SCALP & HAIR

Follicles awakened
“from your own blood”

Hair doesn't fall out "suddenly" — it weakens first. With each cycle, the follicle produces a thinner, shorter, less pigmented hair, until it eventually stops pushing it out at all.

This process — follicle miniaturisation — is behind the most common type of hair loss: male and female pattern baldness. Scalp PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is an attempt to reverse this direction using your body's own resources: from a small amount of your blood, we prepare a plasma fraction exceptionally rich in platelets — and, with them, in growth factors, natural signalling molecules that the follicle reads as a "signal to work". We deliver them through micro-injections exactly where they're needed most. This isn't a miracle cure for baldness, and we don't promise new hair where follicles have already gone dormant for good — PRP supports the ones still fighting, ideally after a proper diagnosis and as part of a series. At J'adore Instytut, the treatment is performed by a trichologist or experienced cosmetologist. Below you'll find everything worth knowing before your first visit.

How it works

How it works

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. We draw a small amount of your blood, then separate out a plasma fraction that's particularly concentrated in platelets. Platelets aren't only about clotting — they're a storehouse of growth factors, proteins the body uses every day to drive healing and tissue regeneration.

Delivered by micro-injection into the scalp, these growth factors reach the follicles directly and are read as a signal to work: they stimulate the follicle, extend the hair's growth phase (anagen) and reduce its miniaturisation — the gradual "thinning" of the hair that precedes shedding. Our first line of use for PRP is male and female pattern baldness, though it also works well for telogen effluvium (for example after stress, childbirth, or a restrictive diet).

The key point: the material comes entirely from you. We introduce no foreign substance, so there's no risk of an allergic reaction to the preparation itself. It's the same method we use on the face — if that rings a bell from skin rejuvenation, you're right; we cover it in more detail in our facial PRP treatment.

Three layers of the scalp in cross-section: the epidermis at the surface, the dermis with the hair follicles set into it beneath, and deepest of all the subcutaneous tissue. The needle stops at the level of the follicles, where plasma from your own blood spreads in fine droplets. The specialist sets the delivery depth during the consultation.

Ideal for

Ideal for

  1. Female or male pattern baldnessthinning at the crown and along the parting (in women) or a receding hairline and crown thinning (in men). This is the main indication.
  2. Telogen effluviumdiffuse, intensified hair loss after stress, childbirth, illness, sudden dieting or seasonal changes.
  3. Weakened, thin hairwhen hair is getting finer, softer and slower to regrow, even without visible bald patches yet.
  4. Support after diagnosiswhen a trichologist or dermatologist has identified the cause and PRP is meant to complement a home-care plan or general treatment.
  5. Prevention for those with a family historywhen early baldness runs in the family and you want to act on the first signs.
  6. What PRP won't do: it won't "revive" follicles that have completely shut down (smooth, shiny skin with no visible follicles), and it won't replace a hair transplant in advanced baldness. We always establish the realistic scope of results during a consultation with trichoscopy.

Women's zone and men's zone

What's different

For her

Women and hair loss — why your story looks different

In women, hair loss is most often diffuse: hair thins across the whole scalp, and the parting gradually widens — distinct "bald patches" rarely appear. Telogen effluvium is also common (after childbirth, stress, dieting, or during perimenopause). Scalp PRP for women targets density and improved hair condition, ideally as a series and after ruling out general causes (deficiencies, thyroid, hormones).

The areas we support

  1. thinning at the crown and a widening parting;
  2. telogen effluvium after childbirth, stress or dieting;
  3. increasingly thin hair, scalp showing through when hair is tied up;
  4. support for hair condition after a period of intense seasonal shedding.
For him

Male pattern baldness — what it means and when PRP makes sense

In men, classic male pattern baldness dominates: a receding hairline, crown thinning, a characteristic pattern. This is scalp PRP for men — most effective when follicles are still active rather than fully dormant. We often combine it with general treatment (a doctor decides this), because the treatment alone rarely "catches up with" a strong hormonal component.

