Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment has become a highly recommended option for those looking to stop hair loss and strengthen the follicle naturally. But did you know that summer can be an ideal time to start your sessions?
In this article, we’ll tell you why getting PRP at this time of year can be a great decision, and what benefits you can expect if you’re considering improving the health of your hair.
Why start PRP in the summer?
Although many people associate summer with more hair loss (seasonal effluvium), it is precisely for this reason that starting treatment during these months can help you prevent more severe hair loss and prepare your hair for fall, when hair loss tends to intensify.
Specific benefits of summer:
- More oxygenated scalp (due to increased outdoor activity), which can improve the response to treatment.
- Sun exposure (with adequate protection) also stimulates the synthesis of vitamin D, essential for hair health.
What exactly is hair PRP?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is an autologous treatment, meaning it is performed using your own blood. A small amount is extracted, processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma with the highest concentration of platelets, and then applied through microinjections into the scalp.
This plasma is rich in growth factors that stimulate:
- Hair follicle regeneration.
- The formation of new blood vessels.
- The activation of stem cells in the hair root.
What are the real benefits of PRP?
- Reduces hair loss.
- Improves hair thickness and quality.
- Promotes regeneration after hair transplants
- There is no risk of rejection (it’s your own blood)
- It’s a quick, safe procedure with immediate recovery.
- It’s not a miracle treatment, but it is a great complementary tool in phases.
- Initial treatment for alopecia or to reinforce the results after an injection.
How often is it recommended?
The usual protocol is 3 to 4 sessions separated by 30 days, with maintenance every 6 months. Therefore, starting in the summer allows you to complete the first cycle before fall, when hair usually needs more support.
