PRP Results Timeline: How Many Sessions Do You Really Need?

PRP is carefully prepared from your own blood before each session, ensuring maximum regenerative potential.

If you're considering PRP for hair loss, you're probably wondering — how many sessions does it actually take to see results? At Dunedin Medical & Aesthetics Clinic, we get this question all the time. And thanks to both clinical research and our own patient results, we can give you a confident answer.

Here’s what you need to know about the PRP results timeline, how many sessions work best, and what you can realistically expect from our Crown Confidence programme.

PRP Sessions for Hair Loss: The Crown Confidence Protocol

Unlike the typical 3-month models used in some trials, our Crown Confidence protocol is structured around once-monthly PRP sessions for 6 months. This aligns with your natural hair cycle, providing steady, cumulative stimulation without overwhelming the scalp or patient schedule.

Why monthly for 6 months?

• Clinical trials show increased density and thickness peaking around 4–6 months

• Monthly spacing allows for recovery, regrowth, and tracking

• Real-world data supports gradual, natural improvements over time

We also recommend progress photography every 8–12 weeks to track subtle gains that are often missed by the naked eye.

What to Expect: PRP Effectiveness in NZ Patients

Our Crown Confidence patients typically experience:

• Less shedding by session 2

• Improved texture, volume and density by sessions 3–4

• Visibly thicker areas of concern (e.g. part line, crown) between months 4–6

We often remind patients: PRP is not a miracle injection — it’s a structured, regenerative programme. And for those in NZ with early to moderate hair loss, the outcomes are worth it.

Setting the right expectations for the PRP effectiveness NZ timeline helps ensure satisfaction, retention, and long-term gains.

PRP Results Timeline: Is Maintenance Required After the 6-Month Programme?

Yes — just like skin care or dental cleanings, ongoing support keeps results stable.

Post-programme, we recommend:

• Maintenance PRP every 6–12 months

• Add-on microneedling or exosomes for enhanced results (optional)

• Lifestyle support: stress, sleep, scalp care

Think of your 6-month Crown Confidence plan as the foundation. Maintenance keeps the roof in place.
