You've heard about PRP hair treatments and its promising results. But what actually happens during a session? How does this revolutionary treatment unfold?
Let's find out together, step by step, what to expect during a PRP treatment at DC Clinic.
The Initial Consultation: Your Personalized Journey
Everything begins with a thorough hair eligibility consultation with one of our specialized nurses.
During this Consultation:
Scalp Examination: Our specialized nurse analyzes your scalp using a dermatoscope to assess:
Your current hair density
The diameter of your hair
The condition of your hair follicles
The most affected areas
Your Profile Analysis: We discuss your family history, lifestyle habits, and realistic expectations.
Eligibility Check: PRP has some contraindications that we systematically verify (diabetes, blood clotting issues, pregnancy, skin inflammations).
Personalized Protocol: Based on your situation, we determine the number of sessions needed and their optimal spacing.
This consultation lasts about 30 minutes and is the perfect time to ask all your questions.
The Day of Your Session: A Simple and Effective Process
Step 1: Blood Draw (the "much-dreaded" moment!)
A step many fear. But don't worry, you're in good hands. We've done over 948 draws in the past 5 months (indeed, we've had many patients and we hope you'll be the next one)!
Blood Volume: 10 to 20 ml of blood (equivalent to a standard blood test) Location: In the bend of the elbow Duration: 2 to 3 minutes max Feeling: A small prick, nothing more
Step 2: Centrifugation - Science in Action
While you relax, your blood goes through a remarkable transformation.
Process: Your blood tubes are placed in a medical centrifuge for 8 to 12 minutes
Natural Separation: Centrifugal force separates the components:
Red blood cells (heavier) at the bottom
White blood cells in the middle
Platelet-rich plasma on top
Concentration: We obtain a concentrate 3 to 5 times richer in platelets than in its natural state
Step 3: Micro-Injections - Precision and Comfort
Preparation: Your scalp is carefully disinfected
Light Anesthesia: Application of a local anesthetic cream for your optimal comfort
Injection Technique: Using ultra-fine needles, we inject the PRP:
Area by area, evenly
At the optimal depth to reach the follicles
With precise doses according to your protocol
Feeling: Light tingling, very tolerable
Duration: 10 to 15 minutes depending on the extent of the areas
Total Duration: 30 Minutes That Can Change Your Life
Total Time in the Clinic: 30 to 45 minutes
Preparation: 5 minutes
Draw and centrifugation: 15 minutes
Injections: 10-15 minutes
Post-treatment recommendations: 5 minutes
This is a non-surgical treatment perfect for a lunch break!
Immediately After the Session: What to Expect
The First Few Hours
Scalp Appearance: Your scalp will be slightly pink at injection points. This redness fades in 2 to 6 hours max.
Feelings: A slight tension or small itches may appear - it's normal and a sign that regeneration is starting.
Activities: You can resume your normal activities immediately. No heavy recovery!
The Next 24-48 Hours
Recommended Care:
Wait 24h before the first shampoo
Use a gentle shampoo
Avoid coloring and chemical treatments for 48h
Protect from direct sunlight
The Complete Protocol: Your Path to Regrowth
Number of Sessions

Maintenance: 1 to 2 sessions per year to maintain results
Timeline of Results
After 1 Session: Hair loss slows, hair appears shinier

Since hair has a 3 to 6-month cycle, patience is your ally (yes, there's no choice).
