Starting a hair restoration journey is exciting, but it often comes with questions: Will it hurt? How long until I see results? What happens after my appointment?
Here’s your complete guide to what happens after PRP hair treatment – from recovery to results – so you know exactly what to expect at every stage.
At Zenvité, we provide doctor-led PRP hair treatments in our HIW- and CQC-registered clinic, serving patients across North Wales, Chester, Wrexham, and the Wirral.
🩸 What Happens Immediately After PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment involves injecting your own growth factor-rich plasma into areas of thinning hair. Because it’s a non-surgical procedure, recovery is quick and straightforward.
In the first 24–48 hours you may notice:
✔️ Mild redness or swelling on the scalp
✔️ Tenderness or a tight sensation
✔️ Tiny pinpoint bruises at injection sites
These are normal and resolve quickly. Most patients return to work and daily activities the same day.
🚫 Post-PRP Aftercare Tips
To get the best results and minimise side effects:
-
Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours.
-
Skip strenuous exercise and saunas for 48 hours.
-
Stay out of direct sunlight on the scalp for a few days.
-
Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (they can blunt the healing process).
At Zenvité, your doctor will give you personalised aftercare advice to support your treatment.
📅 PRP Results Timeline
PRP works by stimulating natural hair growth cycles, so results build gradually. Here’s a typical timeline:
👀 Week 1–2:
-
Scalp may feel healthier and less flaky.
-
Shedding may continue temporarily (this is normal as weaker hairs make way for stronger growth).
🌱 Month 1–3:
-
Reduced hair shedding.
-
Early signs of regrowth may appear, especially fine “baby hairs” at the hairline.
🌿 Month 3–6:
-
Noticeable thickening of hair density.
-
Existing hairs look stronger, healthier, and shinier.
🌳 Month 6–12:
-
Full results for most patients, with significant improvement in coverage and volume.
🔁 Maintenance Treatments
To sustain results, many patients benefit from maintenance PRP sessions every 6–12 months. Your doctor will advise the best schedule based on your hair and scalp health.
