Hair Transplant vs. PRP Treatment: Which is Best for Hair Restoration?

Definition: Hair transplant moves hair from one part of the scalp to another; PRP uses your blood's growth factors to boost hair growth.

Recovery Time: Transplants need weeks to heal; PRP has minimal downtime.

Effectiveness: Transplants offer permanent hair in bald spots; PRP thickens existing hair but doesn't regrow hair where it's totally lost.

Cost: Hair transplants are expensive ($4,000–$15,000); PRP is more affordable per session but needs multiple sessions.

Results Timeline: Transplants show results after 6–12 months; PRP improvements are seen after 3–6 months.

–

Pain and Discomfort: Transplants involve stitches and swelling; PRP feels like a blood draw and small scalp injections.

Risks: Transplants can cause scarring or infections; PRP risks are minimal, mostly minor swelling.

Maintenance: Transplants need little follow-up; PRP requires ongoing sessions every few months.
