PRP, PRF or Mesotherapy for Thinning Hair?

PRP and PRF are prepared from a sample of your own blood. Hair mesotherapy describes placing a preparation into the scalp, and the ingredients can vary. A diagnosis matters more than a treatment name: gradual pattern thinning calls for a different discussion from sudden shedding or hair loss with scalp inflammation.

How do PRP and PRF differ?

Platelet-rich plasma and injectable platelet-rich fibrin are processed differently. Preparations and the schedules used in published studies also vary. PRP has been studied for pattern hair loss, while research into injectable PRF is developing. Sharing a blood source does not establish equal effectiveness or show that one is universally better.

What is in a mesotherapy treatment?

Ask for the full name and ingredients of the proposed preparation, what evidence supports it for your diagnosis, and any allergy or irritation risks. Findings for one formulation do not automatically apply to a mixture with different ingredients. Ask why it is being proposed instead of another option, including established medical treatment where appropriate.

How would you know if a course helped?

Photograph the same parting or target area before starting, with dry hair and consistent lighting. Agree what would count as improvement and when it is reasonable to compare photographs. If several procedures or medicines start together, it can be difficult to tell which produced any change. Discuss that uncertainty before committing to repeat treatment.
