PRP Therapy

PRP Therapy for Hair Loss in Cape Town

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a non-surgical, regenerative treatment designed to stimulate natural hair growth and strengthen thinning hair. At Hairsthetix Hair Restoration & Aesthetic Clinic in Cape Town, Dr. Taariq Dada uses advanced PRP techniques to activate dormant hair follicles, improve scalp health, and increase hair density. Ideal for early-stage hair thinning and male or female pattern hair loss, PRP harnesses your body’s own growth factors to promote healthier, thicker hair with minimal downtime.

What is PRP Therapy for Hair Loss?

PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the platelet-rich plasma into targeted areas of the scalp. Platelets contain powerful growth factors that stimulate dormant hair follicles, increase blood circulation, and improve hair thickness. This safe, minimally invasive treatment uses your body’s natural healing process to slow hair loss and promote regrowth.
