Lunch-break PRP: A cheaper path to fuller hair than costly transplants
A rising, non-surgical option called platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses a patient’s own blood to boost hair regrowth and is pitched as a faster, cheaper alternative to hair transplants (roughly $1,200–$3,500 per session, with some patients needing yearly or quarterly sessions). Beverly Hills doctors say PRP can take about 45 minutes and feel like a “lunchtime” procedure, though they frame it as a base treatment to be combined with other therapies rather than a replacement for transplants. With transplants potentially costing $30,000–$50,000, PRP is attracting interest as an affordable first step for those seeking natural-looking hair restoration.
