PRP Hair Treatment
in Dubai
Find the cause first, then decide on treatment. Hair thinning has many causes, and PRP is only suited to some of them. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A small sample of your own blood is processed to concentrate platelets, and the plasma is then injected into the scalp. Dr Fouzia is a consultant family physician who offers a doctor-led PRP hair consultation in Dubai. She starts by working out why your hair is thinning, explains what is known about PRP and its limits and helps you decide whether it makes sense for you.
What may be considered.
Why the cause matters.
Hair loss can follow illness, stress, childbirth, crash dieting, thyroid problems, low iron or other deficiencies, hormone changes, medicines, scalp conditions or inherited patterns. PRP does not treat all of these. If a medical cause is found and treated, that may do more than any procedure.
How it works and what is known.
A small blood sample is taken and processed to concentrate the platelets. The plasma is injected in small amounts into areas of the scalp with thinning. Treatment is usually given as a course of sessions over several months, depending on the plan agreed with your clinician.
Studies suggest PRP may help some people with certain types of hair thinning, such as pattern hair loss, but results vary, study methods differ and there is no standard protocol. It is not a cure, and it may not work for everyone. Dr Fouzia will give you an honest view of what is known and unknown.
Where PRP fits.
PRP is one option among others. They may include treating an underlying condition, reviewing lifestyle and nutrition, and, where suitable, referral to a dermatologist or hair specialist. Blood tests may be considered when they would help assess likely causes.
What to expect at your visit.
The consultation covers your hair history, scalp, medical history, medicines, family history and goals. Your doctor reviews likely causes and discusses options, risks, costs and realistic outcomes before you decide.
Written consent before treatment
Blood draw, processing and scalp treatment if you choose to proceed
Aftercare advice and a follow-up review where agreed
When PRP may not be suitable.
Treatment is generally not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a blood disorder such as low platelets, take blood-thinning medicines, have an active scalp infection or inflammatory condition, have certain immune conditions or active cancer, or are unwell on the day. Please share your full health history.
Scalp tenderness, redness, swelling, headache and small bruises are common and usually settle within days. Less commonly, infection or scarring can occur. Your doctor will explain possible risks before you consent.
Your safety comes first.
See a doctor promptly for sudden patchy hair loss, a painful or scaly scalp, or hair loss with other symptoms such as fatigue, weight change or rash. Seek urgent care for spreading redness, pus, fever or severe pain after treatment. In the UAE, call 998 for an ambulance for emergencies. Contact the clinic for aftercare advice.