The areas we support

  1. a receding hairline and crown thinning;
  2. the early stage of pattern baldness — the best moment to start;
  3. maintaining the effects of general treatment between cycles;
  4. zero downtime — you can go about your day with no visible signs on your hair.

Interesting fact: the same growth factors that "wake up" hair follicles here are used by the body every day to heal wounds. PRP actually originated outside aesthetics — in orthopaedics and sports medicine, where plasma supports the regeneration of tendons and joints. The scalp is simply another place where this natural regenerative signal comes in useful.

Safety

What really determines the result

PRP is safe precisely because it works with your own material — but "safe" doesn't mean "indifferent to who performs it and how". Several things determine the result and your comfort, and they're worth asking about at any salon:

  1. Diagnosis before the series

    Not all hair loss is equal — telogen loss after stress, pattern baldness and deficiencies all call for a different approach. That's why we start with trichoscopy and a consultation, not a needle. Without it, we'd be guessing.

  2. A sterile, single-use kit for drawing and preparing plasma

    Blood and plasma are biological material — full sterility and single-use equipment are an absolute must.

  3. Who performs the treatment, and whether they set honest boundaries

    A good specialist is more likely to say "this is support, not a miracle" and refer you to a dermatologist than to promise miraculous regrowth. If you hear a guarantee of "getting your hair back", treat it as a warning sign.

Red flag: "guaranteed hair regrowth" · No honest treatment can guarantee "full hair recovery" — especially once follicles have gone dormant. A promise made without prior trichoscopy, pressure to buy an expensive package "upfront", or dismissing sudden, severe hair loss (which can be a symptom of illness) are all reasons to pause and seek a proper diagnosis. You have the right to ask about the realistic scope of results in your case — a good salon will answer honestly, even when the answer is "PRP alone won't be enough here".

SCALP & HAIR

What to expect during your visit

  1. Consultation and trichoscopywe assess the scalp and follicles under magnification, take a history (since when, how fast, family history, medication, test results) and determine whether PRP is a good choice, and what series would work.
  2. Blood drawjust like a standard blood test: a small amount from a vein in the crook of the elbow. This is the only "medical" moment in the treatment.
  3. Plasma preparationthe blood goes into a centrifuge, which separates out the platelet-rich fraction. You wait a short while for the plasma to be ready.
  4. Micro-injections into the scalpusing a very fine needle, we deliver the plasma around the follicles, into the thinning areas. Each injection takes a fraction of a second; we select topical anaesthesia for comfort on an individual basis.
  5. Guidance and departureno bandages, usually just mild redness. We schedule your next visits in advance, because PRP works as a series.

Contraindications

When to postpone the treatment

Because PRP breaks the skin (blood draw and micro-injections), some contraindications are permanent, while others are temporary — in that case, we simply postpone the treatment until the situation passes.

We don't perform it
  • Active herpes (cold sores)even at a site other than the treatment area (for example, on the lips); we postpone until it heals.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Clotting disorders and anticoagulant medicationneed to be discussed; they affect plasma quality and the risk of bruising.
  • Cancerespecially during treatment; we postpone PRP and decide after consultation with your treating doctor.
  • Active inflammation or scalp infectionpustular lesions, weeping skin, significant inflammation; these need to heal first.
  • Recent sun tanon the scalp or exposed areas — we wait until the irritation subsides.
  • Fever and general infectionwe postpone until you've recovered.
  • Blood disorders and certain chronic conditionsneed individual assessment before the series.

From the trichologist's chair

The most commonly dismissed issue is a cold sore — "I've only got one on my lip, and the treatment's on my scalp, so it shouldn't matter." It matters: an active virus is a risk regardless of location, so it's better to postpone by a few days. Another point: if hair loss appeared suddenly and severely, we look for the cause with a doctor first — PRP isn't the answer to every type of hair loss.

