PRP hair treatment in Istanbul
PRP treatment uses a platelet-rich preparation obtained from the patient’s own blood. For hair concerns, the assessment should explain the proposed treatment course and how progress will be reviewed.
What to discuss at your consultation
Ask why PRP is proposed for your type of hair loss, how the preparation is made and how progress will be assessed before committing to further sessions. PRP uses a concentrate prepared from your own blood sample and is injected into thinning areas of the scalp. It does not create new follicles, so it is usually discussed for weakened hair rather than completely bald areas. Mention any blood disorder, anticoagulant medication or scalp condition, and ask whether PRP would be combined with other options such as medication or a transplant. Photographs taken in the same lighting before treatment make it easier to judge any change fairly.
Personalised treatment plan
Non-surgical treatments are not offered as a package; hotel, transfers and interpreter services are not included for these treatments. We help you plan your appointment. Clarify the details of the treatment, the number of sessions and follow-up with the treating facility.
Travel and length of stay
Ask for an individual schedule before booking flights. Confirm the number of visits, review appointments and when the treating professional expects you to be fit to travel. Some treatment plans require more than one visit.
Follow-up after returning home
After you return home, we follow up with you for 2 years and we get in touch with you ourselves: close follow-up in the first week, then once a month until month 6 and every 3 months until the end of the second year.

How many PRP sessions are needed for hair?
PRP is usually planned as a course of several sessions, often about a month apart; less frequent maintenance sessions may then be discussed for some people. The number of sessions depends on your hair loss and how you respond. If you are travelling, bear in mind that the sessions may not fit into a single visit. The treating doctor sets the session plan.
Is PRP for hair painful?
PRP is given as injections into the scalp with fine needles; most people describe it as uncomfortable but tolerable. A local numbing cream or other methods may be used to improve comfort. Brief tenderness or mild swelling may follow. Discuss pain management with your treating team in advance.
Can PRP be combined with a hair transplant?
In some plans PRP may be discussed as a supportive treatment on the day of the transplant or afterwards. Whether it is necessary or useful for you depends on your hair loss and your plan; its effect varies from person to person. The treating doctor decides whether PRP is added to your plan. Hair transplant packages include one PRP session and one mesotherapy session to support the transplanted hair; the treating doctor decides whether they are suitable for you.
When can I wash my hair after PRP?
After PRP, hair can usually be washed gently the same day or the next day; avoid pressing on the injection sites in the first hours. You may be asked to avoid intense exercise, saunas and hair dye for a short time. Follow the written instructions you are given for exact timing; your treating team's instructions take priority.
Who should avoid PRP for hair?
Some blood disorders, blood-thinning medicines, active infection or certain chronic conditions may affect whether PRP is suitable. It is also usually postponed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Share your full medical history and the medicines you take in advance. The treating doctor decides whether PRP is suitable for you.

What is PRP hair treatment?
PRP hair treatment uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The concentrate is injected into areas of the scalp where hair is thinning. The aim is to support existing, weakened hair follicles; it does not create new follicles and cannot replace hair in areas that are already completely bald.
Who may be suitable for PRP hair treatment?
It is usually discussed for people with early or moderate thinning who still have hair in the affected area, sometimes alongside medication or a hair transplant. The cause of hair loss should be assessed first. Blood disorders, anticoagulant medication, active scalp infection and some other medical conditions need an individual doctor’s assessment before PRP is considered.
PRP hair treatment: What should international patients expect in Istanbul?
You can share scalp photos and a short medical history before travelling. In Istanbul the treating team assesses your scalp, takes the blood sample, prepares the PRP and performs the injections in the same appointment. PRP is often planned as a series, so ask how further sessions would be organised while you live abroad, and follow the washing and styling instructions you receive.
What is recovery like after PRP hair treatment?
Downtime is usually short. The scalp may feel tender or look slightly red or swollen for a while after the injections. The treating team explains when you can wash your hair, exercise and use hair products again. Contact them if you notice increasing pain, redness or signs of infection.
What results can be expected from PRP hair treatment?
Any change is gradual and differs between people, and some notice little difference. Progress is judged more reliably by comparing photographs taken in the same conditions over time. PRP does not remove the underlying causes of hair loss, so it is generally viewed as a supportive treatment rather than a one-off solution.
