Nowadays, there are many treatments available for people with hair loss. Some, like hair transplantation, aim for permanent hair restoration but are invasive.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive temporary solution for hair loss. It is a perfect choice for patients whose hair loss is in the early stages, as this is when it is most effective at promoting regrowth.

What is PRP Hair Treatment in Turkey?
PRP hair treatment in Turkey is used to treat hair thinning. It is suitable for men and women and, unlike many other hair loss procedures, is not a type of surgery.
The procedure involves injecting PRP, the platelet-rich plasma, into the patient’s scalp, which delivers nutrients to the hair follicles and results in the activation of the patient’s scalp microenvironment, such as skin cells and various proteins, like cytokines. The activated microenvironment stimulates the regeneration of follicles that have been damaged by dihydrotestosterone (DHT) – a hormone that causes pattern baldness in both men and women. The regenerated hair follicles can support new hair growth, leading to an up to 60% increase in hair density. The PRP procedure also accelerates hair growth.
The rejuvenation of hair becomes most visible a month after the procedure, as the hair becomes thicker and healthier. The use of PRP in haircare has only recently begun, but PRP injections have been used as a regenerative procedure in other fields of medicine for quite some time. These injections were used to successfully treat musculoskeletal issues with ligaments and tendons in many patients.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma?
Platelet-rich plasma is a blood phase collected from the patient. It has a high platelet concentration and contains healing proteins. It is made from the patient’s blood using a centrifuge, a device that can separate solid and liquid parts of a suspension. The doctors collect a small amount of the patient’s blood and centrifuge it for several minutes until the patient’s blood separates into three distinctive parts called phases. The bottom of the flask contains the phase that consists of erythrocytes. The other two phases above them are the platelet-poor phase and the platelet-rich phase.
The platelet-poor phase is at the very top of the flask, as it is less dense than the other phases. The doctors will discard the red blood cells and platelet-poor part of blood plasma, as they have no uses in hair recovery.

How Much Does PRP Hair Treatment Cost in Turkey?
PRP hair treatment cost in Turkey is much lower than in the West, and this procedure is less expensive than many other follicle restoration procedures. The cost of a single procedure at BookMedi is £100. There are multiple reasons why Turkish medical procedures are so inexpensive. The primary reason is the lower living costs in Turkey. It means that for visitors from countries with higher living costs, the prices for services of comparable quality in Turkey will be much lower than in their countries. As a result, procedures at BookMedi are both affordable and high-quality.
The PRP Hair Treatment Procedure in Turkey
When performing hair PRP in Turkey in BookMedi clinic, the process is as follows.
First, the doctor draws a small amount of the patient’s blood using a syringe and transfers it to the centrifuge’s flask for separation. As the blood is centrifuged, the doctor prepares the patient’s scalp for the procedure. The doctor may apply a local anaesthetic to make the procedure completely painless. After the blood separates into phases, the doctor isolates the platelet-rich part and transfers it to another syringe. It is then injected into the affected area of the scalp, with each injection taking about ten seconds. After all the PRP is injected, the treatment is completed. The patient doesn’t require any recovery period and doesn’t need to follow any after-procedure rules.
The follicles will achieve maximum hair growth after several months, though the patient will need to repeat the procedure once a month until the maximum growth is achieved.
Benefits of ACell + PRP Hair Regrowth Therapy
The ACell + PRP therapy is a combined procedure during which the doctors inject both platelet-rich plasma and ACell protein, which promotes the healing and regeneration of hair follicles and other tissues.
This combined therapy has several advantages over regular treatment:
- It lasts longer. The ACell+PRP is effective at reducing hair loss for about a year.
- The patient needs only a single procedure for maximum results. Regular PRP becomes most effective after three or four sessions spread over a period of several months.
- Since only one procedure is required for full effect, it is more cost-effective, even though a single combined injection costs slightly more.
Who is a Good Candidate for PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP hair loss treatment is a non-invasive solution for baldness that uses the patient’s blood for an injection. Because of this, the chances of getting side effects or complications after the procedure are minimal. People of any age can get this hair loss treatment safely.
The only candidates who are not suitable for the procedure are those with serious blood diseases, cancer and other life-threatening conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
To achieve the full effect of this hair loss treatment, the patient will need several sessions over a period of several months. The doctors recommend the patients have a session every month, to begin with. When the treatment achieves full effect, the patient should have a session once in a while for maintenance.
If combined with the ACell protein, maximum regrowth can be achieved after a single session. This combined therapy also lasts longer, requiring maintenance sessions once a year instead of each couple of months.
PRP procedure is nothing more than simple injections in the scalp and is more uncomfortable than painful. If the patient worries about pain, the doctor can apply local anaesthesia. The patient shouldn’t feel any pain after the procedure, either.
A hair transplant and a PRP treatment are fundamentally different procedures. A hair transplant is used to restore permanently lost hair by surgically transplanting healthy follicles to the area of hair loss. PRP procedure is used to strengthen and rejuvenate weakened follicles, improving the existing hair.
A hair transplant is also a permanent treatment, while maintaining the results of PRP requires repeated injection sessions.
PRP hair treatment is very safe. The doctors will inject a platelet-rich phase to assist hair growth. There is almost no chance of the patient getting an adverse reaction to their blood. The only common side effect of the procedure is a slight increase in hair shedding a few weeks after the treatment as the renewed hair follicles begin a new cycle of hair growth.
