PRP Hair Treatment in Riga — Supportive Therapy for Hair Density

What is PRP hair treatment?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma therapy, is based on your own blood. During the procedure, a small sample of blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma contains growth factors intended to stimulate the scalp and the tissue around the hair follicles.

The resulting plasma is injected into the scalp with a fine needle in areas of thinning. Because the procedure uses your own blood (autologous material), the risk of an allergic or rejection reaction is minimal.

How PRP may support hair density

The goal of PRP is to create a more favourable environment for the hair follicles. The growth factors in the plasma may support microcirculation and follicular activity, which in turn may help strengthen the hair and maintain density.

It is important to stress that the evidence for PRP is still developing and results are always individual. PRP is not a guaranteed cure for hair loss and does not replace a hair transplant in areas where follicles are already permanently lost. PRP makes the most sense as a supportive method, not as a stand-alone solution for established baldness.

Who may benefit from PRP?

PRP may be worth considering primarily in the following cases:

• Early thinning — when follicles are still active but hair is becoming finer;
• Post-transplant support — to support the recovery of transplanted and existing hair;
• General scalp health — as additional care alongside other elements of a treatment plan.

Determining suitability requires diagnosis of the causes of your hair loss. At the free consultation, a specialist assesses your scalp and advises whether PRP, a hair transplant, or a combination of both is most appropriate for you.

The procedure and a typical course of sessions

A single PRP session is relatively quick and performed on an outpatient basis. The procedure involves drawing a blood sample, separating the plasma in a centrifuge, and injecting the plasma into the scalp. Most patients can return to their normal day right afterwards.

PRP is usually delivered as a course of sessions: an initial series over several weeks, which may be followed by maintenance sessions. The exact number and frequency of sessions are individual and depend on the condition of your scalp and your goals — the specialist sets a precise plan at your consultation.

PRP combined with FUE or DHI

PRP is often combined with a hair transplant. With a transplant performed using the FUE method or the DHI method, PRP may support the healing environment of the transplanted follicles and the condition of existing hair during the recovery period.

This combined approach is part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Whether and when to combine PRP with your transplant is always decided individually at the consultation.

Safety and possible side effects

Because PRP uses your own blood (autologous), it has a favourable safety profile, and the risk of allergy or rejection is low. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed by a trained specialist.

Possible side effects are usually mild and transient: redness, slight swelling, tenderness or a small bruise at the injection site. These typically subside within a few days. The specialist gives you individual instructions and assesses beforehand whether PRP is suitable and safe for you.

PRP treatment price

The price of PRP depends on the number of sessions, the scope of the treatment plan and your individual needs. PRP is usually priced per session (from), and the total cost of a course depends on the number of recommended sessions.

The final price is set at the free consultation, once the specialist has assessed your scalp and drawn up a personal plan. If you are considering PRP together with a transplant, see also the hair transplant cost.
