PRP for hair loss in Berlin

Autologous blood therapy at your dermatologist: Highly concentrated PRP as a regenerative therapy for thinning hair.

Medical treatment for hair loss in Berlin

If beginning hair loss is noticed, patients understandably wish for quick help. However, the topic is complex and can have many different causes: hereditary, hormonal, stress-related, inflammatory, or due to deficiencies.

In our Berlin practice, we therefore do not view hair loss in isolation. The decisive factor is whether the hair follicles are still active, which form of hair loss is present, and which therapy is realistically sensible. PRP is our regenerative treatment option here: Platelet-rich plasma is obtained from the patient’s own blood, containing many platelets, growth factors, and the body’s own signaling substances.

The goal is to provide targeted support to the hair root and to stimulate the scalp in its natural regeneration. Receive detailed information in an initial consultation and join us on the path to healthier hair.

Hair loss Berlin – your PRP treatment

PRP is about supporting the hair root where activity is still present. That is why we plan the treatment at Myskin Berlin tailored to the patient and with realistic expectations.

Analyse First, we check which pattern your hair loss shows: receding hairline, thinning crown, diffuse thinning, or decreasing hair density. This determines whether PRP can be a suitable regenerative option.

For the treatment, the patient’s own blood is drawn and centrifuged twice in a closed process using the Arthrex ACP Max™ system. This produces a highly concentrated, platelet-rich PRP with the body’s own growth factors and signaling substances – prepared more precisely than with the classic ACP process.

The obtained plasma is introduced into the scalp. The injections are targeted at the areas where the hair root is to be supported and scalp regeneration is to be stimulated.

Hair grows slowly. Therefore, a possible result does not appear after a few days, but over several months. We discuss in advance how many sessions are useful and when a realistic assessment is possible.

Possible Side Effects

Even though PRP is obtained from the patient’s own blood, your scalp will react to the treatment. Possible side effects include slight pain during the injection, redness, minor swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. These complaints are usually mild and temporary.
At Myskin-Berlin, we use the closed system of the ACP protocol, which ensures 100% sterility. A precise injection as well as a realistic assessment beforehand are also a matter of course for us.

When PRP is an option for hair loss

PRP is not a blanket solution for every hair problem. The treatment can be used anywhere hair follicles are still present and can respond to regenerative impulses. Therefore, at Myskin-Berlin, we first check which form of hair loss is present and whether PRP treatment is medically sensible.

Androgenetic Alopecia: The best data exists for hereditary hair loss. PRP helps here to support the activity of existing hair follicles and to improve hair density.
Thinning Hair: If the hair becomes finer overall, the parting appears wider, or the scalp becomes more visible, PRP is also a regenerative therapy option here.
Beginning Receding Hairline: In the early stages of this hair loss, PRP has a supportive effect. In contrast, the possibilities are limited for areas that are already completely bald, as lost hair follicles cannot be formed anew.
Diffuse Hair Loss: Diffuse hair loss can have many causes. Only once these have been classified can it be assessed whether the use of PRP is sensible or rather another form of therapy.
After Hair Transplants: PRP is excellently suited to support the scalp and hair follicles after a hair transplant and is recommended for this purpose by leading surgeons.

However, for the treatment of inflammatory, circular, or scarring forms of hair loss, a particularly precise dermatological diagnosis is required. In these cases, PRP is not automatically the focus; rather, the treatment of the underlying disease comes first. Only once this has been treated can we check whether PRP should be used.

How autologous blood therapy works at the hair root

The platelet-rich plasma is obtained from a small amount of your blood. In a multiple centrifugation process, we obtain a concentrated plasma fraction that contains a particularly high number of platelets. These blood platelets release growth factors and signaling substances in the body, which are relevant for cell activity, blood circulation, healthy tissue regeneration, and the growth phase of the hair follicles.

At Myskin-Berlin, we use the Arthrex ACP Max™ PRP system for this:

PRP (platelet-rich plasma), PRF (platelet-rich fluid): This is our ACP system. Here, we obtain a 3- to 4-fold platelet concentration from 15 ml of blood down to just under 5 ml of plasma. One centrifugation run takes place.
ACP Max: Here, we obtain a 12-fold increased platelet concentration from 90 ml of blood down to 5 ml of plasma in 2 centrifugation steps. In this highly concentrated plasma, abundant endogenous (the body's own) exosomes are found alongside the intact platelets. The effect on many tissues is significantly stronger than with "normal" ACP.

PRP for hair loss in Berlin – your specialist medical treatment

Hair loss often changes more than just the outward appearance. It can cause uncertainty, trigger questions, and negatively alter how you view yourself. This makes a treatment that begins not with blanket promises, but with a medical assessment, all the more important.

For this reason, we at Myskin-Berlin place great value on a personal consultation. Together, we discuss whether PRP treatment is an option for your hair loss, how many sessions might be sensible, and what results can be realistically expected.

Since PRP treatment for hair loss is a private medical service, we transparently discuss the expected costs before starting any therapy.
