Hair loss in women and men can significantly affect self-confidence and have various causes. At our first-class Skinthetics practice in Düsseldorf, we offer PRP / Platelet Rich Plasma therapy, an innovative and natural treatment for hair loss. This state-of-the-art treatment method uses the body's own regenerative powers to stimulate hair growth and improve hair quality.
PRP / Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy Hair is based on the use of your own blood, making it a particularly well-tolerated and natural treatment. Dr. Lucija Grittern, our expert in aesthetic Dermatology, has many years of experience in applying this effective method. In our luxurious surroundings, we develop a tailor-made treatment concept for each patient.
Areas of application for PRP/platelet-rich plasma therapy:
• Androgenetic alopecia (hereditary hair loss)
• Diffuse hair loss
• Alopecia areata (circular hair loss)
• Improvement of hair quality and density
• Thinning hair
• Strengthening of weakened hair follicles
• Regeneration of the scalp
Hair loss can have various causes and affect both men and women. The most common form is androgenetic hair loss, which is hereditary and caused by increased sensitivity of the hair follicles to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This hypersensitivity leads to miniaturization of the hair follicles, causing the hair to become thinner and eventually fall out.
Other causes of hair loss can include hormonal changes, stress, nutrient deficiencies, medication, or scalp disorders. At our practice, Dr. Lucija Grittern performs comprehensive diagnostics to identify the individual causes of your hair loss and treat them accordingly.
PRP/platelet-rich plasma therapy is a regenerative procedure in which platelet-rich plasma is extracted from your own blood. The platelets contain important Growth factors and proteins that stimulate the natural healing and regeneration processes in the hair follicles.
During the treatment, a small amount of blood is taken and processed in a special centrifuge. This concentrates the platelets, creating a plasma that contains about three to five times more growth factors than normal blood. This concentrated solution is then injected into the affected areas of the scalp.
Our expert recommends PRP / Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy for the following indications:
- Early or advanced androgenetic hair loss
- Diffuse hair loss with thinning hair density
- Circular hair loss in stable phases
- Declining hair quality and thickness
- Preparation and follow-up treatment for hair transplants
- Slowing down hair loss
- Stimulation of dormant hair follicles
- Improvement of scalp health

Before each PRP / Platelet Rich Plasma therapy, we conduct a detailed consultation. Dr. Lucija Grittern analyzes your hair loss, discusses your expectations, and develops an individual treatment plan. We recommend that you refrain from taking blood-thinning medication and drink plenty of fluids before the treatment.
The treatment begins with the removal of a small amount of blood from a vein in the arm. The blood is processed in our modern centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. The scalp is then disinfected. The PRP obtained is injected into the affected areas of the scalp using fine needles. The entire treatment takes approximately 60 minutes.
After PRP/platelet-rich plasma therapy, you can leave our practice immediately. We recommend that you do not wash your hair for 24 hours and avoid intense sunlight. Slight redness or swelling usually subsides within a few hours. Sports and physical exertion should be avoided for 24 to 48 hours.
Our new clinic is located just a few minutes’ walk from our previous premises. We look forward to welcoming you in a stylish, modern setting – designed for calm, comfort, and a relaxed treatment experience.

PRP/platelet-rich plasma therapy is suitable for men and women with various forms of hair loss. The treatment is particularly effective for early-stage alopecia and for the improvement of hair quality. At our practice, Dr. Lucija Grittern will assess on an individual basis whether you are suitable for this treatment.
For optimal results, we generally recommend three to four treatments at intervals of one to two weeks. Refresher treatments every six to twelve months may then be beneficial. The exact treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs.
The first improvements can be seen after about six to eight weeks. The full result usually develops over three to six months. Hair growth is a slow process, so patience is required.
The effect of PRP/platelet-rich plasma therapy for hair can last for 12 to 18 months. As the aging process and genetic factors continue to have an effect, we recommend regular refresher treatments to maintain the result.
Most patients find the treatment to be generally painless. The injections may cause a slight feeling of pressure.
Since the patient's own blood is used, allergic reactions are very rare. Possible side effects may include slight redness, swelling, or minimal bruising at the injection sites, which subside quickly. Serious complications are very rare when performed properly.
After the treatment, you should take care of your scalp for 24 hours and not wash it. Avoid intense sunlight and sports for one to two days. Follow the individual aftercare recommendations of our team.
The cost of PRP/platelet-rich plasma therapy starts at €330; 3 sessions start at €900. The exact price is calculated individually based on the scope of the treatment. We will be happy to provide you with a detailed cost estimate during a personal consultation.
