The procedure in brief
| Who for | Early and moderate androgenetic alopecia in men and women |
| How it works | Blood draw, centrifugation, injections into the scalp; 30–60 minutes |
| Course | Usually 3–4 sessions about a month apart, then maintenance every 3–6 months |
| What studies show | Meta-analyses show increased hair density compared with placebo; studies are small and protocols differ |

Important before treatment
- Hair loss has many causes: iron deficiency, thyroid disease, stress, alopecia areata. A dermatologist’s diagnosis comes first.
- PRP is often combined with minoxidil or other treatments prescribed by a doctor.
- Contraindications: blood disorders, anticoagulants, scalp infection, cancer, pregnancy.
- Soreness, swelling and temporarily increased shedding are possible.
We select clinics and request a plan and prices. Other procedures are on the aesthetic medicine page.

How can RegenPAS help?
RegenPAS is a patient service centre in Munich, not a clinic. We review your images and symptoms and send a request to several partner clinics at once. Clinics that can accept you send their own conditions and price; prices differ between clinics, and you choose the option that suits you. The coordinator replies within 24 hours, and a clinic physician’s preliminary opinion follows in 1–3 business days. We then arrange the appointment, visa invitation, interpreter, transfers and accommodation. Treatment decisions are made by the clinic physician. Contact a coordinator.
