Hair Loss Treatment with PRP: An Effective Solution for Hair Restoration with Dr. Alaa Nabil Mohamed
Hair loss is one of the most common problems affecting appearance and self-confidence. With the advancement of cosmetic dermatology, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has emerged as one of the most effective solutions to restore natural hair growth and vitality. Dr. Alaa Nabil Mohamed — a Dermatology and Aesthetic Specialist in Alexandria — emphasizes that PRP hair treatment works by using natural blood components to stimulate hair follicles safely and effectively.
Dr. Alaa Nabil Mohamed explains that PRP therapy involves drawing a small sample of the patient’s blood, then processing it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which contains powerful growth factors that help activate weak follicles and encourage new hair growth. The plasma is then injected directly into the scalp to improve blood circulation and enhance follicle nutrition.
Dr. Alaa Nabil Mohamed confirms that PRP therapy is a natural and safe treatment because it relies on the patient’s own blood, without any chemicals or artificial additives. It helps strengthen hair strands, increase thickness, and gradually reduce hair loss with consistent sessions. The results are also long-lasting when the treatment plan is followed correctly.
Dr. Alaa Nabil Mohamed warns that PRP sessions are suitable for both men and women suffering from genetic (hereditary) hair loss, or hair thinning caused by poor nutrition, stress, or hormonal imbalance. It can also be used as a supportive treatment after hair transplantation to boost graft success and stimulate new growth.
According to Dr. Alaa Nabil Mohamed’s expertise, the session begins with cleaning the scalp thoroughly. Then, blood is drawn and centrifuged to extract platelet-rich plasma, which is injected into areas of thinning or hair loss using fine needles. Each session takes about 30 to 45 minutes and requires no recovery time.
Dr. Alaa Nabil Mohamed stresses the importance of regular follow-ups. Typically, 3 to 6 sessions are recommended, with 3 to 4 weeks between each. Results begin to appear after the second or third session, as patients notice a decrease in shedding and the emergence of new, thicker, and shinier hair.
Dr. Alaa Nabil Mohamed highlights that patients should avoid washing their hair or applying chemical products for 24 hours after treatment and stay away from direct sunlight or heat. He also recommends maintaining a healthy, vitamin-rich diet to support hair growth and maximize results.
