What is PRP?
Stimulation with your own blood
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. A PRP treatment uses your own blood to activate follicles and skin cells naturally, without chemicals or additives.
PRP treatment for hair · Gothenburg
Stimulate the follicles and strengthen hair growth with PRP
PRP treatment for hair in Gothenburg uses your own blood plasma, rich in growth factors, to activate resting follicles and strengthen existing hair growth, whether you have shed more hair than usual or want to counteract hair loss early.
How does PRP work?
From blood sample to active plasma
First we take a small blood sample. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge that separates the plasma from the rest of the blood. The plasma contains platelets that carry growth factors. This concentrated plasma is injected into the scalp, beard or brows.
Why it works
Growth factors strengthen the follicles
When PRP is injected into the scalp the platelets start to work and release their growth signals. This activates blood circulation around the follicles and strengthens their ability to produce new hair.

Growth factors bring the follicles to life
Why it works
When PRP is injected into the scalp, concentrated growth factors are released that signal the follicles to activate their growth phase. New blood vessels form around each follicle, which ensures better nutrient supply and oxygenation.
The result: hair strands that live longer, grow thicker and shed less. For those with hereditary hair loss, PRP can delay the progression by several years. For hair transplant patients, PRP improves healing and the density of the result.

The science behind PRP
The growth factors that wake the follicles
PRP is not a chemical product, it is the body’s own signalling molecules concentrated in the right place. Here is the hair cycle and the five most important growth factors that work in your scalp after a treatment.
The hair cycle
Hair grows in three phases that repeat throughout life
Growth phase
anagen phaseThe hair strand grows actively for several years.
Resting phase
telogen phaseThe follicle takes a pause but remains in place.
Shedding phase
catagen phaseThe hair strand loosens and is replaced by a new one.
The problem appears when too many follicles enter the resting phase at the same time, or when they become too weak to start a new cycle. The hair then thins over time.
The five most important growth factors
Five signalling molecules that work in your scalp
PDGF, the repairer
Builds up the tissue around the follicle and strengthens its anchoring.
VEGF, the oxygen supplier
Helps the body form more small blood vessels so the follicles get better access to oxygen and nutrients.
IGF-1, the growth extender
Keeps the follicles active longer in the growth phase, which contributes to denser hair.
EGF, the skin’s builder
Improves the environment in the skin around the follicle so it can function without irritation.
TGF-β, the balance
Ensures that growth happens at the right pace and that the skin recovers after the treatment.
In short: PRP places the body’s own signalling molecules exactly where they do the most good, right next to the follicles.
Factors that affect the result
- How many active follicles you still have
- How long the hair loss has been ongoing
- Heredity and hormonal factors
- Lifestyle such as nutrition, stress and sleep
We assess this at the consultation and set a realistic plan.
The research for PRP
- Studies show that PRP can increase hair density and strand diameter where follicles remain
- Improvement is often noticed after 3-6 months
- Follow-up and maintenance are needed to preserve the effect
- We update our methods continuously and adapt the protocol to your situation
Growth cells, the follicle’s engine
What growth cells are and their role in hair growth
Every hair strand grows from a follicle beneath the skin. Inside it are two types of cells that work together:
Dermal papilla cells
Control the follicle and signal when it should grow or rest.
Matrix cells
Build the hair strand itself from keratin, the hair’s most important protein.
Together they are called growth cells. Their only job is to make the hair grow. Think of the follicle as a lamp with a switch. It can be off (resting phase) or on (growth phase). The growth factors in PRP press the switch: they signal the follicle to move from rest to production. At the same time more small blood vessels form around it, providing oxygen and nutrients so the hair can keep growing.
Three states that determine whether PRP can help
The difference between a resting, weakened and lost follicle
Resting follicle
The follicle’s cells are alive but have paused growth. Common with stress, hormonal changes or nutritional deficiency. PRP can often wake these.
Weakened follicle
The cells still work, but the hair that grows becomes thinner. Typical with hereditary hair loss (DHT sensitivity). PRP can strengthen the follicle and slow the decline.
Lost follicle
Follicles that have been inactive for a long time can shrink and disappear completely, for example after scarring or long untreated hair loss. Here PRP does not help, as no living cells remain. Then a hair transplant is needed instead.
Read about hair transplantationHow to know if PRP suits you
Is PRP right for you?
PRP works best when the hair has become thinner over time and the strands have lost strength, but the follicles remain. You may benefit from PRP if you:
Still have hair in the area you want to treat
Want to slow hair loss and keep what you have
Prefer a natural method over medication or surgery
Already tried products?
Most hair-loss products work on the surface. PRP works where the hair begins, down at the follicle: no chemistry, no pills or serums, just your own growth factors directed where they are needed. At a free consultation we look at your hair and make a plan that suits you.
Honest about time
What your PRP journey looks like
PRP is not a quick fix. Here is how it usually looks, step by step, so you know what to expect.
01
Initial course
3 to 4 treatments with 4 to 6 weeks in between.
02
After 4 to 6 weeks
Hair loss starts to ease. Often the first thing you notice.
03
At 3 to 4 months
New, thin strands and a denser feel in the treated area.
04
After about 6 months
Final result of the initial course. Then maintenance roughly every 6 months.
How PRP and hair transplantation work together
PRP and hair transplantation complement each other
They solve different things and often work best together.
PRP
Strengthens what you have
PRP strengthens and preserves the follicles you still have, with the body’s own growth factors.
Hair transplant
Fills where hair has disappeared
A hair transplant moves new, living follicles to areas where the hair has disappeared completely.
Best together
PRP before and after a transplant supports healing, which is why four PRP treatments are included in all our hair transplants.

