blood. Ask how it is prepared and what evidence applies to that method for your concern.
No; collection, handling, and injection still carry risks. Pain, bruising, bleeding, and infection should be discussed before treatment.
No regrowth amount or timeline is guaranteed. Discuss realistic uncertainty and how response would be assessed before committing to a course.
A marked or sudden change may have a medical contributor. Discuss the history before assuming that an injection procedure is the appropriate next step.
That depends on the treatment, scalp condition, and proposed plan. Review all products and medicines without stopping prescribed care on your own.
Estimated visit: 45–60 min. Confirm appointment details when booking. Confirm time for scalp assessment, blood collection, preparation, and injections if appropriate, and ask about scalp-care instructions.
