PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy continues to gain recognition as one of the leading non-surgical treatments for stimulating hair regrowth. While the in-clinic procedure initiates the regeneration process, the months following treatment often play an equally important role in the overall outcome.
Clinicians have found that post-PRP care — including scalp maintenance, nutrition, and consistent follow-up — can influence how well results develop and how long they last.
1. Understanding the PRP Timeline
Hair regrowth after PRP tends to occur gradually. Many patients begin noticing visible improvement between 3 to 6 months, with full results typically becoming more evident around 6 to 12 months.
Documenting progress through regular photos under consistent lighting is a common approach. This helps both patient and practitioner observe subtle changes that may not be apparent day to day and provides an objective record of treatment response over time.
2. The Role of Scalp and Hair Care in Recovery
A healthy scalp environment supports the regenerative effects initiated by PRP. In the days following treatment, gentle care and minimal disruption to the scalp are generally emphasized.
Practitioners often note that avoiding harsh shampoos, limiting heat styling, and ensuring adequate nutrition — particularly protein, iron, and essential vitamins — can help maintain a supportive environment for new hair growth. Light scalp massage is sometimes recommended to promote circulation once the scalp has recovered from the procedure.
These habits, though simple, may complement the biological processes PRP sets in motion.
3. Complementary Support with Viviscal PRO
For many patients, combining PRP with evidence-based, at-home support may further reinforce results. The Viviscal PRO Hair Care System is frequently integrated into post-PRP programs due to its dual approach — nourishing hair internally while strengthening it externally.
- Viviscal PRO Supplements: Formulated with the proprietary AminoMar™ marine complex, Biotin, Apple Extract, and Vitamin C, these supplements have been clinically shown to promote existing hair growth and nourish thinning hair from within.
- Viviscal PRO Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner: Designed to gently cleanse and fortify, these products help maintain a healthy scalp environment essential during the recovery phase.
-
Viviscal PRO Thickening Elixir: A lightweight leave-in designed to enhance fullness while supporting long-term hair health.
In combination, these products provide a comprehensive approach to post-PRP care, aligning with the gradual nature of the treatment’s results.
4. Monitoring Progress Over Time
Follow-up appointments remain an integral part of any PRP protocol. Many clinics schedule evaluations at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months to review scalp health, track visible changes, and adjust supportive care as needed.
Regular documentation helps set clear expectations and allows both provider and client to assess the treatment’s progress objectively.
PRP therapy initiates the process of new hair growth, but long-term outcomes are often influenced by consistent care and maintenance. Combining in-clinic expertise with at-home reinforcement — such as through the Viviscal PRO line — can help support patients in achieving and sustaining optimal hair health.