PRP FOR MALE HAIR LOSS
Strengthen the follicles and slow hair loss with PRP
Have you noticed receding temples, a hairline that has moved back or a crown that has become sparser? Male hair loss affects 80% of men during their lifetime and often starts as early as the mid-20s.
With PRP we strengthen the environment around the follicles with growth factors from your own blood. This slows hair loss, wakes resting follicles and strengthens existing hair. A natural method that works both on its own and as a complement to a hair transplant.
PRP FOR FEMALE HAIR LOSS
Stimulate the follicles and increase hair density with PRP
Have you noticed the hair becoming thinner or that your parting shows more than before? Many women experience changes in their hair during different stages of life, postpartum, menopause or alongside hormonal changes.
With PRP we strengthen the environment around the follicles with growth factors from your own blood. More strands can grow and the hair can regain volume and density where it has thinned.
PRP for beard growth
Get a denser and more even beard
PRP with your own growth factors activates passive follicles and strengthens the active ones, for a fuller beard where it was previously sparse.
Growth factors activate passive follicles
PRP contains growth factors that can prompt follicles in the skin to start producing hair again.
Active follicles produce stronger strands
Follicles that are already active get support to create more robust hair strands, making the beard more resilient.
Small blood vessels supply the beard with nutrients
PRP encourages more small blood vessels to form around the follicles. This means oxygen and nutrients reach them more easily, strengthening growth.
The result is a fuller and more even beard
The beard gains more strands and grows more evenly, even in areas that were previously sparse.
Questions & answers about PRP for beards
Common questions about PRP for beards
How does PRP work for the beard?
PRP adds growth factors that make the follicles in the beard area work more actively. When more follicles produce hair at the same time, the beard becomes denser and more even.
When do you see results in the beard?
Many see a gradual improvement after three to six months with repeated treatments. How fast it goes depends on how active the follicles are.
Does PRP suit all beard types?
The treatment works best if you still have follicles but uneven coverage. PRP cannot create new follicles where they are entirely missing, but it strengthens the existing ones.
Is PRP for the beard safe?
Yes. Just like in the scalp, PRP is based on the body’s own material. You may be a little red or tender afterwards, but it passes quickly.
PRP for eyebrows
Questions & answers about PRP for eyebrows
The growth factors in PRP activate passive follicles in the brows, for denser strands, more defined shape and a natural result without chemicals.
How does PRP work for eyebrows?
The growth factors in PRP stimulate the follicles in the brows to start producing hair again. This can result in denser, stronger strands and a more defined shape.
When do you see results?
Most people see a gradual improvement after three to four treatments. The follicles need time to respond, so the result builds up over time.
Is PRP safe for eyebrows?
Yes. Because PRP uses your own blood there is no risk of allergy or rejection. We also use milder doses around the sensitive eye area.
How many treatments are needed?
A series of three to four treatments usually gives a noticeable difference. After that, maintenance once a year is enough to preserve the result.
How PRP compares to cosmetic brow treatments
- PRP is a safe alternative to microblading. Microblading deposits pigment in the skin that fades in 1-3 years and can cause scarring. PRP activates your own hair growth so the brows become denser with living follicles, entirely without chemicals.
- PRP differs from cosmetic brow treatments. Tinting, lamination and henna temporarily change the appearance of the hair you already have. PRP works at follicle level to create more hair and improve density over time.
01What is PRP treatment for hair?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is taken from your own blood, centrifuged and injected into the scalp. The concentrated growth factors stimulate the follicles, slow hair loss and strengthen hair growth.
02How many treatments are needed?
We recommend an initial course of 3-4 treatments with 4-6 weeks in between. Maintenance treatments every 6 months keep the result.
03Is PRP painful?
We apply a numbing cream to the treatment area. Most people experience only mild discomfort, similar to a mosquito bite.
04When is the result visible?
Reduced hair loss is usually noticed after 4-6 weeks. New growth and denser hair show at 3-4 months. The final result is reached after the completed initial course (around 6 months).
05What does PRP for hair cost?
Hair Standard 4,300 SEK, Hair XL (extended area) 4,800 SEK, Hair Mini (smaller area or after a hair transplant) 2,500 SEK. Fixed price at booking, no hidden fees.
06Is PRP included in the hair transplant?
Yes, four PRP treatments are automatically included in all our hair transplants as part of the aftercare for optimal healing and growth.
07Are there side effects?
Since PRP comes from your own blood the risk of allergic reactions is essentially zero. Mild redness and swelling for 1-2 days is normal.
08Who is PRP suitable for?
PRP works best for early to moderate hair loss where the follicles are still active. For more advanced hair loss we recommend combining it with a hair transplant.
09Is PRP better than supplements or hair products?
They work at different levels. Supplements work from within and products on the skin’s surface, while PRP goes directly to the follicle where the hair grows. PRP does not replace good nutrition or healthy habits, but gives the follicles extra support when they need it. At a consultation we see whether PRP is right for you, or whether something else should be looked into first.
10Is it normal to lose hair after pregnancy?
Yes. After childbirth oestrogen drops quickly, and many hairs that were resting shed at the same time. This is called postpartum hair loss and is temporary. For most people the hair grows back within six to twelve months. If the thinning persists longer, PRP can help the follicles return to their normal rhythm.
