PRP Hair Loss Treatment With Dr. Alexander
At Toronto Hair Transplant Surgeons (THTS), we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy — a scientifically backed, non-surgical approach that uses your body’s own growth factors to stimulate hair follicles, improve hair density, and support long-term scalp health.
Unlike topical solutions or oral medications, PRP therapy works beneath the surface, enhancing the environment around each follicle to encourage thicker, stronger, and healthier hair. This treatment can be performed as a standalone procedure or in combination with surgical hair restoration for enhanced results.
All hair consultations and treatments — both surgical and non-surgical — are performed exclusively through Toronto Hair Transplant Surgeons. Learn more at torontohairtransplant.com.
What Is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated portion of your own blood that contains platelets and plasma — two elements rich in regenerative growth factors. These growth factors are responsible for tissue repair, collagen stimulation, and blood vessel formation, all of which can reactivate dormant hair follicles and promote thicker, more resilient hair.
At THTS, we use the Eclipse PRP® system, one of the most advanced and efficient systems available today. This technology produces a highly purified, platelet-rich plasma by effectively eliminating unwanted red and white blood cells, resulting in a concentrated PRP solution that delivers optimal growth potential.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP hair restoration is suitable for both men and women experiencing early- to moderate-stage hair thinning or as a complementary therapy following hair transplant surgery. Ideal candidates include:
- Patients seeking to enhance density and fullness without surgery
- Those who have undergone a hair transplant and wish to “fertilize” transplanted grafts for improved growth and healing
- Patients wanting to stimulate new hair growth in non-transplanted areas
- Individuals combining PRP with other medical hair loss therapies
- Anyone interested in non-surgical, evidence-based treatment for hair rejuvenation
Because PRP uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection — making it one of the safest regenerative options for hair loss available today.
How PRP Hair Restoration Works
Your treatment begins with a small blood draw, similar to a routine lab test. The blood is then placed into the Eclipse centrifuge, where it is spun at high speed to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components.
Once prepared, the PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp using fine needles. The growth factors within PRP go to work immediately — stimulating follicle activity, improving circulation, and strengthening the existing hair growth cycle.
For surgical patients, a PRP soak can also be used during hair transplantation, helping grafts heal faster, reducing redness, and minimizing temporary “shock loss.”
Treatment Plan and Results
PRP hair restoration is typically performed in two phases: induction and maintenance.
- Induction Phase: 4 monthly treatments (one session every 4 weeks)
- Maintenance Phase: A 5th treatment after 6 months, followed by maintenance sessions every 6 months thereafter
Each session takes about 30–45 minutes, and there’s no downtime — you can return to work or social activities the same day.
Most patients begin noticing thicker, stronger hair within 4–6 months, with continued improvement over time as the follicles become healthier and more active.
Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration
Undergoing PRP hair restoration with the Eclipse PRP system can offer all of the following benefits:
- Stimulates dormant or weak hair follicles
- Increases hair thickness and density
- Strengthens hair growth cycles
- Improves scalp circulation and overall follicle health
- No downtime, no foreign substances, and no allergic reactions
- Can enhance results of hair transplant surgery

Start NowSafety and Side Effects
Since PRP uses your own blood, the risk of complications is minimal. You may experience slight redness, tenderness, or mild swelling at the injection sites, but these effects typically resolve within hours. PRP is chemical-free, non-surgical, and biocompatible, making it an exceptionally safe treatment for both men and women.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I wash or style my hair before and after a PRP session?
We recommend washing your hair on the morning of your treatment using a gentle, standard shampoo without applying any gels, sprays, or leave-in products. Following your PRP injections, you should avoid washing your hair or applying scalp products for at least 12 to 24 hours to allow the scalp micro-injections to seal completely and maximize growth factor absorption.
Can I combine PRP therapy with oral or topical hair loss medications like Finasteride or Minoxidil?
Yes. PRP operates via cellular growth factor pathways, whereas medications like Finasteride address DHT hormones and Minoxidil promotes vascular dilation. Combining PRP with prescribed medical therapies creates a synergistic effect, targeting hair loss from multiple biological angles. Dr. Alexander will review your medical history during your THTS consultation to create an integrated hair retention strategy.
Why does THTS utilize the Eclipse PRP® system over standard blood centrifuges?
Not all PRP is created equal. Standard lab centrifuges often leave behind red and white blood cells that can cause increased localized inflammation and lower the concentration of usable platelets. The specialized Eclipse PRP® system uses specialized gel-separator technology to isolate a highly purified, concentrated platelet yield with minimal cellular contaminants, delivering more potent growth factor activity to your hair follicles.
How does a "PRP graft soak" work during hair transplant surgery?
When combined with surgical hair restoration (FUE or FUT), extracted hair follicles are temporarily submerged in a specialized PRP solution while awaiting implantation. This keeps the delicate root grafts hydrated with vital nutrients and biological growth factors, increasing cellular survival rates post-implantation, accelerating scalp healing, and reducing post-surgical "shock loss" of surrounding native hair.
How should I prepare my diet and hydration in the days leading up to my PRP appointment?
Because PRP is derived entirely from your blood plasma, proper hydration is key. We recommend drinking plenty of water for 48 hours prior to your visit to help ensure an optimal blood draw volume and high-quality plasma yield. It is also advised to avoid anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or high-dose fish oil supplements) for several days beforehand, as these can temporarily interfere with natural platelet signaling and growth factor release.
