What is PRP hair treatment?
1. Taking a blood sample:
The process begins by taking a small amount of blood from the patient's arm, usually 20ml (two tubes).
2. Platelet Separation:
The blood is then centrifuged to separate the platelets from the other blood components. The result is concentrated platelet-rich plasma.
3. Scalp Plasma Injection:
This concentrated plasma is injected into the areas of the scalp affected by hair loss. The injections are done carefully, approximately every centimeter, to ensure even distribution.
Although results are not immediate, patients typically notice an improvement in hair quality within a few months. PRP treatments often require three sessions spaced four weeks apart, with additional maintenance treatments every three to six months to achieve optimal results.
PRP uses the patient's own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions and side effects.
The treatment does not require surgery and has minimal recovery time.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment and can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.
Although PRP treatment is generally safe, there are some potential risks such as minor infection, minor hematomas, or irritation at the injection site. Patients with low platelet counts, active scalp infections, or certain medical conditions are not suitable candidates for this treatment.

PRP hair treatment (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a treatment that uses your blood to obtain platelet-rich plasma, which is then applied to the scalp to support follicles and improve hair quality. At the Poliklinka Dijamant in Sarajevo, PRP hair treatment is performed as a treatment for hair loss or as support after a hair transplant.
PRP contains growth factors that can support microcirculation and “signal” follicles to enter a more active growth phase. This is why PRP in Sarajevo is often used to strengthen existing hair and reduce excessive hair loss.
PRP is often a good choice for people with initial or moderate hair loss, thinning, and poor hair quality. At the Poliklinka Dijamant Sarajevo, the assessment is made individually based on the condition of the scalp and the cause of the hair loss.
PRP is usually not recommended for active infections, some clotting disorders, severe hematological diseases, or for people who cannot donate blood.
PRP can help reduce hair loss and improve hair quality in certain patients, but it is not a “guarantee” and does not work the same for everyone. The best effects are often achieved when PRP is incorporated into a scalp care plan that addresses the cause of hair loss.
PRP cannot replace transplantation when follicles have already been permanently lost (bald area without follicles). PRP is used to strengthen existing hair or as support after hair transplantation. Poliklinka Dijamant Sarajevo gives recommendations after examination.
Usually, a small amount of blood is taken, the blood is centrifuged using special methods and in special tubes to separate platelet-rich plasma, then PRP is applied (microinjections) to the scalp.
There is a stinging and burning sensation during the microinjections, but the discomfort is tolerable, so the PRP treatment is almost painless.
PRP treatment usually takes about 30–60 minutes, including preparation and application, depending on the protocol. At the Poliklinka Dijamant Sarajevo, the duration is adjusted to the scalp area.
Most often, a series of treatments is performed (e.g. several treatments spaced a few weeks apart), usually one treatment per month for 3-4 months, and then one PRP treatment every 6 months. The exact number and schedule of PRP hair treatments at the Poliklinka Dijamant Sarajevo is determined by the goal and the response of the scalp.
Results are usually not seen immediately. The first changes (less shedding, better quality) are often noticed only after a few months.
The effects depend on the cause of the decline and maintenance. In some people, the effects last for months, and then maintenance is needed.
PRP may help some patients with androgenetic alopecia, especially in the earlier stages, but it is often combined with other measures as recommended by a specialist.
The most common are mild redness, swelling and tenderness at the injection site. Severe reactions or infections rarely occur. At the Poliklinka Dijamant Sarajevo, work is carried out under sterile conditions and instructions for care.
It is advised to avoid intense sweating, sauna and aggressive preparations shortly after the treatment.
It is recommended to postpone washing for at least a few hours or until the next day.
PRP is often used to support the recovery and quality of the scalp after hair transplantation, in accordance with a plan determined by the clinic.
PRP uses the patient’s own blood, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions to foreign substances. However, safety depends on proper preparation, sterility and evaluation of indications. Poliklinka Dijamant Sarajevo performs an assessment before treatment.
Choose a clinic that assesses the cause of hair loss, uses a sterile protocol, provides a clear plan for a series of treatments, and monitors results through check-ups. Poliklinka Dijamant Sarajevo fulfills all of the above.
