Can I Combine PRP Therapy with a Hair Transplant in Calgary?

How PRP Therapy Works

PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing power. A small amount of blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma, a concentration of growth factors known to repair tissue and stimulate cell regeneration. When injected into the scalp, PRP helps strengthen existing hair follicles and improve the environment for new growth. 

At Hair Nation, PRP is often performed alongside a hair transplant. The growth factors in PRP accelerate healing, improve graft survival, and encourage transplanted follicles to thrive. 

Why PRP and Hair Transplants Work Well Together

Supporting Growth and Recovery 

After a hair transplant, new follicles need a stable environment to anchor and grow. PRP boosts blood flow, reduces inflammation, and delivers essential nutrients directly to the follicles. This helps minimize shedding and promotes thicker regrowth in the months following surgery. 

• For men: PRP can help stimulate early regrowth around the hairline and crown, two common areas of transplant focus. 
• For women: the therapy encourages uniform thickening throughout the scalp, improving density in areas affected by diffuse thinning. 

Long-Term Maintenance Benefits 

PRP doesn’t just help transplanted follicles — it also strengthens your existing hair. Regular maintenance sessions can slow further loss and improve texture and fullness over time. 

• For men: ongoing PRP treatments may help maintain transplanted density and reduce future thinning. 
• For women: consistent therapy supports improved scalp health and thicker, more resilient strands. 

What to Expect from Combined Treatment 

Patients who combine PRP with their hair transplant often notice faster recovery, reduced shedding, and earlier visible growth. PRP can be applied during the surgery itself or as part of a post-operative care plan. 

Most patients see visible improvement within three to six months, with continued gains as transplanted hair matures. Because PRP uses your own plasma, there’s virtually no risk of reaction or rejection, making it a safe complement to both FUE and FUT techniques.
