Understand the treatment

What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrate of platelets from your own blood. About 10 to 20 ml of blood is taken from your arm and spun in a centrifuge, which separates the plasma from the red blood cells.

The plasma is then injected carefully into the scalp. After a transplant it goes into the treated areas, where it supports healing and the recovery of the scalp.

Because PRP comes from your own blood, nothing foreign is added to your body.

PRP supports a transplant, it does not replace one: it cannot grow hair where follicles are gone. With every hair transplant package, PRP is included free, worth €600.

Good to know. PRP is a support, not a replacement for a transplant. Your plan says honestly whether it adds anything in your case.

No ice or heat on the scalp for 72 hours.
No hot shower or bath for 72 hours.
No alcohol or blood-thinning food or drinks.

Ask on WhatsApp

How long does PRP take to show results?

The effect of PRP usually shows over 3 to 6 months.

Does PRP hurt?

PRP is minimally invasive. You feel a little discomfort when the plasma is injected into the scalp, and that is all.

Can PRP replace a hair transplant?

No. PRP can support existing follicles and the healing after a transplant, but it cannot grow hair where follicles are gone.

Who should not have PRP?

People with a blood or platelet disorder, a systemic infection, or who take medicines that affect clotting should not have PRP without their doctor’s advice.

Is PRP included with a hair transplant?

Yes. PRP is included free with every hair transplant package, worth €600. If you would like PRP on its own, without a transplant, its price is in your free plan.

Why have a hair transplant in Turkey?

Turkey, and Istanbul in particular, is one of the most established destinations for hair transplants. Patients from the UK, Europe and the USA travel here for experienced teams and package prices that are usually well below the cost of the procedure at home. At BlueMagic Group Clinic, packages in Turkey start from €3,400 and include the hotel, private transfers, a translator and a 12-month aftercare programme. Your personal plan can be above the starting price, depending on the number of grafts you need, your donor area and scalp, your hair type, the technique your doctor recommends (Sapphire FUE, DHI or two sessions), and extra density or an advanced case. Whatever the country, compare clinics on the facts: ask for the technique, the graft estimate and the price in writing before you travel.
