Treatment timeline

How a regenerative therapy progresses

Regenerative therapies work gradually. Hair follicles go through several growth cycles before the effect becomes visible – patience is part of the protocol.

Weeks 1-12

Treatment series

Several sessions a few weeks apart form the basis. Treatment is outpatient in our clinic, and you can return to your daily routine straight away.

Months 2-3

Less hair loss

Hair loss often decreases noticeably first. The scalp is better supplied and dormant follicles can become more active again.

Months 3-6

New growth

Fine new hairs become visible and existing hair grows stronger. Many patients notice more fullness and density.

From month 6

Maintenance

Regular refresher sessions help stabilise the result. We document progress with trichoscopy images.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Regenerative therapies work biologically and take time. These questions cover the most important points before your consultation.

Are there any risks or side effects associated with PRP treatment?

PRP treatments are generally safe because they use the patient’s own blood. However, mild side effects such as redness, slight swelling, or bruising at the injection sites may occasionally occur. You’ll be ready to go out in public just a few minutes after the treatment.

Can I resume my normal activities right away after PRP treatment?

Yes, you can usually resume your normal activities right after the treatment.

How does PRP treatment work for hair loss?

1. Blood draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, similar to a routine blood test. This is needed to separate the plasma from the platelets.

‍

2. Centrifugation: The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate its various components. This yields platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is rich in growth factors.

‍

3. Injection: The PRP is injected into the scalp in the areas where hair loss is occurring (it can also be injected into the skin in other areas). The growth factors in the PRP are intended to stimulate the hair follicles and promote hair growth. A course of 4–8 injections can promote hair growth more effectively than a single treatment.

How do I find a qualified doctor for PRP treatment?

Choosing an experienced doctor is crucial to the success of PRP treatment for hair loss. At Māra, we place a high priority on quality and select our doctors based on strict criteria. This ensures that you not only receive expert advice on PRP therapy but also comprehensive care for all aspects of hair loss.

How long do the results of PRP treatment last?

The results of PRP therapy can last for several years or longer if treatments are performed regularly. However, maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain the results over the long term.

How many sessions are usually required?

Typically, several sessions spaced a few weeks apart are required to achieve optimal results. The exact number of sessions depends on the patient’s individual situation. Furthermore, it is not only the PRP treatment that is important; MARA also offers a process in which the blood is enriched with all essential nutrients,

How much does PRP treatment cost?

The cost of PRP treatment varies depending on the number of sessions required. It is advisable to inquire about the exact cost before undergoing treatment.

Is PRP treatment covered by health insurance?

Generally, the cost of PRP treatment for hair loss is not covered by health insurance, as it is usually considered a cosmetic procedure. In certain cases, however, the treatment may be covered by health insurance.

Is there an age restriction for PRP treatment?

There is no strict age limit, but eligibility for PRP treatment depends on various factors that a doctor can assess. At MARA, we only perform PRP treatment on patients 18 years of age or older.

What are the benefits of PRP treatment for hair loss?

- Natural treatment: Because the patient’s own blood is used, the therapy is generally well tolerated and the risk of allergic reactions is low. This is always clarified carefully during the appointment with the physician.

- Stimulation of hair growth: Autologous blood therapy can stimulate hair growth and improve hair density. The treatment is administered by a doctor.

- Improved hair quality: PRP can help make hair thicker, stronger and healthier.

- Minimally invasive: The treatment is minimally invasive and does not require surgery. It can be carried out simply at our practice in Zurich without a major procedure.

What can patients expect after PRP treatment?

After the treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling, but these symptoms usually subside quickly. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately. The body responds well to this treatment, and the procedure takes no more than 30 minutes.

What does a typical PRP treatment session involve?

A typical session lasts about 40 minutes. After the blood is drawn, the PRP is prepared and then injected into the scalp. The injections may be slightly painful, but the treatment is generally well tolerated. If the pain is too intense, an anesthetic cream can be applied. The doctor will explain the procedure during the first session and walk you through the process in more detail.

What is PRP therapy?

PRP stands for “Platelet-Rich Plasma.” It is a medical treatment that uses the patient's own blood to promote tissue growth and regeneration. In the context of hair loss, PRP is used to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. In this method for stimulating hair growth, blood plasma is extracted from the blood using a specific procedure and then injected into the scalp by a doctor. Autologous blood therapy / PRP treatment can also be applied to the face, for example, for aesthetic purposes (e.g., skin rejuvenation or wound healing) (also known as a “vampire facelift”). This can be used, for example, to treat wrinkles. At our practice in Zurich, treatment with Platelet-Rich Plasma can be easily performed to combat hair loss. Simply book an appointment on our booking page, and you’ll receive a treatment plan during your free consultation.

What is the difference between PRP and other hair restoration procedures?

There are various hair restoration procedures, such as hair transplants, laser therapy, and medication-based treatments. PRP is a non-surgical option based on natural growth factors.

When will the first results be visible?

The first visible results usually appear within a few weeks to a few months. To maximize the effectiveness of PRP therapy, Māra generally recommends a series of at least four sessions. By administering autologous blood therapy at regular intervals of approximately 28 days, the treating physician can optimally monitor progress and achieve lasting, impressive results.

Who is a suitable candidate for PRP treatment?

PRP treatments can help with various types of hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia (hereditary hair loss) and alopecia areata (patchy hair loss). During your consultation with an expert (e.g., a dermatologist), we can determine whether you are a candidate for autologous blood therapy. A doctor can assess whether PRP treatment is suitable for you. They will also determine if the procedure can be performed on you and can address your specific needs during the consultation. For many clients suffering from hair loss, PRP treatment can be more effective than a hair transplant. This is because in a hair transplant, hair follicles are removed from the donor area and then implanted. This can lead to many complications and take time for the results to become apparent. With the PRP treatment method (also known as autologous blood therapy), which is well-established in aesthetic medicine, the skin’s appearance returns to normal after treatment, and you can resume social activities. for PRP treatment?