This isn't a full list — we'll go through your medication, health conditions, test results and previous treatments individually during a consultation with trichoscopy.

What to expect

No surprises

Most importantly: you won't see results "after just one session". Growth factors act on the follicle slowly, and hair grows over months — this is a marathon, not a sprint. The first thing that usually changes is less hair shedding (on the brush, in the drain, on the pillow), with density subtly increasing only later.

  1. Faza 1.first daysscalp redness fades; you go back to your day with no visible signs
  2. Faza 2.following weeksyou often notice less hair shedding — a first sign the follicles are responding
  3. Faza 3.after the seriesgradual density increase and improved hair quality — the effect builds over months
  4. Faza 4.later onmaintenance sessions sustain the result; without them, the effect fades over time
The most common disappointment comes from expecting "hair after a month". I explain it like this: we don't plant new hair — we hold back the queue of hair about to fall out and strengthen those that remain. So the first real proof it's working is less hair on the comb, not a new hairstyle. Patience and sticking to the series do half the work here.
From the trichologist's chair

What's normal right after the treatment

  • redness and mild tenderness of the scalp at the injection sites — usually fading within a few to several hours;
  • sometimes a feeling of tightness or slight swelling at the crown on the first day;
  • occasionally a small bruise at the blood draw site on the arm — fading within a few days.

PRP supports, but it doesn't stop the underlying cause — if a strong hormonal component drives the hair loss (pattern baldness), the effect lasts only as long as we keep up maintenance, and it often works best combined with general treatment overseen by a doctor.

PRP and your lifestyle

What you can and can't do, and when

After the treatment, it's all about one thing: not irritating the freshly treated scalp, and not intensifying redness on the first day. The rules are simple and short-lived.

  1. Washing your hair

    wait until the next day

    Don't wash your hair the same day — let the skin heal over. From the next day, wash gently with lukewarm water, without vigorous massaging or scrubbing with your nails.

  2. Exercise and sweating

    hold off ~24 hours

    Intense exertion and heavy sweating right after the treatment irritate the skin and intensify redness. Ease back into the gym after a day.

  3. Sauna, swimming pool, hot bath

    a few days' break

    High temperatures, chlorine and communal bathing risk irritating and infecting fresh injection sites. We hold off on the sauna, pool and hammam for a few days.

  4. Sun on the scalp

    cover up for a few days

    Protect freshly treated partings and exposed areas from strong sun — a hat or SPF on the scalp for the first few days.

  5. Colouring and chemical styling

    push back by ~a week

    Colouring, perming or strong styling products on freshly treated skin is an unnecessary risk. Plan them in advance, or a few days after the treatment.

  6. Blood-thinning medication and alcohol

    discuss beforehand / avoid for 24 hours

    Discuss anticoagulant medication during consultation (it encourages bruising and affects the treatment). Avoid alcohol the day before and after — it dilates blood vessels and intensifies bruising.

Frequently asked questions

  1. QuestionWill PRP make new hair grow?
    AnswerPRP primarily strengthens and sustains the follicles that are still working, and slows their miniaturisation — the first thing you often notice is less hair on the brush. We don't promise "new hair" where follicles have already gone dormant for good. We'll assess the realistic scope of results in your case during trichoscopy.
  2. QuestionWhen will I see results?
    AnswerThis is a process of months, not weeks. Hair loss usually decreases first, while density and hair quality build up gradually over the course of the series. A single "trial" session rarely gives a meaningful picture.
  3. QuestionHow many sessions do I need?
    AnswerPRP works through a series of several sessions at intervals, followed by a maintenance routine. We determine the exact structure after trichoscopy, since it depends on the type and stage of hair loss.
  4. QuestionDoes it hurt?
    AnswerThe blood draw itself is like a standard blood test, and the micro-injections into the scalp are a series of short pricks. For comfort, we can apply a topical anaesthetic — selected individually.
