PRP After Hair Transplant - Maximising Your Investment
You made the investment. The research, the consultation, the surgery, the recovery. Thousands of grafts carefully placed to restore your hairline.
Now you want every single one of them to survive and thrive.
PRP after hair transplant is not an afterthought. It is how you protect your investment and maximise your results.
Why Post-Transplant Care Matters
Hair transplant moves follicles from donor areas to where you need them. But transplanted follicles face challenges. They are removed from blood supply, handled, stored, and replanted. Not every graft survives this journey.
Graft survival rates vary. Even excellent surgeons report that some percentage of transplanted follicles fail to establish. Anything improving survival means more hair from the same procedure.
Beyond survival, transplanted hair quality matters. Thick, healthy growth versus thin, wispy output makes visible difference in your results.
Meanwhile, your native hair continues its battle with pattern baldness. The hair surrounding your transplant is still susceptible to thinning. Protecting it maintains the natural appearance of your result.

How PRP Enhances Transplant Results
PRP delivers growth factors that support transplanted follicles during their critical establishment period.
Improved graft survival. Growth factors promote healing and blood vessel formation around newly placed grafts. Better blood supply means better survival.
Enhanced hair quality. PRP stimulates follicles to produce thicker, stronger hair. Your transplanted hair grows in fuller.
Accelerated healing. The scalp heals faster with PRP, reducing the vulnerable period for grafts.
Native hair protection. PRP strengthens your existing hair, preventing ongoing thinning around your transplant.
Research supports these benefits. Studies show improved graft survival and hair density when PRP is used alongside hair transplant.
When to Use PRP With Transplant
Before transplant: Some surgeons recommend PRP before surgery to optimise scalp health and prepare the recipient area.
During transplant: PRP can be applied to grafts during the procedure or to the scalp immediately after placement.
After transplant: Post-operative PRP sessions during the healing and growth phase support graft establishment and stimulate growth.
Timing and protocol vary. We can coordinate with your transplant surgeon or advise based on where you are in your journey.

Protecting Your Native Hair
Transplanted follicles come from areas resistant to pattern baldness. They will not thin or fall out from DHT.
But the hair you did not transplant remains vulnerable. As native hair thins around your transplant, the result looks increasingly unnatural. Thick transplanted hair surrounded by thinning native hair is not the goal.
PRP treats your entire scalp, supporting both transplanted and native hair. Combined with Nutrafol for internal support and appropriate medical therapy, you protect your complete result.
This comprehensive approach is why many transplant surgeons now recommend PRP as standard aftercare.
What Treatment Involves
Post-transplant PRP follows standard protocol. Blood draw, processing, and injection across the scalp.
Timing relative to surgery is important. We typically wait until initial healing is complete, usually two to four weeks post-transplant, then begin a series of treatments.
A typical post-transplant protocol involves three to four PRP sessions spaced four to six weeks apart during the first year, then maintenance treatments ongoing.
Treatment is gentle on healing scalp. We adjust technique appropriately for post-surgical tissue.
If You Have Not Had Transplant Yet
Considering transplant? We recommend consultation before surgery. Understanding how PRP fits into your overall hair restoration plan helps you make informed decisions.
Some patients are better candidates for PRP alone. Others benefit most from transplant plus PRP. Some need medical therapy as foundation before either.
We can assess your hair loss and advise on optimal approach, whether that includes transplant or not.
Frequently Asked Questions
When can I start PRP after my transplant? Typically two to four weeks post-surgery, once initial healing is complete. Your surgeon may have specific recommendations.
Will PRP interfere with graft survival? No. PRP supports graft survival. It does not interfere with the transplant process.
How many PRP sessions do I need after transplant? Usually three to four sessions in the first year, then ongoing maintenance. Protocol can be adjusted based on your response.
I had my transplant years ago. Is PRP still helpful? Yes. PRP supports existing hair including old transplants and protects native hair from ongoing thinning.
My transplant results were disappointing. Can PRP help? PRP may improve hair quality but cannot resurrect failed grafts. Assessment determines what is possible.
Should I use Nutrafol alongside PRP after transplant? Yes. Internal support complements external treatment. Many transplant patients benefit from comprehensive approach.
You invested in your transplant. Protect that investment.
