In brief
What is PRP hair treatment?
In PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment, also known as autologous blood therapy, a concentrate of platelets is obtained from a small amount of your own blood. It is injected into the scalp with fine needles.
The platelets contain growth factors. In suitable patients, PRP can support existing hair growth, without surgery and without foreign substances. It does not create new hair follicles; for completely bald areas, a hair transplant is usually the more suitable option.

Results vary from person to person and depend, among other things, on the cause and stage of the hair loss, the existing hair follicles and the number of sessions. No specific result can be guaranteed.
Suitability
Who is PRP suitable for?
PRP is an option if there are still enough of your own hair follicles that can be strengthened. Whether it makes sense for you is something we clarify in the free hair analysis, and we tell you openly if another treatment is a better fit.
What we check first
- Cause of the hair loss
- Pattern and course
- Condition of the scalp
- Existing hair follicles
- Age
- Your expectations
PRP may be an option for
- Thinning hair without bald patches
- Mild or diffuse hair loss
- Women with a widening parting
- Younger people for whom a transplant is still too early
- Support before and after a hair transplant
A hair transplant is more likely for
- Bald patches, e.g. receding temples or the crown
- Advanced hair loss
- A receding hairline
With hormonal or other medical causes, for example PCOS or a thyroid disorder, a medical assessment comes first. We discuss with you which route makes sense.
More about hair transplantsCheck free of charge whether PRP suits you
We examine your scalp and hair follicles with a trichoscope during the consultation.
How it works
How PRP works, and what you can expect
Growth factors from the platelets are intended to stimulate the hair follicles. Studies on hereditary hair loss show, on average, an increase in hair density after several treatments. How strong the effect is varies from person to person.
Works over several sessions
In suitable patients, first changes often become visible after about 6 to 8 weeks. The effect builds up over several sessions.
Needs top-up sessions
The effect does not last permanently. Depending on the course, top-up sessions at longer intervals can help to maintain the result.
Does not replace a transplant
PRP does not create new hair follicles. Where hair no longer grows, a hair transplant is the more suitable option.
We document your progress with photos and the hair scan from the hair analysis, so you can see what is changing.
Procedure
How a session works
A session takes about 30 minutes, from the blood sample to the treatment. Afterwards you can usually return straight to your daily routine.
Before
Well prepared
Drink enough in the days before the treatment and eat fairly low-fat food. This improves the quality of the blood plasma.
Step 1
Blood sample
Our medical practice assistant takes 10 to 20 millilitres of blood.
Step 2
Processing
In the centrifuge, the platelets are separated from the red blood cells and prepared for the treatment.
Step 3
Treatment
The doctor injects the plasma into the affected areas of the scalp with fine needles.
Afterwards
Next session
The next session usually follows after 4 to 6 weeks. At each appointment we check your progress.

PRP appointment
Book your PRP treatment directly
Choose the clinic, day and time, and we will confirm your appointment personally.
Where would you like your consultation?
Plainly said
Side effects and when we advise against it
Because your own blood is used, allergic reactions to the plasma are very unlikely. As with any injection, however, there are side effects, which we explain to you beforehand.
Tightness and a feeling of pressure
Possible during and shortly after the treatment. It usually subsides within hours.
Redness and slight swelling
Common at the injection sites, usually only for a short time.
Small bruises
Occasionally possible; they disappear after a few days.
When we advise against it
For example with blood clotting disorders, certain blood thinners or acute infections. We clarify this before the first session.

Cost, procedure, effect and side effects – answered briefly.
How much does PRP hair treatment cost?
One session costs CHF 550.–, 4 sessions CHF 2’000.– and 8 sessions CHF 3’500.–.
You can pay for the packages interest-free in instalments from CHF 80.– per month. The hair analysis before the first session is free.
How many sessions do I need?
We usually recommend at least four PRP sessions 4 to 6 weeks apart.
With more pronounced hair loss, 8 sessions can make sense. We set your personal plan after the hair analysis, depending on the cause and severity of the hair loss, the condition of the hair follicles and scalp, and your goal.
When will I see the first results?
In suitable patients, first changes often become visible after about 6 to 8 weeks.
The effect builds up over several sessions. How quickly and how clearly varies from person to person.
How long does a session take?
About 30 minutes, from the blood sample to the treatment.
Afterwards you can usually return straight to your daily routine.
Is the treatment painful?
Most people find the injections easy to tolerate.
A feeling of tightness or pressure during and shortly after the treatment is possible. We discuss beforehand how we can make the treatment comfortable for you.
How long does the effect last?
Usually several months to about a year.
The effect does not last permanently. Depending on the course, top-up sessions at longer intervals can help to maintain the result.
Does PRP also help women?
Yes. PRP is used in women and men, for example with a widening parting.
In women, we first clarify the cause of the hair loss. With hormonal or other medical causes, a medical assessment is important.
Can PRP replace a hair transplant?
No. PRP can support existing hair follicles but does not create new ones.
For completely bald areas, a hair transplant is usually the more suitable option. The two can be combined: PRP can be used alongside a transplant and can support the regeneration of the scalp and existing hair growth.
What are the side effects?
Usually only mild and short-lived: redness, slight swelling or a feeling of tightness at the injection sites.
Occasionally, small bruises appear and disappear after a few days. Because your own blood is used, allergic reactions to the plasma are very unlikely.
Who performs the treatment?
The injections are given by Swiss Hair Life doctors.
Our medical practice assistants take the blood sample and process it in the centrifuge, directly before the treatment.
