Treatment Overview
PRP After Hair Transplant (Graft Healing Booster) in Korea is a specialized therapy designed to accelerate the healing and growth of newly transplanted hair grafts. After a hair transplant, the survival and integration of transplanted follicles are critical for optimal results. This therapy uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP), derived from the patient’s own blood, which is rich in growth factors that promote tissue repair, vascularization, and follicular regeneration.
Korean clinics are internationally recognized for their expertise in combining PRP therapy with hair transplantation. The treatment enhances graft survival, reduces post-surgical inflammation, and accelerates hair regrowth, making it a preferred choice for medical tourists seeking faster recovery and better outcomes.
Purpose & Benefits
PRP therapy after hair transplant aims to:
- Accelerate healing of transplanted hair grafts
- Improve graft survival rates and promote stronger follicle anchoring
- Reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling after surgery
- Stimulate early hair growth from transplanted follicles
- Enhance scalp blood circulation and nutrient delivery
- Minimize post-transplant shock loss
- Support overall scalp tissue regeneration for optimal transplant results
Using PRP as a graft healing booster ensures faster recovery, higher density, and stronger hair growth post-transplant.
Ideal Candidates
This therapy is suitable for:
- Men and women who have undergone hair transplantation
- Patients seeking faster recovery and improved graft survival
- Individuals with early signs of post-transplant shock loss
- Patients who want to enhance the density and quality of transplanted hair
- Those looking for a natural, non-surgical booster to optimize transplant results
Patients with scalp infections or uncontrolled medical conditions may require evaluation before undergoing PRP therapy.
Possible Risks & Complications
PRP after hair transplant is generally safe. Mild, temporary side effects may include:
- Redness or swelling at injection sites
- Minor scalp tenderness or itching
- Pinpoint bleeding
Because PRP is autologous, the risk of allergic reactions is minimal. Serious complications are extremely rare when the procedure is performed in accredited Korean clinics using sterile techniques.
Techniques & Technology Used
Korean clinics utilize advanced methods to optimize PRP therapy after hair transplant:
- Leukocyte-Reduced PRP
- High concentrations of growth factors with minimal inflammation.
- Double-Spin PRP Preparation
- Ensures maximum platelet yield for accelerated tissue repair.
- Precision Injection Techniques
- PRP is injected around transplanted grafts for enhanced healing and vascularization.
- Scalp Imaging & Follicle Mapping
- Trichoscopy tracks graft survival, hair density, and growth progress.
- Combination Protocols
- Some clinics pair PRP with microneedling, low-level laser therapy, or growth factor serums to accelerate follicle recovery and regrowth.
This combination ensures optimal graft survival, reduced inflammation, and faster hair growth.
Treatment Process in Korea
1. Post-Transplant Consultation & Scalp Assessment
- Specialists assess the scalp condition, graft placement, and early healing status using high-resolution imaging.
2. Blood Collection & PRP Preparation
- 10–30 ml of blood is drawn and processed through double-spin centrifugation to produce leukocyte-reduced, high-concentration PRP.
3. Scalp Preparation
- The scalp is disinfected, and numbing cream or cooling devices are applied to minimize discomfort.
4. PRP Injection Procedure
- PRP is carefully injected around transplanted grafts to stimulate tissue regeneration, improve vascularization, and enhance follicle survival.
5. Optional Adjunct Treatments
- LED red-light therapy or nutrient-rich serums may be applied to accelerate graft healing and early hair growth.
6. Follow-Up & Maintenance
- PRP sessions are typically administered 1–3 times in the first 2–3 months post-transplant.
- Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months help sustain graft health and support long-term hair density.
Recovery & After-Care
Recovery is minimal and convenient for post-transplant patients:
- Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at injection sites for a few hours
- Temporary scalp itching or minor discomfort for 1–2 days
- Avoid washing hair for 12–24 hours after PRP
- Refrain from saunas, intense exercise, or heavy sweating for 24–48 hours
- Use gentle, transplant-safe shampoos and avoid harsh chemicals
- Limit alcohol, smoking, and stress to optimize follicle regeneration
Most patients can resume normal activities immediately.
Results & Longevity
Results from PRP as a graft healing booster typically appear gradually:
- 1–2 months: Enhanced healing, reduced inflammation, and early follicle stabilization
- 3–4 months: Noticeable early hair growth and improved graft survival
- 5–6 months: Significant hair growth with increased density
- 6–12 months: Optimal results with stronger, healthier transplanted hair
PRP supports long-term graft survival and accelerates visible hair regrowth after transplantation.
