PRP hair treatment in Mainz: Options after investigating the cause

What causes can hair loss have?

A gradually thinning part, increased shedding after illness and isolated bald patches may have different explanations. The visible pattern alone does not establish a diagnosis.

Why is medical examination important?

Onset, progression, associated symptoms, previous treatments and medicines help assess hair loss. Examination considers the hair and skin. Further tests or specialist assessment may be needed depending on the suspected cause.

Investigating the cause is distinct from a PRP session. It may also establish that another treatment takes priority. The online guide cannot determine the diagnostics needed in an individual case.

What is PRP and how is it generally prepared?

PRP is plasma enriched with platelets from your own blood. Blood is taken and separated by centrifugation. During PRP hair treatment, the prepared fraction is injected into the scalp.

This describes the principle, not a standard treatment plan. Preparation and application vary between techniques. PRP does not move hair follicles and is therefore not a hair transplant.

When might PRP hair treatment be considered?

PRP is studied for androgenetic, or hereditary, hair loss among other conditions. Whether it may be considered for you depends on diagnosis, the hair situation, possible contraindications and available alternatives.

A positive study in one type of hair loss cannot be applied to every bald patch. PRP replaces neither investigation of the cause nor, automatically, treatment of an underlying condition.

How reliable is the evidence for PRP in hair loss?

Systematic reviews report indications of improved hair density, particularly in studies of androgenetic hair loss. A 2024 review rates certainty of the evidence as low because of substantial differences between studies and potential bias.

A broader 2025 review also finds positive results for hair density, but no clear benefit for hair thickness. It highlights differences in study design and PRP composition and the need for standardised research.

This means there are indications of benefit, but no reliable prediction of your personal result. Preparation, treatment schedules and measurement methods vary. No universal success rate or session plan suitable for everyone can be inferred.

What are its limitations and possible risks?

Not everyone benefits. PRP is not a general solution for areas without suitable follicles or every form of hair loss. Diagnosis remains central to the decision.

Injections may cause local pain. Treatment using your own blood still requires assessment of possible contraindications and hygienic practice. Benefits, risks and planned effort need personal discussion; “from your own body” does not automatically mean risk-free.

When should other treatments be discussed?

If a condition or another trigger explains hair loss, treating it takes priority. Depending on diagnosis, medicines, further specialist assessment or surgical planning may also be discussed. Mentioning these options is not a recommendation for a particular therapy.

Before deciding, the treatment goal, alternatives, planned appointments, costs and later assessment of progress should be clear. No flat PRP price or session plan is promised here. Contact the practice by phone or email to request an appointment.

If surgery is discussed, the page on hair transplantation and its requirements explains the different approach.

The cost overview for PRP and other treatments distinguishes individual quotes from scalp hair pricing.
