Hair loss can affect anyone—regardless of age or gender. For many, the search for a reliable, non-surgical treatment often leads to PRP therapy. Short for Platelet-Rich Plasma, PRP has gained widespread popularity in Dubai and beyond as a natural solution for hair thinning. But while it offers impressive results, PRP isn't suitable for everyone.

As Dr. Fazeela Abbasi, a specialist in PRP hair restoration in Dubai, I believe it's essential to know who truly benefits from this treatment. Let's explore exactly who makes an ideal candidate for PRP hair therapy — and who might need to consider alternative options.

What Is PRP Hair Treatment? (Quick Overview)

PRP For Hair in Dubai uses your body's own blood to stimulate hair growth. After drawing a small amount of blood, we process it to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which contains healing growth factors. This is then injected into the scalp to re-energize weak or dormant hair follicles, improving thickness and reducing hair fall.

It's a safe, minimally invasive treatment — but it works best when used at the right time, on the right scalp, and for the right person.

1. You're in the Early Stages of Hair Thinning

PRP is most effective when hair follicles are still alive but underperforming. If you've recently started noticing thinning at the crown, temples, or along the hairline, you are likely an excellent candidate.

Patients with advanced hair loss or completely bald patches may not benefit much, as PRP does not regrow hair where follicles are no longer active.

2. You're Experiencing Pattern Hair Loss (Men or Women)

PRP works particularly well for androgenetic alopecia — also known as male or female pattern baldness. This condition causes a gradual miniaturization of the follicles over time.

At my clinic in Dubai, I've treated many patients in the early to moderate stages of pattern baldness, both men and women, with noticeable success using PRP. If caught early, PRP can slow down the progression and improve hair density.

3. You Have Postpartum or Hormonal Hair Shedding

Women going through postpartum hair loss or hormonal imbalances (such as PCOS or menopause) often notice sudden, excessive shedding. In many cases, these follicles are still healthy but need support to recover.

PRP can be an excellent restorative treatment for these cases. It helps by improving blood supply to the follicles and shortening the hair's resting phase, allowing strands to grow back stronger and faster.

4. You're in Good General Health

Since PRP uses your own blood, your overall health impacts the quality of the treatment. Ideal candidates should be free from:

  • Blood disorders or clotting issues

  • Chronic liver disease

  • Active infections or scalp conditions

  • Autoimmune diseases affecting hair growth

During your consultation at my Dubai clinic, I carefully review your medical history to ensure PRP is both safe and effective for you.

5. You Prefer Natural, Non-Surgical Treatments

Not everyone is ready for a hair transplant or daily medications. PRP is a great choice if you're looking for a natural alternative, free from synthetic drugs or invasive surgery. Since it uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is virtually nonexistent.

If you're someone who wants real improvement but prefers non-surgical, minimally invasive solutions, PRP may be the right path for you.

6. You're Committed to Multiple Sessions and Maintenance

PRP isn't a one-time solution. It requires a series of sessions (usually 4 to 6) spaced about a month apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4–6 months.

Ideal candidates are patient and consistent — willing to follow through with the full plan. If you're committed to the process, the results can be very rewarding.

Who May Not Be a Suitable Candidate?

While PRP is safe for most people, it may not be effective if:

  • You have complete baldness with no visible follicles

  • You suffer from scarring alopecia or certain autoimmune conditions

  • You have severe anemia or blood platelet disorders

  • You're unable to commit to the treatment schedule

In these cases, I provide honest guidance and may recommend alternative therapies or surgical options if needed.
